Field of view
The PRO-750 can pan a full 360º. This means that (for example) installing the
PRO-750 in a tight corner is probably not an ideal utilization of its potential! A wall
is a better option, as it allows 180º of view for the camera. A freestanding pole
of sufficient height and integrity to reliably hold the camera securely is an ideal
choice, as is the centre of the ceiling in a larger room or a warehouse.
Height
For best results, the PRO-750 PTZ Dome should be mounted as high up as
practicable. This is because the camera has complete freedom of tilt movement in
the 90º below the horizontal plane. Stated more simply, it can see things below it,
but not above!
Joining Cables
We strongly advise against the modification (i.e. cutting and/or joining) of video
cables. Each cut/join will noticeably reduce video quality, and increase the chances
of the system failing over time. We also advise against using cable joiners/adaptors
to plug multiple cables together. Rather, we suggest using a single unmodified
video cable, chosen in accordance with the guidelines below.
Recommended Cable Length and Type
Being a semi-professional PTZ dome system, the PRO-750 benefits greatly from
being installed using high quality cables to minimise video signal loss. This becomes
particularly important if using a cable longer than approximately 100ft/35m. The
longer the cable used to carry the video signal, the more noticeable the reduction
in video quality will become.
To maximise the quality of the video signal, consider using a high quality video
cable or installing your monitor/recording device closer to the PTZ dome. Of course,
in many circumstances, moving the monitor/recording device is not a viable option;
in these cases, a high quality cable is the best solution.
For optimal results, use a single, unbroken coaxial cable with a solid
copper core and copper braid shielding.
Exposure to Weather
The Pro-750 PTZ Dome is weather and water resistant (rated IP66). However, be
aware that long term exposure to adverse weather conditions (extreme temperature
fluctuation, excessive moisture or direct sunlight) may eventually interfere with the
correct operation of the unit.
IMPORTANT: If mounting the camera outside, be sure to properly seal all
joints in the mounting arm/bracket using a silicon sealant. If this is not
fully sealed, water can enter the dome causing malfunction or failure.
