Installation overview
The camera can be powered by a 12 V DC supply, or via PoE (Power over Ethernet) power supply. Ensure the
power supply is included in your installation planning.
Power up the camera and connect it to an MFD to find the best installation position.
Connect the camera to the power supply with a suitable rated fuse or circuit breaker. Switch off the power supply
whilst installing the camera.
To avoid damage to the camera housing, fully loosen the lock screws (
A
) before making any position adjustments
to the inner dome.
The camera is supplied with a fixed IP address. This is displayed on the identification label attached to the camera cable. Note down the IP
address. You will need it when setting up the camera in the MFD. Note the IP address here for future reference:

Installing the camera
1.
Place the base into the desired mounting position and mark the screw hole positions and cable
entry position on the mounting surface. You can also exit the cable through the base instead of
drilling a hole for it. Drill the pilot holes for the mounting screws and the cable hole if needed.
Screw the base into place using the screws you have decided to use. Use caution to not splinter or
damage the surface if fitting onto a fiberglass surface.
2.
Slide the camera cable through the cable entry hole you have just drilled or the base exit channel.
3.
Ensure terminations are protected from any moisture ingress. Fit the water resistant RJ45 back
shell over the CAT5 cable and terminate the RJ45 connector in accordance with T568B wiring
specifications. Plug your RJ45 jack into the camera’s RJ45 socket. Ensure the water resistant back
shell is tightened into place. Refer to the “Fit the field installable waterproof RJ45 jacket” section.
4.
Place the inner dome onto the protective foam/rubber ring on the base. Place the cowling over
the inner dome and move into position. The cowling will fit over the inner dome and on to the
base. Once in position, carefully tighten the lock screws until they lightly hold the inner dome in
position.
Fit the field installable waterproof RJ45 jacket
When installing in an external location, or any position that will be prone to moisture ingress or harsh weather, it is important that the
waterproof RJ45 connector (supplied) is used to protect the camera’s RJ45 connection.

).
2.
Crimp an RJ45 Network plug (
C
) onto the end of the cable in accordance
with the diagram. Ensure the wires are terminated in the correct order and
are not crossed.
3.
Place the O-Seal (

) onto the end of the camera’s network interface socket
(
A
).
4.
Plug the network plug (
C
) into the camera’s network interface socket (

).
5.
Insert the waterproof rubber gasket (

) into the waterproof end cap (
D
)
and secure the lock nut (

) with the waterproof end cap (
D
).
6.
Slide the waterproof end cap (

) toward the camera’s network interface
socket (
A
) and rotate until it locks.

Powering the camera
¼
Note:
To prolong the operation life of the camera’s sensor we advise that power to the camera is routed via a
dedicated power switch.
PoE powering
PoE requires only one cable to power the camera and carry the video image. An Ethernet cable and a PoE power supply/injector (
A
)
or a combined PoE Injector/Switch (
B
) is required.
Connect an Ethernet cable to the camera using the waterproof RJ45 jacket as described above. Connect the other end to the PoE Injector or
switch which should also be connected to the vessel’s Ethernet network system:

12 V DC powering
A 12 V DC source (
C
) can power the camera. 12 V DC must be applied to the camera’s DC connector using the supplied 12 V DC plug. This is not a
waterproof connection, place it so as to avoid water ingress. Connect the camera’s Ethernet cable to the MFD or MFD’s Ethernet network.
¼
Note:
Ensure correct polarity as indicated on the DC plug.
¼
Note:
0.75 mm2 (18 AWG) wires are recommended for the DC power.
¼
Note:
A direct connection to the camera’s DC cable can be made by cutting off the DC connector. In this case, connect all red wires (if more
than one) to 12 V DC (+) and the black wire to (-).

Setup your camera on your MFD
The camera comes pre-configured to be used on select Simrad®, Lowrance® or B&G® MFDs - there are no user configurable settings. You will
need the camera’s unique IP address that is located on the packaging or on the identification label attached to the cable of the camera.
For the URL address enter one of the following:
•
172.23.xxx.xxx/LIVE/0/MAIN for HIGH resolution stream (for high resolution MFD’s).
•
172.23.xxx.xxx/LIVE/0/SUB for LOW resolution stream (for low resolution MFD’s).
¼
Note:
172.23.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the camera.
For more information refer to the documentation of your MFD.
¼
Note:
The camera must be individually setup on all MFDs that you want to view the camera on.
¼
Note:
Ensure the camera is installed and powered on before proceeding with setup.
Care and cleaning
This product is a sensitive piece of electronic imaging equipment and must be handled and treated accordingly. Do not drop or shake the unit
during installation. Avoid direct sunlight exposure through the lens as this may degrade the camera’s performance over time.
When cleaning the device, ensure power is switched off. Clean the camera housing with a soft cloth. Moisten the cloth and use a mild liquid
detergent if required. The lens window has a protective coating which may suffer damage as a result of improper cleaning. To clean the lens
window use a microfiber cloth. Moisten with clean water if necessary.
