Installation
Notes
Do not grasp the camera head when carrying the camera.
Do not turn the camera head manually. Doing so will result in the camera
malfunctioning.
Installing the Camera on the Ceiling
You can view the image of this camera in the normal direction when the camera
is installed on the ceiling.
Using the supplied ceiling brackets, wire rope and screws, you can utilize existing
junction boxes, etc., to attach the camera to the ceiling.
When you install the camera, always install it on a level ceiling. If you have to
install it on a sloping or uneven ceiling, make sure that the place where you
install it is within ±5 degrees of the horizontal in order to ensure the pan/tilt
mechanism functions properly.
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 on the ceiling, ensure that the ceiling is strong
enough to withstand the weight of the camera plus the ceiling brackets
and then install the camera securely. 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 the ceiling, check periodically, at least once
a year, to ensure that the connection has not loosened. If conditions
warrant, make this periodic check more frequently.
Before installation
After deciding the direction in which the camera will shoot, make the required
holes for the junction box, and connecting cables.
Note
The connecting cables cannot be passed through the upper ceiling bracket. A
hole for the wiring is required in the ceiling at the back of the camera where it is
attached to the ceiling.
Installation
1
Attach the fall-prevention wire rope to the junction box in the ceiling.
Use a screw hole and a screw (not supplied) in the junction box to attach the
wire rope.
2
Attach the upper ceiling bracket to the junction box on the ceiling.
Align the holes in the bracket with those in the junction box, and use
appropriate screws (not supplied).
There is a screw hole in the rounded edge of the upper ceiling bracket. Later,
the front of the camera will be aligned with this screw hole. Attach the upper
ceiling bracket paying attention to the direction of the front of the camera.
3
Attach the lower ceiling bracket to the bottom of the camera using the
supplied four screws (
M3 × 8).
Attach also the wire rope to the bottom of the camera using the supplied
screw (
M4×8).
When attaching, align the screw holes on the bottom of the camera with
those in the ceiling bracket, and set the triangular hole in the ceiling bracket
at the front of the camera.
Tighten the screws a little bit at a time in the numbered order shown in the
illustration. After all of the screws are temporarily tightened in the proper
manner, securely tighten each one in turn.
Caution
To attach the ceiling bracket, use only the screws supplied with the
camera. Using other screws may damage the camera.
4
Insert the raised protrusions on the lower ceiling bracket into the spaces
provided in the upper ceiling bracket, and temporarily fix them by turning
the camera with lower ceiling bracket clockwise.
5
While pushing up on the front part of the camera, attach it using the supplied
three screws (
M 3 × 8), starting with the screw at position
.
6
Connect the cables to the connectors on the rear of the camera.
7
To use the supplied cable cover, attach the supplied cable cover mounting
bracket to the rear of the camera using the supplied two screws (
M 3 × 8).
Attach the bracket with the flat surface downwards.
8
Temporarily attach the cable cover by inserting the raised protrusions on the
cable cover into the gaps at the rear of the upper ceiling cover. Then fix the
cable cover using the supplied two screws (
M3 × 8).
To extend the cables through the rear of the cable cover, cut out the thinner
portion of the cover using a cutter knife.
Note
Take proper steps to ensure that the load of the connected cables does not
cause problems.
Removing the camera
1
Remove two screws used to attach the cable cover in step
8
of “Installation”
and remove the cable cover.
2
Disconnect the cables from the connectors at the rear of the camera.
3
Remove three screws used to attach the camera in step
5
of “Installation.”
4
Pushing the entire camera up towards the ceiling, turn the camera
counterclockwise as far as it goes, then pull it out.
Connection
Connecting to the Network
Connect the LAN port of the camera unit to a router or hub in the network using
the network cable (straight, not supplied).
To connect to a computer
Connect the LAN port of the camera unit to the network connector of a
computer using the network cable (cross, not supplied).
Connecting the Power Source
Connect the 12 V DC or 24 V AC power supply system to the power input
terminal on the rear of the camera.
Use the 12 V DC or 24 V AC power source isolated from the 100 to 240 V AC.
The usable voltage range is as follows:
12 V DC: 10.8 to 13.2 V
24 V AC: 21.6 to 26.4 V
Use the UL cable (VW-1 style 1007) for 12 V DC or 24 V AC connection.

Connecting the I/O Cable
Using the I/O receptacle
While holding down the button on the slot to which you want to connect the
wire (AWG No. 28 to 22) with a small slotted screwdriver, insert the wire into the
slot. Then release the screwdriver from the button.
Repeat this procedure to connect all required wires.
