Installing the Camera
The following describes procedures for mounting the camera to a ceiling.
Before installing the camera, set the IP address and other network information on the camera
using the “Camera Management Tool” on the Setup CD-ROM.
For details on how to operate the
“Camera Management Tool”, see “Camera Management Tool User Manual”.
1
Determine an installation position for the camera and drill holes in the ceiling
Use the included template to determine the positions of the fixing screw holes and wiring hole
( 40 mm ( 1.6 in.)) according to the camera orientation. Next, cut out the wiring hole, and drill
the fixing screw holes in the the ceiling.
Use the template with the printed side facing you.
2
Loosen the three lock screws on the dome case and remove the dome case
Special temper-resistant screws are used for the dome case lock screws. Use the included
dome case lock screw wrench.
3
Remove the tape and the inner cover
Remove the 4 pieces of tape that prevent lens rotation during shipping, and push the inner
cover in the direction of the arrows to remove it. Then remove the 2 pieces of tape attached to
the base of the lens.
Important
Do not move the lens unit by hand. This can damage the lens unit.

Connecting the Camera
Power Connection
Power can be supplied to the camera in the three ways described below. Please be sure to read
the user manual for the dedicated power supply before use.
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”).
• When using the heater unit HU600-VB (sold separately), use 24 V AC for the VB-H630VE/VB-M620VE
power supply. PoE, 12 V DC and the AC adapter cannot be used.
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.
Midspan (a LAN cable power supply device) is a device that, like a PoE HUB, supplies power to the
camera via a LAN cable.
• 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.
• 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).
External Power Supply
12 V DC or 24 V AC input can be used.
Connect the included power connector as shown below.

Tightening torque: 0.25 N·m (max.)
Strip
Approx. 5 – 7 mm
(0.20 – 0.28 in.)
Power connector
(included)
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.

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 output 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.
