7 Mounting Options Wall Mount Ceiling Mount Parapet Mount Figure 2 8 Camera Arm Removal NOTE: The camera/arm needs to be removed from the back box to allow the back box to be mounted to the designated mounting wall, ceiling, or parapet surface. 1. Using the Allen wrench (supplied) loosen the 4 screws located on the corners of the power/data back box. 2. Unplug the two camera-side connections from the back box (Figure 3). 3. Remove the camera/arm module from the back box.
9 Mounting the Power / Data Back Box Before mounting the power / data back box, determine if the camera installation will be wall, ceiling, or parapet and if the wiring will pass through the compression fittings in the back or the ½” NPT conduit mount on the bottom of the back box.
10 Terminating Power and Data Cabling Inside the Back Box Power and data cabling must be routed to the right side (wall-side) of the back box. Cut all cables with sufficient slack to reach the connector terminals in the back box but not long enough to be pinched or obstruct the arm installation.
1. Connecting Power: The IQeye Sentinel can be powered via Ethernet using an IEEE 802.3af power source, or powered directly. - Powered via PoE: Input from conforming IEEE 802.3af Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) power injector or switch. Powered Directly: Input voltage is 12-24V DC or 24V AC.
11 Camera Arm Installation The back box is provided with arm hangers on both sides to hold the camera/ arm module on the back box to facilitate installation. (Figure 8) NOTE: The arm hangers function perfectly at any orientation of the junction box and will firmly hold the camera and junction box cover in any of the wall, ceiling, or parapet mount configurations. Figure 8 1. Insert the two (2) pins into the channel and slide the camera / arm module down until it locks in place on the arm hanger.
5. If mounting the unit outdoors, please take necessary and thorough measures to ensure the camera unit is properly sealed from inclement weather. An example would be to use silicone sealer around the back of the base, being sure to surround all holes with a generous bead of sealant to the outer edge of the back box surface. The sealing method chosen should be in accordance with any local, state, county and country requirements and laws.
Adjusting / Removing the Sunshield CAUTION The IQeye Sentinel sunshield is not captive to the camera enclosure. Handle the sunshield securely during adjustment, installation and / or removal. NOTE: For indoor applications of the Sentinel, the sunshield may be removed for aesthetic reasons. Though it is not required for normal operation of the Sentinel, the following instructions detail proper adjustment / removal / installation of this sunshield. 1.
b. Removal – With the set screw loose, pull the sunshield forward until it is free of the sunshield bracket. c. Optional – The bracket that holds the sunshield can also be removed if desired. To remove the sunshield bracket, loosen and remove the two (2) 3 mm countersunk screws using the supplied 3 mm Allen wrench. The bracket can then be removed.
4. To view a camera, double click a camera entry or highlight a camera in the list and click the “Web Page” button (Figure 14). The “Live” page will be displayed through the default browser (IE recommended). It is also possible to open Internet Explorer and enter the IP address of the IQeye camera in the address field of the browser. If prompted, install the Active X control (Figure 15). Figure 15 Figure 14 5. To perform further configuration of the camera, click on the “Setup” tab.
14 Camera / Lens Adjustment / Remote Back Focus 1. Using the supplied 3mm Allen wrench, loosen any two adjacent screws of the four available ball pivot screws (Figure 17). This should loosen the ball enough to allow repositioning of the camera to the desired orientation. Tighten the screws to secure the camera module in place. Figure 17 2. For the ceiling or parapet mount, it may be necessary to rotate the lower portion of the ball bracket.
4. Browse to the camera homepage and go to the Setup > Focus tab (Figure 20). Figure 20 5. Set the iris on the lens to the ‘Open’ position then lock it down with the iris set screw. 6. If the back focus has been set before using the camera, click the “restore defaults” button on the Focus tab to reset the back focus adjustment. 7. Use the Varifocal adjustment on the lens to set the field-of-view, then lock the Varifocal adjustment set screw. 8.
The following image (Figure 22) is an example of an image focused enough to ensure a remote one-touch focus can be completed. Figure 22 NOTE: IQinVision provides a desiccant pack for placement inside the lens cover assembly. IQinVision requires the desiccant pack to be installed to prevent fogging of the inside of the lens glass due to any moisture that is present when installing the camera. 9.
