Running Out The Cable
Before you run out the cable make sure that you have correctly identifi ed the camera
and monitor ends to save wasting time and effort turning the cable around.

Connecting The Cable To The Camera
The
Yellow
Phono connection of the cable is for the Video signal. On some CCTV
cameras the video output may be a Phono connector but on most it is a BNC type. If this
is the case you would need a Phono/BNC converter (
CON003
).
If the camera has audio out, this will usually be a Phono connection. The
White
Phono connector is for the audio signal and needs to be connected to the camera’s
audio out.
The remaining connector is a 2.1mm D.C power plug and needs to be plugged into
the camera’s D.C power in. If screw terminals are provided for powering the camera,
simply chop off the power plug and use the red core as +12V and the black as 0V.

Connecting The Cable To The Monitor
On the back of the monitor there may be one of the following types of connection:
- Phono, BNC or SCART. The yellow Phono connector is for the video signal and
the white Phono connector is for the audio signal. If you are connecting to Phono
connections you can simply plug the cable straight into the monitor. When using a
SCART connection you will require a
VID015
Phono to SCART converter. To connect
to a BNC monitor you would need a Phono/BNC converter (
CON003
).

Powering The Camera
The cable is fi tted with a moulded 2.1mm DC plug and socket for easy connection.
When selecting a PSU always leave at least 30% headroom on top of the cameras
maximum current consumption. Also note that the cable does have a maximum rating
of 1A @12V DC.
Once you are confi dent that the camera and monitor are connected correctly, you
can plug in the PSU and power up the system.
On CCTV monitors, a picture should instantly appear when you power up the system. If
a cloudy white picture appears with no detail or an out of focus picture, it is probably
how the camera or lens has been set up and not the actual cabling that is at fault. To
check this, simply remove the lens from the camera and place your hand over the front
of the camera to see if the picture on the monitor screen darkens. If it does, then the
cabling, connectors and power are OK but it is how the lens and camera have been
set up that is wrong. To remedy this, refer to the camera and lens instructions.
You can of course connect the camera to a switcher or quad before the monitor as
well as directly to a monitor. If you wish to do this, it is always recommended that
you initially set up the camera
Only
to the monitor to prove that they are connected
and set up correctly. Once you have proved they are working satisfactorily, you can
proceed to installing the camera with any other equipment in your system such as a
quad or switcher. If you fail to get a picture after you introduce other CCTV equipment
such as a switcher, quad, multiplexer or DVD recorder, then go back to basics and
connect the camera directly to the monitor to ensure you get a picture. You can then
eliminate item by item in your full system to identify the cause of the problem.

The Expert’s Advice...
“When choosing a
PSU ensure it supplies
at least 30% more
power than your
camera’s maximum
current consumption.
Never use a PSU at
its maximum capacity.
It would be the same
as driving a car at
its top speed all the
time without expecting
something to give!.”
