Cable Connections
All cabling is done to the boards located on the back of the front plate.
Note: Vicon systems and components, like most electronic equipment, require a clean, stable power
source. Voltage irregularities such as surges, drops, and interruptions can affect the operation of your
equipment and, in severe cases, damage certain components.
8-pin terminal block on board.
Pinouts are as follows (printed on the board):
Pin1 : AUDIO OUT
Pin 2 : GND
Pin.3 : AUDIO IN
Pin4 : GND
Pin.5 : ALARM Out
Pin 6 : GND
Pin 7 : ALARM IN( IP Only)
Pin 8 : GND
Analog Cable Connections
1. Connect the power cable to the 2-postion terminal block. The camera accepts 24 VAC (or 12 VDC)
and polarity is not relevant.
2. Connect the coaxial cable for video output to the BNC connector.
3. To adjust the intensity of the LED illuminators, use switch slides. The factory setting is for
maximum intensity.
4. Connect the device to the AO (Alarm Out) and G (Ground) terminal block connectors. Alarm Out
can activate external devices such as buzzers or lights. There is no AI (Alarm In). Connect the Audio
In and Out as needed. Pinouts for the terminal block are printed on the board. Refer to figure above.
IP Cable Connections
1. Use the RJ-45 connector if powering the camera using PoE. If using 24 VAC (or 12 VDC), connect
the power cable to the 2-postion terminal block. Connect the positive (+) pole to the ‘+’ position
and the negative (-) pole to the ‘-’ position. Use certified/Listed Class 2 power source only.
2. Video and data are transmitted via the RJ-45 connector. Generally a cross-over cable is used for
direct connection to PC, while a direct cable is used for connection to a hub.
3. To adjust the intensity of the LED illuminators, use web control. The factory setting is for maximum
intensity.
4. Alarm connections: AI (Alarm In): External devices can signal the network camera to react on
events. Mechanical or electrical switches can be wired to the AI (Alarm In) and G (Ground) terminal
block connectors. G (Ground): Connect the ground side of the alarm input and/or alarm output to
the G (Ground) connector. Alarm Out: The network camera can activate external devices such as
buzzers or lights. Connect the device to the AO (Alarm Out) and G (Ground) terminal block
connectors. Connect the Audio In and Out as needed. Pinouts for the terminal block are printed on
the board. Refer to figure above.
5. Connecting Video Output: Video Output is provided for an easy zoom and focus control when
adjusting lens. Connect your Video cable unit to J5 on the board.
Final Installation
When all connections are made, secure the front plate to the base plate using the security screws
previously removed using no. 20 Torx bit.
