The camera includes connectors for the following:
•
Ethernet
(required): The Ethernet drop cable can connect to a LAN extension cable from a
switch or Network Video Recorder. The camera can be powered across the LAN using power over
Ethernet (PoE) injection. See the
Specifications
section at the end of this document for power
requirements.
•
12 Vdc power input
(optional if PoE powered, required if not): If powering the camera
with a long power extension cable, refer to the tables at the end of this guide for wire gauge
requirements. Voltage input at the camera can be within the range 12 Vdc ± 25%.
•
Alarm IN/OUT, Audio IN/OUT
(optional): Connect these leads to auxiliary devices as needed.
The camera supports one alarm input, one alarm output, one audio input and one audio output.
Audio IN and OUT terminations require 3.5 mm standard mono audio plugs.
•
Ground
: A ground terminal is provided on the junction box for attaching an earth ground to the
camera. Follow local electrical codes for grounding procedures.
1.
Route a LAN extension cable from a network switch or Network Video Recorder to where the
camera will be installed.
2.
If the camera is not powered using PoE, route 12 Vdc power cables from an adequate power
source to the location where the camera will be installed. For long line power leads, refer to the
Wire Gauge Standards
and
12 Vdc Wire Gauge and Transmission Distance
tables at the end of this
document. Voltage input at the camera can be within the range 12 Vdc ± 25%.
3.
Install alarm input and out devices as needed, and then route wires from them to where the
camera will be installed. Alarm terminations for one input (NO or NC) and one output alarm
device (DC or AC) are screw-down connectors that accommodate bare wires.
4.
Install audio input and out devices as needed, and then route cables from them to where the
camera will be installed. Audio terminations in the camera are 3.5 mm standard mono plugs.
Step 2. Install the camera
Install microSD card
Install a microSD card in the camera to locally save alarm and status information, and locally record
video and video captures. Refer to the
Specifications
section for storage card requirements. To install the
card:
1.
Un-package the camera and lay it upside down on a clean, soft surface.
2.
Rotate the decorative ring to the left as shown in the drawing below, and then remove it from
the camera assembly.

NOTE
Cleaning
: If needed, clean the camera lens with a soft cloth and isopropyl alcohol.
Step 1. Route wiring to the camera
Interface cables can be routed into the camera either through the adapter plate (through the mounting
surface) or through the side inlet of the camera.
NOTE
When selecting a mounting location for the camera
• Make sure that there are no reflective surfaces near to the camera lens. IR light from the camera may
bounce back onto the lens causing reflections.
• Determine how interface wiring are routed into the camera. The adapter plate can attached to a
surface, or attached to a single-or double-gang electrical box.
