Locally procure the screws 
Screws  are  not  supplied  with  this  product.  
Prepare  the  screws  according  to  the  material, 
structure,  strength  and  other  factors  of  the 
mounting  area  and  the  total  weight  of  objects 
to be mounted.

  Make sure that the installed mount bracket can support more than 5 times of the weight of the 
camera.
When installing the camera on a wall or ceiling, two are two methods as specified below.
	 •	 Use 	 the 	 one-gang 	 junction 	 box
	 •	 Installing
	 the 	 camera 	 directly 	 on 	 a 	 wall 	 or 	 ceiling
	 •	 Using
	 the 	 optional 	 ceiling 	 mount 	 bracket 	 WV-Q174 	 (for 	 embedded 	 installation 	 on 	 a 	 ceiling)
Important:
	 •	 Procure	 2 	 screws 	 (M4) 	 to 	 secure 	 the 	 camera 	 to 	 a 	 wall 	 or 	 ceiling 	 according 	 to 	 the 	 material 	 of 	 the 	
installation area. Do not use wood screws and nails. For mounting a camera on a concrete wall 
or ceiling, use an anchor bolt (M4) for securing. 
    (Recommended tightening torque M4: 1.6 N·m{1.18 lbf·ft}) 
	 •	 Required
	 pull-out 	 strength 	 of 	 a 	 single 	 screw/bolt 	 is 	 196 	 N 	 {44.06 	 lbf} 	 or 	 more. 	
	 •	 If 	 a 	 ceiling 	 board 	 such 	 as 	 plaster 	 board 	 is 	 too 	 weak 	 to 	 support 	 the 	 total 	 weight, 	 the 	 installation 	
area shall be sufficiently reinforced. 
	 •	 The
	 protection 	 sheet 	 attached 	 to 	 the 	 dome 	 section 	 should 	 be 	 peeled 	 off 	 after 	 installation. 	
The mounting conditions of the camera are described as follows:
 Remove the dome cover
1   Peel 	 off 	 the 	 protection 	 sheet 	 from 	 the 	 dome 	
cover. Don't remove completely as this pro-
tects the dome during installation. 
2 Loosen the dome cover fixing screw.
3 Adjust the mark on this unit to [|] on the 
dome cover, and turn the dome cover 
counterclockwise to remove it.

NOTE:
	 •	 The 	 clear 	 dome 	 cover 	 and 	 the 	 inner 	 dome 	
are joined into a single unit.  
Therefore,
	 never 	 try 	 to 	 remove 	 them.

 About the side cable access hole 
If  you  choose  not  to  drill  hole  in  the  wall  or  
ceiling,  but  to  wire  the  camera  with  the  cable 
exposed, cut the cable access hole on the side 
of the dome cover to provide a cable entry.  
Precautions when wiring from the side:  
•	 Remove	the	dust	guard	cap.	Run	the	cable	
through  the  cable  access  hole  and  bend  it 
inward, then reinstall the dust guard cap. 
•	 Move	the	cable	to	one	side	as	shown.	
•	 Be	careful	not	to	pinch	the	cable	with	the	
dome cover.
 Installation method of camera 
Using a gang junction box  
(locally procured) 
When using a gang junction box (4 inches x  
2-3/8 inches), procure one locally that meets 
the dimensions in the figure.
Next locally procure 2 camera-mounting screws 
suitable for the installation surface and structure 
of the wall/ceiling or gang junction box.
1 Attach  the  gang  junction  box  to  the  wall  or  
ceiling. 
2 Attach the camera to the gang junction box 
with the 2 screws (locally procured). 
3 Tighten all mounting screws.

Installing the camera directly on a wall or ceiling
Affix the installation template label (accessory) to the ceiling or wall, and use a pen to mark the posi- 
tions of the screws and cable mounting hole in the ceiling or wall. 
Remove the installation template label, and attach the camera with 2 screws (M4, locally procured).

Important: 
 •	 Be	sure	to	turn	off	the	power	of	each	
device before connecting. 
	 •	 Be	sure	to	secure	the	coaxial	cable	 
connectors.
Connect a coaxial cable to the video output  
connector. 
Connect the power supply
Connect  the  two-color  conductor  cable  of  the 
camera  to  the  power  supply.  The  colors  and 
functions of the conductors are shown below.

							16
Important: 
	 •	 The	power	supply	of	24	V	AC/12	V	DC	shall	be	insulated	against	120	V	AC. 
	 •	 The	power	supply	is	automatically	switchover	either	24	V	AC	or	12	V	DC.	No	setting	is	required	
with this camera. 
Cable length and wire gauge 
24 V AC  
The  recommended  cable  length  and  wire  gauge  are  shown  in  the  table  for  reference.  The  voltage  
supplied to the power terminals of the camera should be within 19.5 V AC and 28 V AC.
The	recommended	wire	size	for	24	V	AC	power	cord	is	shown	below: 
12 V DC 
Calculation of the relation among the cable length, resistance, and power supply. 
The voltage supplied to the camera shall be between 10.8 V DC and 16 V DC. 
10.8 V DC ≤ VA - 2 (R x I x L) ≤ 16 V DC

Installation of camera 
Turn off the power of all related devices before installation.  
1  Remove the camera dome cover.
2 Connect all cables. 
   If necessary, bind the cable with cable tie (locally procured). 
3 Install the camera (The illustration below shows installation using a gang junction box (locally 
procured) ).
   Mount the camera with 2 screws (M4, locally procured). 
Important: 
•	 Be	sure	to	avoid	twisting	the	cables	when	tightening	the	screws.
Note:
•		 When	attached	to	the	ceiling:
Install the camera with its front (Model number indication face) facing the direction opposite to  
the “ TOP”	arrow	of	the	installation	mark	(“FRONT” direction of the installation template label 
in the accessories).
•	 When	attached	to	the	wall: 
   Install the camera with the “	TOP”	arrow	of	the	installation	mark	facing	upward.

monitor.
2 Pan, tilt and azimuth adjustment 
Important: 
•	 When	adjusting	pan,	tilt	or	azimuth,	do	not	hold	the	lens	of	the	camera.
1	 Adjustment of panning position
Loosen  the  panning  table  lock  screw  and  
rotate  the  table  to  determine  the  panning  
position (adjustable range: 350°).
•	 T h e	p a n n i n g	p o s i t i o n	c a n	b e	a d j u s t e d

3	Zoom	and	focus	adjustment	
Perform the zoom and focus adjustments at the same time as pan and tilt adjustments (Step 2). 
Note:
	•	 If the camera is used in near-horizontal position, the shadow of the dome cover may appear in  
the image. 
1  Loosen  the  zoom  knob  and  focus  knob.  Select  photographic  subject  and  choose  proper  view 
angle through zooming. Adjust the zoom and focus rings to make the image clear (approximate  
adjustment). 
Note:
	•  The  focus  may  not  be  adjusted  smoothly  when  the  zoom  ring  is  extremely  close  to  the  end  of  
W  direction  (T  direction).  At  this  time,  slightly  adjust  the  zoom  ring  towards  the  T  direction  (W  
direction), and then adjust the focus. 
2 Tighten the zoom knob.
3 Press the [SET] button. 
→ The “FOCUS ADJUSTMENT” screen will appear.
The focus assist function will be activated to perform the optimum adjustment. 
4  When the focus ring is positioned near the best focus position, the position will automatically be  
memorized as the "PEAK HOLD" position (the higher the value is, the closer it is to the focus point).
5 When the focus ring is moved, the current focus position will be indicated on "INDICATOR". 
Adjust the focus position so that the indicator value goes close to the "PEAK HOLD" position. 
6 When	the	indicator	value	goes	to	the	best	focus	position,	"BEST	FOCUS"	will	be	displayed	in	reverse	at	 
the lower right corner of the screen. 
7 Press the [SET] button again to close the "FOCUS ADJUSTMENT" menu. (No operation for 3 
minutes also closes the menu.)
8 Tighten the focus knob.
Important:	
•		If	the	view	angle	changes	during	adjustment,	press	the	[SET]  button  to  close  the  “FOCUS 
ADJUSTMENT”  screen  (once  the  view  angle  changes,  the  “PEAKHOLD”  and  “INDICATOR”  
values will also change), and repeat from step 4 after the view angle is fixed. 
•		When  shooting  in  the  following  place  or  following  subjects,  press  the  [SET]  button  again  to  close 
the “FOCUS ADJUSTMENT” screen, or adjust to the best focus position while viewing the image.
