Installations/Connections

Caution:

• FOR UL LISTED MODEL(S), ONLY CONNECT 12 V DC CLASS 2 POWER SUPPLY.

This camera is designed to be installed on a ceiling.

Before starting the installation/connection, prepare the required devices and cables.

Before starting the connection, turn off the power of the devices including the camera and the PC or disconnect from the

12 V DC power supply.

Install

When installing the camera on a ceiling, there are two methods; wiring through a hole in the ceiling (☞ page 16) and wiring through a cable guide (unnecessary to make a hole in the ceiling) (☞ page 20).

Important:

• Procure 4 screws (M4 or M6) to secure the camera mount bracket (accessory) to the ceiling according to the material of the installation area. In this case, wood screws and nails should not be used.

When installing on concrete ceiling: Fix with anchor bolts (M6).

(Recommended tightening torque: M4: 1.6 N·m {1.18 lbf·ft}, M6: 5.0 N·m {3.69 lbf·ft})

• Required pull-out capacity of a single screw/bolt is 196 N {19.99 lbf} or more.

• If a ceiling board such as plaster board is too weak to support the total weight, the area shall be sufficiently reinforced or the ceiling mount bracket for the camera WV-Q105 (option), or the ceiling embedding bracket WV-Q155S/

WV-Q155C (option), shall be used.

• When using an outdoor housing to install the product on the ceiling, use the inner cover (provided with WV-Q157 or other optional mount brackets). That can avoid the shape of the camera from reflecting on images.

• When using a mount bracket (option) or inner cover (provided with WV-Q157 or other optional mount brackets), refer to the operating instructions of the bracket in use.

• Remove the cover film from the transparent part of the dome cover after the installation is complete.

• Be sure to install the safety wire to prevent a fall of the camera resulting in injury or accidents in case the mount bracket (accessory) comes off. (Only for models that can be installed with a safety wire)

Important:

• Do not connect 2 wires or more directly to a terminal.

When it is necessary to connect 2 or more wires, use a splitter.

• Input and output of the external I/O terminal 2 and 3 can be switched by configuring the setting. Refer to the Operating Instructions (PDF) for further information about the EXT I/O terminal 2 and 3 (ALARM IN2, 3) settings ("Off", "Alarm input", "Alarm output" or "AUX output").

• The default of EXT I/O terminals is "Off". When "Off" is selected, it is possible to connect external devices as well as the input setting.

• When using the EXT I/O terminals as the output terminals, ensure they do not cause signal collision with external signals.

Close: Output voltage 1 V DC or less (maximum drive current: 50 mA)

• Microphone/line input connector

Connect a monaural mini plug (ø3.5 mm).

• Input impedance: Approx. 2 kΩ

• Recommended cable length: 1 m {3.28 feet} or less

(for microphone input)

10 m {32.8 feet} or less (for line input)

• Recommended microphone: Plug-in power type

• Supply voltage: 2.5 V ±0.5 V

• Recommended sensitivity of microphone: –48 dB ±3 dB (0 dB=1 V/Pa,1 kHz)

• Recommended plug: L type

Important:

• Connect/disconnect the audio cables and turn on the power of the camera after turning off the power of the audio output devices. Otherwise, loud noise may be heard from the speaker.

• Audio output connector

Connect a stereo mini plug (ø3.5 mm) (Audio output is monaural.). Use an external powered speaker.

• Recommended cable length: 10 m {32.8 feet} or less

• Recommended plug: L type (A straight type plug must be 40 mm {1-9/16 inches} or less.)

• Monitor out connector for adjustment

Connect a monaural mini plug (ø3.5 mm) (only for checking if images are displayed on the monitor).

• Recommended plug: Straight type (Because of the pin array difference, it is difficult to fit an L type plug into this connector.)

Important:

• The monitor out connector for adjustment is provided only for checking the adjustment of the angular field of view on the video monitor when installing the camera or when servicing.

It is not provided for recording/monitoring use.

• Black bands may appear at the top and bottom or right and left of the screen. (That does not affect the adjustment because the angular field of view is not changed.)

Step 6

Mount the camera onto the camera mount bracket

(accessory). Fit the lock plate of the camera onto the guide part of the camera mount bracket, and rotate the camera clockwise after inserting the camera while putting the center of the camera (screw hole for a tripod) onto the center of the camera mount bracket.

Important:

• When the power of the camera is turned on, the camera will start panning and the position will automatically be initialized.

• Do not touch the camera in the process of initialization. Otherwise, it may fail to initialize and may cause malfunction.

• When the camera has been inadvertently touched and moved after the initialization is complete, the preset positions may be inaccurate. In this case, use the position refresh function or restart the camera to correct the preset positions.
