Mounting the Camera
These board cameras come with four fixing holes at the corners of the board. The camera has two
connection leads, one fitted for 12v DC power and video, and a separate cable for menu control.
Powering the Camera
This board camera requires a 12V DC regulated power supply. The board camera is provided with a
2.1 jack plug connected. The centre pin of the jack plug connects to 12vDC + on the power supply.
The black power ground (0v outer connection on jack plug) connects to 12vDC-. It is recommended
to use a power supply that is rated higher than the current consumption of the camera e.g. POW150
would be adequate for powering one camera, but when powering more you must look at the bigger
power supplies. Using an underrated power supply will cause it to run hot and will greatly reduce
its life. If you are using the Easy Connection Kits that comprise of the (CCT801/802/808/809) to
power and connect your camera (12V models only) please proceed as per the instructions supplied
with The Easy Connection Kit. You will need to cut off the DC Plug ONLY and use the bare wires
to connect through a terminal block. The 12V positive is the RED wire, the 0V is the BLACK wire.
Always use a 12vDC regulated power supply. This board camera draws 250mA so the power
supply must be rated at 300mA minimum to provide sufficient headroom.
Video Connection
The same fly lead is used for the video connection. The board camera is provided with a BNC
connection for video. The inner connection of the BNC is the video connection and the BNC outer
is the video ground. Remember that the Video out from the camera is like any other electrical
circuit and requires two wires to complete the circuit. When using a coax type cable such as RG59
or similar for video, the outer braid of the coax provides the ground connection and the inner the
video connection.
Camera Menu
This board camera provides additional camera options selected using the
OSD menu. To enter the menu, press the centre menu button.
