CONNECTING THE CAMERA
Before you can operate the camera, you must connect it to a system,
which can support Guardian G710PTZC operations. There are three sets
of connectors including power, video and the bare control wires. This
latter connection is covered on the next page.
NOTE:
We recommend connecting the camera (at least
temporarily) to some PTZ controller to test your settings
and connections before mounting it in its final location.
POWER AND VIDEO CONNECTION
STEP 1.
Connect the BNC and power leads from the camera to the
camera to the matching connectors on a video/power cable
NOTE:
these may need to be purchased separately if your
camera was not included as part of a bundle package.
IMPORTANT!
When connecting the power and video cable
between the camera and the DVR, the “male” power end
(red plug) connects to the matching power lead on the camera.
STEP 2
. Connect the power lead on the other end of the video/power
cable to a power adapter or power distribution panel. Make certain that
the power supply is rated for DC 12 volts and 800mA to 2A.
STEP 3
. Connect the BNC connector on that same end of the cable to
a Video In port on the back of the DVR.
You can now plug the camera’s power adapter into a surge protector and
turn it on. To protect your investment, we STRONGLY recommended using
a surge protector that is dedicated power supply, for a clamping voltage
of 330 or lower, a Joule rating of at least 400 and a response time of 10
nanoseconds or less.
