Installation Manual

Installation overview
The installation of domes has been made much easier with many innovations that are now available in the
CyberDome II™ line of domes. All coaxial, UTP (certain models only), and data connections are built into the
housing, and configuration parameters are stored in the housing as well. Addressing is still done on the camera.
Housing memory allows you to replace cameras or move them between housings without having to reprogram
them for each new site. As you install the first dome, you will find many other enhancements that make
installation easier and quicker.
The general steps for installing your dome include:
• preparing the mounting surface and installing the mount (if used) and housing;
• preparing the cables and wiring the housing;
• addressing the camera site, setting the protocol, and setting the termination;
• installing the PTZ camera assembly; and
• installing the dome.
Product description
CyberDome II is a line of advanced pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) cameras. In addition to powerful cameras,
CyberDome II features a graphical programming interface for easier customization of camera settings, and
passcodes for protection against unauthorized access.
The CyberDome II protocol is backward compatible with the Digiplex protocol. You can replace older PTZs in
an existing Digiplex system with CyberDome II PTZs. You can also place just the camera in a CyberDome
housing, however; some of the functionality will not be there.
Be aware that the power requirements for CyberDome II and CyberDome are different. Refer to Power
requirements on page 7 and Power cable size and length requirements on page 7.
