2.1 General Guidelines
•
Camera Lens
: Handle the camera carefully to prevent scratching or soiling the lens. If the lens or IR array shield becomes
soiled, clean it only with approved products. See the
Cleaning
section later in this manual.
•
Monitor impedance
: Set the monitor impedance switch to 75Ω.
•
Power supply
: To avoid fire or shock hazard, use only a UL listed power supply.
•
Camera drop cable
: The camera drop cable includes two connectors:
—
Power connector
(red sleeve) – Use 24 Vac power source (AC24V 1A adapter) or 12 Vdc power source (DC12V
1A adapter). When applying 12 Vdc power, observe the power polarity. Power polarity indicators are molded onto the
power connector sleeve (see the picture below).
—
Video coax connector
(BNC, yellow sleeve) – for transmission of the video signal across coax (75 Ω) cable.

2.2 Mounting the camera
The camera can be mounted on any surface with sufficient strength to support it. The video/power drop cable from the camera can
be routed either through the cable hole in the center of the base plate, or through a cable guide in the mounting bracket.
1.
Using the camera mounting plate as a guide, mark the location of the screws that anchor the mounting plate to the
mounting surface. If you are routing the drop cable through base, also mark the position of the hole for the drop cable.
NOTE
Position the mounting plate so that the cable guide in the mounting bracket is pointing away from any source of
water, dust, and other contaminates.
2.
Drill holes for the screws that anchor the base to the mounting plate to the surface. Four (4) course-threaded screws are
provided. However, depending on the surface materials, more appropriate fasteners may be required.
