Camera mounting
The camera is mounted on the camera mount bracket (locally procured) and the safety wire is 
secured. 
IMPORTANT:
  •  The installation area shall be strong enough to hold the camera and camera mount bracket. 
  •  The camera mount bracket (locally procured) shall be mounted on the foundation part of the 
construction or a part with adequate strength. 
  •  To prevent the mounting strength from becoming lower, do not use wooden screws to secure 
the camera mount bracket (locally procured). 
 
z  Secure the camera mount bracket (locally procured) to an installation position, and mount the 
camera on the camera mount bracket. 
    Prepare mounting screws according to the material of the area where the camera mount brack-
et is to be installed. The installation method may be different depending on the material of the 
area where the bracket is to be installed.

Before start the connection, prepare the required devices and cables.
z  Connect the RCA pin cable to the monitor 
output connector for adjustment on the 
rear (only for adjustment of the angle field 
of view).
   
IMPORTANT:
  •  The monitor output connector is provided only for checking the adjustment the angle 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, bottom, right and left of the screen. (There is no problem 
with adjustment since the angle field of view is not affected.)
  •  The video output on the monitor for adjustment does not guarantee the video performance or 
image quality.

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 EXT I/O terminal 2 and 3 can be switched by configuring the setting. Off is 
selected by default. It is possible to determine whether or not to receive input from EXT I/O terminal 2 
and 3 (ALARM IN2, 3) by selecting Off, Alarm input, Alarm output or AUX output for Terminal 
2 or Terminal 3 on the [Alarm] tab on the Alarm page. Refer to the Operating Instructions  (includ-
ed in the CD-ROM) for further information.
  •  Connect an external device with verifying that the ratings are within the specifications above.
  •  When using the EXT I/O terminals as the output terminals, ensure they do not cause signal collision 
with external signals.
 

  •  ALARM OUT, AUX OUT

IMPORTANT:
  •  The 12 V DC power supply shall be insulated from the commercial AC power.
  •  The operating sound might be heard when the power is turned on, however it does not indi-
cate any malfunction. 
When using 12 V DC power supply*
 q  Loosen the screw of the power cord plug (accessory).
 w  Connect the cable of the 12 V DC power supply* to the 
power cord plug. 
    Strip 3 mm to 7 mm {1/8 inches to 9/32 inches} from the 
end of the wire, and twist the stripped part of the wire 
sufficiently to avoid short circuit. 
Specification of cable (wire):  16 AWG - 24 AWG 
Single core, twisted
  •  Check whether the stripped part of the wire is not 
exposed and is securely connected.
 e  Tighten the screw of the power cord plug.
    (Recommended tightening torque:
     0.34 N·m {0.25 lbf·ft})
 r  Connect the power cord plug to the 12 V DC power sup-
ply terminal on the rear of the camera. 
  *  ONLY CONNECT 12 V DC CLASS 2 POWER SUPPLY 
(UL 1310/CSA 223) or LIMITED POWER SOURCE (IEC/
EN/UL/CSA 60950-1). 
IMPORTANT:
  •  Be sure to use the power cord plug provided with this product.
  •  Be sure to fully insert the power cord plug into the 12 V DC power supply terminal. Otherwise, 
it may damage the camera or cause malfunction.
  •  When installing the camera, make sure that excessive force is not applied to the power cable.
  •  Be sure to use an AC adaptor compliant with the Specifications regarding power source and 
power consumption (
☞ page 32).

When using PoE (IEEE802.3af compliant)
Connect a LAN cable (category 5 or better, straight, STP*) between a PoE device (such as a hub) 
and the network connector of the camera. 
* For Europe.
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 connecting both the 12 V DC power supply and the PoE device for power supply, 12 V 
DC will be used for power supply. Depending on the PoE device used, the power supply lamp 
may not light and the network connections may not be possible. In this case, disable the PoE 
device setting, and refer to the operating instructions of the PoE device in use.
  •  When disconnecting the LAN cable once, reconnect the cable after around 2 seconds. When 
the cable is quickly connected, the power may not be supplied from the PoE device.

IMPORTANT:
  •  The video monitor is used for checking the adjustment of the angular field of view when install-
ing the camera or when servicing. It is not provided for recording/ monitoring use.
  •  Use a switching hub or a router which is compliant with 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX.
  •  Power supply is required for each network camera. When using a PoE device (hub), 12 V DC 
power supply is unnecessary.
