Installation
This section covers siting the camera, installing the mount, and installing the camera.
Before You Install the Camera
All ClearSHOT cameras include a wall mount.
n
Choose a camera mounting location that will optimize camera performance. Consider camera viewing
angles, lighting conditions, line-of-sight obstructions, and in-wall obstructions where the camera is to be
mounted.
n
Ensure that the camera body can move freely and point away from the ceiling and lights. The camera
will not perform well if it is pointed toward a light source such as a light fixture or window.
n
Follow the installation instructions included with the camera mount.
Note
Dome enclosures are not recommended for ClearSHOT 10 USB cameras.

Cabling Notes
For RS-232 cabling, use Cat-5 or Cat-5e/6 cable and standard RJ-45 connectors (568B termination) from
the camera’s RS-232 port to the controller's RS-232 port. If the camera is connected to a third-party control
system (such as AMX or Crestron), a DE-9F (sometimes called DB-9F) adapter is supplied.
We recommend using high-quality connectors and a high-quality crimping tool.
Note
Do not use pass-through RJ-45 connectors. These can cause intermittent
connections and degraded signal quality, resulting in problems that may be hard to
diagnose. Use standard RJ-45 connectors and test all cables for proper pin-outs and
continuity before you connect them to Vaddio products.
