Installation

Caution

To prevent the camera from falling, make sure to attach the supplied wire 
rope.

Suitable lens 

The lens must be a CS-mount type and the protrusion behind the mounting 
surface must be 5.5 mm (

7/32

 inch) or less.

Caution

When you install it into a wall or a ceiling, check that the wall or the ceiling 

 

ˎ

is strong enough to hold the weight of the camera including the mounting 
bracket, and install it without fail. If not, the camera falls down and causes 
a serious injury.  
Also, check if the mounting is not loosened at least once a year. Make the 
checking interval short according to use condition.
Performance will depend on the installation environment and the lens 

 

ˎ

itself. For details, contact your authorized Sony dealer.

Attaching the wire rope 

When you install the camera on a ceiling or a high position, be sure to attach the 
supplied wire rope to prevent the camera from falling.
Attach the wire rope to the screw hole on the rear of the camera, as in the 
illustration.

Note

Take care not to short-circuit the power terminal or the cable with the wire rope 
when you attach it.

1

  Secure the wire rope to the junction box on the ceiling. 

Use a screw to match the screw hole of your junction box (not supplied).

2

  Secure the wire rope to the wire rope mounting screw hole on the rear of 

the camera using the supplied screw.

Caution

Use the supplied screws for installation. If not, the wire rope may not function 
properly.

Adjusting the Camera Coverage and Focus 

1

  Loosen the zoom ring locking screw to adjust the camera shooting 

coverage.

2

  Tighten the locking screw to fix the zoom.

3

  Loosen the focus ring locking screw to adjust the focus.

4

  Tighten the locking screw to fix the focus.

5

  Press the Easy Focus button on the rear to automatically adjust the 

focus.

Note

You may not achieve satisfactory focus with the Easy Focus button due to the 
shooting environment.
In this condition, press and hold Easy Focus button for more than 4 seconds to 
return to the default flange back position. Then, adjust the focus following  
step 3 and 4.

Connection

Connecting to the Network

Connect the network cable of the camera to a router or hub in the network using 
the network cable.

Connecting the Power Source

There are three ways to supply power to this camera, as follows.

12 V DC

 

ˎ

24 V AC

 

ˎ

Power supply equipment pursuant to IEEE802.3af (PoE* system)

 

ˎ

*PoE stands for Power over Ethernet.

Note

Do not connect the power input cable if power is supplied by a PoE system.

Connecting to 12 V DC or 24 V AC source

Connect the power input cable of the camera to a 12 V DC or 24 V AC source.

Use a 12 V DC or 24 V AC source isolated from 100 to 240 V AC. The acceptable  

 

ˎ

voltage ranges for each are as follows.

12 V DC: 10.8 V to 13.2 V
24 V AC: 19.2 V to 28.8 V
-  In the USA, The product shall be powered by a UL Listed Class 2 Power 

Supply Only.

-  In Canada, The product shall be powered by a CSA certified Class 2 Power 

Supply Only.

Use UL cable (VW-1 style 10368) for these connections.
