Before installing the camera, set the IP address and other network information on the camera
using the “VB Initial Setting Tool” on the Setup CD-ROM.
For details on how to operate the “VB Initial Setting Tool”, see “Operation Guide”.
1
Determine an installation position for the camera and drill holes in the ceiling
Use the template included with the ceiling mount cover (sold separately) to determine the
positions of the fixing screw holes and wiring hole (43 x 84 mm (1.7 x 3.3 in.)) according to the
camera orientation. Next, cut out the wiring hole, and drill the fixing screw holes in the ceiling.
2
Attach the ceiling plate to the camera
Fix the ceiling plate to the camera with the four screws (M3) included with the ceiling mount cover
(sold separately).
3
Secure the safety wire
Securely attach the safety wire to an anchor or structure. After securing one end of the safety
wire to the ceiling, secure the other end to the camera using the screw that is fastened to the
camera.
Important
If a wiring hole cannot be opened in a concrete ceiling, etc., secure the wiring to a comparable location.
4
Fix the ceiling plate to the ceiling
Fix the ceiling plate to the ceiling at four points using the appropriate screws. The ceiling plate
has four diameter 4.5 mm ( 0.18 in.) screw holes. Use the appropriate screws for ceiling
mounting in accordance with the condition and material of the installation site.
5
Connect the LAN cable to the camera through the wiring hole
If AC Adapter PA-V17 (sold separately) or an external power supply is used, connect the
power connector to the camera.
Connect cables to external device I/O terminals and audio input/output terminals as
necessary.

Install the ceiling mount cover
Align the (O) mark on the ceiling mount cover with the (I) mark on the rear of the camera, and
turn the cover clockwise to the (I) position.
Check that the ceiling mount cover is securely attached.
Note
Cutout section
If the cables cannot be stored above a ceiling made of concrete, etc., or if the cables
do not fit within the ceiling mount cover, bend the cutout section of the ceiling mount
cover using diagonal pliers, etc., to create a cutout through which to guide the cables.
7
Reboot the camera when the installation is complete
The camera position is initiated (see “Operation Guide” > “Setting Page” > “Maintenance”).
Important
The camera can be installed in the upright position. Attach commercial anti-slip guards to the base of the
camera and set on a flat, stable surface without inclination, or fix the camera to a tripod, etc. Be sure to use
a tripod with mounting screws shorter than 5.5 mm (0.22 in.). Using a tripod with mounting screws 5.5 mm
(0.22 in.) or longer may damage the camera. Also, use a tripod with a base diameter of 30 mm (1.18 in.) or
more.

Connecting the Camera
Power Connection
Power can be supplied to the camera in the three ways described as follows.
PoE (Power over Ethernet)
The camera supports PoE functions. Power can be supplied to the camera by using a LAN cable
to connect it to a PoE HUB that conforms to the IEEE 802.3af standard.
Important
• Check with your dealer for more information about PoE HUB and Midspan technology.
• Some PoE HUBs allow current limits for each port, but applying limits may interfere with performance. If
using this type of PoE HUB, do not limit the operating current.
• Some PoE HUBs have total consumption current limits for ports, which can interfere with performance
when multiple ports are in use. For more information, check the instruction guide for your PoE HUB.
• Use a category 5 or higher cable 100 m (328 ft.) or less in length for the LAN cable that connects the
camera and the PoE HUB.
• When the camera is connected to a switching HUB, changing the connection while the camera is
operating may cause the HUB learning function to interfere with communication. Do not change the
connection when the camera is operating.
• The camera can also be connected to an AC adapter (sold separately) while receiving power from
a PoE HUB. In such cases, the PoE power supply is given priority, and the camera does not use the
power supply from the AC adapter (sold separately). When the PoE power supply is disconnected,
power is supplied automatically from the AC adapter (sold separately). Midspan (a LAN cable power
supply device) is a device that, like a PoE HUB, supplies power to the camera via a LAN cable.
External Power Supply
12 V DC or 24 V AC input can be used.
Connect the included power connector as shown below.

Tightening torque: 0.2 N·m
(max.)
Strip
Approx. 4 – 6 mm
(0.16 – 0.24 in.)
Power connector
(included)
For 12 V DC and 24 V AC input, use a power supply insulated
from 100 V AC.
12 V DC can be connected in a non-polar configuration.
Important
• The power supply should be within the following voltage range.
• 24 V AC: Voltage fluctuation within ±10% of 24 V AC (50 Hz or
60 Hz ±0.5 Hz or less)
Current supply capacity of at least 1.0 A per camera
• 12 V DC: Voltage fluctuation within ±10% of 12 V DC
Current supply capacity of at least 1.5 A per camera
• When using a 12 V DC battery power supply, be sure to connect
resistors of at least 0.5 – 1.0
Ω
/20 W in series to the power line.
• For an external power supply, use a double-insulated device.

Note
• The camera does not have a power switch. Connecting and disconnecting the LAN cable (PoE power
supply), AC adapter, or external power supply plug turns the power ON and OFF, respectively.
• When the camera needs to be rebooted, perform the reboot operation from the camera setting page
(see “Operation Guide” > “Setting Page” > “Maintenance”).
External Device I/O Terminals
External device I/O terminals consist of two input and output systems each. Viewer can be used
to check external device input status and control ouput to an external device (see “Operation
Guide” > “Selecting the External Device Output” and “Displaying Event Status”).
External Device Input Terminals (IN1, IN2)
External device input terminals consist of two sets (IN1, IN2) of two terminals, with the negative
terminals connected to the camera interior GND. Connecting cables to the positive and negative
terminals and opening or closing the circuit notifies the Viewer.
Important
• When connecting sensors and switches, connect terminals that are electrically isolated from the
respective power and GND.
• Do not push the external device I/O terminal button with too much force. Doing so may cause the button
to remain pushed-in.
External Device Output Terminals (OUT1, OUT2)
External device output terminals consist of two sets (OUT1, OUT2) of two terminals. The sets
have no polarity. Controls from the viewer can be used to open and close the circuit between the
terminals. Using optical couplers, the output terminals are isolated from the camera's internal
circuit.
