Preparations When installing the camera on a ceiling or a wall, there are three methods as specified below. • Directly mounting to a ceiling or a wall • Use the supplied mount bracket • Use the one-gang junction box Important: • Procure 3 screws (M4) to secure the camera or the mount bracket (accessory) to a ceiling or a wall according to the material of the installation area. Do not use wood screws and nails.
Method of camera installation Installing the camera directly on the ceiling or wall Note: • Use the installation template label (accessory) with the side with the arrow facing you. • Ceiling installation: Place the installation template label so that the "h" is pointing to the front of the camera (the lens side). • Wall installation: Place the installation template label so that the "h" is pointing down.
n Ceiling n Wall Using the mount bracket (accessory) Note: • When the camera is mounted on the ceiling or wall with a hole for cable running and the cables are passed through a conduit, the mount bracket is used. • The female thread for conduit is compliant with ANSI NPSM (parallel pipe threads) 3/4" or G3/4 of ISO 228-1. • Ceiling installation: The mount bracket shall be mounted with aligning the front side (the lens side) of the camera with the position of the arrow in "h".
Tamperproof screw hole Cable access hole Place the installation template label (accessory) on the ceiling or wall, mark the hole for the cable to be passed through and for the fixing screws (3 places), then open the holes. Remove the installation template label, and mount the mount bracket with 3 fixing screws (locally procured).
Using a one-gang junction box • Secure the mount bracket (accessory) to the one-gang junction box built in a ceiling or a wall. [Mounting hole pattern] One-gang junction box 83.5 mm {3-9/32"} Mount bracket (accessory) Note: • Ceiling installation: The mount bracket shall be mounted with aligning the front side (the lens side) of the camera with the position of the arrow in "h". • Wall installation: The mount bracket shall be mounted with "h" facing upward.
Insert/remove an SDHC/SD memory card Important: • Before inserting the SDHC/SD memory card, turn off the power of the camera first. • When inserting an SDHC/SD memory card, make sure the direction. • Before removing the SDHC/SD memory card, select "Not use" for "SD memory card" on the [SD memory card] tab of the setup menu first. Turn off the power after "Not use" selection, and then unload the SDHC/SD memory card.
Connection Before starting the connection, turn off the power of the devices to be connected. Check and prepare the required devices and cables for connection. Note: • Refer to pages 26 and 27 when using the mount bracket (accessory). • Refer to pages 26 and 27 when using the conduit. z Connect a LAN cable (category 5 or better, straight) between a PoE device (such as a hub) and the network connector of the camera.
Important: • Use all 4 pairs (8 pins) of the LAN cable. • The maximum cable length is 100 m {328 feet}. • Make sure that the PoE device in use is compliant with IEEE802.3af standard. • When the LAN cable is disconnected once, reconnect the cable after about 2 seconds. When the cable is quickly reconnected, the power may not be supplied from the PoE device. Waterproof treatment for the cable joint sections Adequate waterproof treatment is required for the cables when installing the camera outdoors.
