Installation
WARNING
If you attach the camera in the height such as the wall or the ceiling, etc.,
entrust the installation to an experienced contractor or installer.
If you install the camera at a height, ensure that the installation location and
its material are strong enough to withstand a weight of 15 kg (33 lb 1 oz) or
more, and then install the camera securely. If they are not strong enough, the
camera may fall and cause serious injury. If the ceiling is not strong enough,
the camera may fall and cause serious injury.
To prevent the camera from falling, make sure to attach the supplied wire rope.
If you attach the camera to a high location, check periodically, at least once a
year, to ensure that the connection has not loosened. If conditions warrant,
make this periodic check more frequently.
Deciding the Installation Location of the Camera
After deciding the direction in which the camera will shoot, make the required
hole (ø40 mm (1
23
/
40
inches)) for the connecting cables using the supplied
template. Then decide the four mounting hole positions to install the camera
stand.
Mounting screws
The camera stand is provided with four ø4.5 mm (
3
/
16
inch) mounting holes.
Install the camera stand on a ceiling or wall with screws through four mounting
holes: The required mounting screws differ depending on the installation
location and its material. (Mounting screws are not supplied.)
Steel wall or ceiling: Use M4 bolts and nuts.
Wooden wall or ceiling: Use M4 tapping screws. The panel thickness must be
15 mm (
5
/
8
inch) or more.
Concrete wall: Use anchors, bolts and plugs suitable for concrete walls.
Junction box: Use screws to match the holes on the junction box.
WARNING
The required mounting screws differ depending on the installation location and
its material. If you do not secure the camera with the appropriate mounting
screws, the camera may fall off.
Installing the Camera
1
Pass all the signal cables through the hole for the cables made at the
installing surface.
2
Fix the supplied wire rope to the camera unit and the ceiling or wall.
Fix the wire rope with the supplied Screw
M4 × 8 to the hole for the
wire rope on the camera stand.
Fix the wire rope to the ceiling or wall.
3
Install the camera on the ceiling or wall
Insert the four screws to the screw holes on the camera stand, and then
tighten the screws to attach the camera.
When installing the camera on the wall, be sure the TOP mark on the camera
stand is at top.
Refer to “Mounting screws” for screw to be used.
Adjusting the Camera Direction and Coverage
1
Loosen the camera head fixing screw with the supplied wrench.
2
Adjust the camera to turn the lens in the desired direction.
3
Tighten the camera head fixing screw with the supplied wrench to fix
the camera.
4
Loosen the retaining screw with the supplied wrench to open the
control panel cover.
5
Adjust the zoom by the Zoom buttons.
The zoom indicator is displayed on the monitor.
6
Press the Easy Focus button to automatically adjust the focus.
7
Close the control panel cover and Tighten the retaining screw with the
supplied wrench.
8
Repeat steps 1 to 5 until the coverage and the focus are determined.
Notes
When you adjust the camera head angle without loosening camera head
fixing screw, an internal part may be damaged.
If the camera head is too heavy to be adjusted, loosen the camera head fixing
screw until it moves freely.
If you cannot achieve satisfactory focus with the Easy Focus button due to the
shooting environment, use the Focus buttons to focus manually. The focus
indicator is displayed on the monitor.
Connection
Connecting to the Network
Connect the LAN cable of the camera to a router or hub in the network using
the network cable (straight, not supplied).
To connect to a computer
Connect the LAN cable of the camera to the network connector of a computer
using the network cable (cross, not supplied).
Connecting the Power Source
There are three ways to supply the power source to this camera, as follows.
12 V DC
24 V AC
Power supply equipment pursuant to IEEE802.3af (PoE* system)
*PoE means Power over Ethernet.
Note
If the power is supplied from the power input cable and LAN cable at the same
time, the power from the LAN cable has priority over the other.
Connecting to 12 V DC or 24 V AC source
Connect the power input cable of the camera to a 12 V DC or 24 V AC source.
Use a 12 V DC or 24 V AC source isolated from 100 to 240 V AC. Each usable
voltage ranges are as follows.
12 V DC: 10.8 V to 13.2 V
24 V AC: 21.6 V to 26.4 V
In the USA, The product shall be powered by a UL Listed Class 2 Power Supply
Only.
In Canada, The product shall be powered by a CSA certified Class 2 Power
Supply Only
Use UL cable (VW-1 style 10368) for these connections.
