as necessary and secure the cable clamp.

Caution: Installation of the rear cover is required for UL/Canadian UL compliance.

7. When the camera mounting frame assembly is secured to the surface, apply an epoxy security

sealant around the perimeter of the base plate assembly where it meets the ceiling/wall. [Vicon

recommends DynaPoxy™ EP1200 (US) or Arbokol 1025 (UK) or equivalent for this purpose.]

 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.

1) Micro SD memory slot on the Board

Card Slot for Micro SD memory: Socket “J10.” (SD card customer-supplied.)

2) Connecting to the RJ-45

Connect a standard RJ-45 cable to the network port of the network camera. Generally a

crossover cable is used for direct connection to a PC, while a direct cable is used for

connection to a hub.

3) Connecting Alarms

 AI (Alarm In):

External devices can be used to signal the network camera to react upon events. Mechanical

or electrical switches can be wired to the AI (Alarm In) and G (Ground) 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) connectors.

4) Connecting the Power

Connect the power of

12 VDC or 24 VAC for the network camera. Connect the positive (+) pole to

the ‘+’ position and the negative (-) pole to the ‘-’ position for the DC power.

 Be careful not to reverse the polarity when connecting the power cable.

 A router featuring PoE (Power over Ethernet) can also be used to supply power to the

camera.

 The heater can be powered by a 24VAC, 12VDC, or PoE power source.

 For the power specifications, refer to the Appendix, Product Specification.

 If PoE and 12 VDC are both applied, the camera will be supplied with power from PoE.
