x Determine the direction of the mount bracket according to the installation environment (how the 
cables are wired, etc.) before mounting it to a ceiling or a wall by fixing 4 screws (locally pro-
cured).
  The direction of the camera in relation to the mount bracket is the 4 directions as shown in the 
illustration.
IMPORTANT:
	• 	 	For	 mounting	 a	 camera	 on	 a	 concrete	 surface,	 use	 an	
anchor bolt (M4) or an AY plug bolt (M4) for installing.
  
(Recommended tightening torque M4: 1.6  N·m {1.18 lbf·ft})
Note:
	• 	 	The	 camera's	 direction	 is	 determined	 by	 the	 direction	 of	
the camera attachment (accessory) mounted to the 
mount bracket c.

Open the camera access hole on the ceiling or wall as shown in the illus\
tration. Align the cable hole 
of the mount bracket (accessory) to the hole, and mount the bracket to hole  A or hole B on the 
ceiling or wall.

c  In the direction determined in  x, fix the camera attachment (accessory) on the mount bracket 
using the fixing screws (accessory).
   (Recommended tightening torque: 0.78 N·m {0.58 lbf·ft})
Note:
	•		The	direction	of	“gTOP” on the camera attachment (accessory) determines the upwards 
direction of the image on the PC monitor.
	•		For	ceiling	mounting:  Determine the direction that you want images to be displayed upwards on the PC monitor, 
and then mount the camera attachment (accessory) with “ gTOP” facing this direction.
	•		For	wall	mounting:  The camera attachment (accessory) shall be mounted with “gTOP” facing upward.
IMPORTANT:
	• 			For	 installations	 on	 the	 wall,	 to	 prevent	 water	 from	 accumulating	 on	 the	 surface	 of	 the	
dehumidifying device (
☞ page 12), do not connect it at the upper side. If water remains 
inside, the dehumidifying device cannot function properly.
v   Pass the cables through the hole for cable running from the ceiling or wall, and then pass the 
cables between the camera attachment (accessory) and mount bracket to \
the outside.

IMPORTANT:
	 •	 When	inserting	an	SD	memory	card,	make	sure	the	direction.
	 •	 Before	 removing	 the	 SD	 memory	 card,	 select	 “Not	 use”	 for	 “SD	 memory	 card”	 on	 the	  
[SD memory card] tab of the “Basic” page first. Turn off the power after “Not use” selection, 
and then unload the SD memory card. When the SD memory card is inserted or removed with 
the power on, data in the SD memory card may be damaged. (
☞  Operating Instructions 
(included in the CD-ROM))
z  Loosen the SD memory card slot cover fixing screw  using the bit for tamperproof screw (accessory), then 
open the SD memory card slot cover.
x  Insert an SD memory card fully into the SD memory card 
slot until a 
click is heard.
c  Close the SD memory card slot cover, and tighten the SD 
memory card slot fixing screw to secure the cover. 
(Recommended tightening torque: 0.78 N·m {0.58 lbf·ft})
IMPORTANT:
	• 			Ensure	that	the	SD	memory	card	slot	cover's	fixing	
screw is firmly secured. 
Failure to observe this may cause water leakage or 
malfunction.
v  When removing the SD memory card, push in 
the SD memory card until a click is heard after 
executing step 1, then pull it out from the SD 
memory card slot. After removing the SD mem-
ory card, close the SD memory card slot cover, 
and tighten the SD memory card slot cover fix-
ing screw to secure the cover.

•	Supply	voltage:	 2.5	V	±0.5	V
•	Recommended	sensitivity	  of microphone:  −48 dB ±3 dB (0 dB=1 V/Pa,1 kHz)
IMPORTANT:
	•		
Connect/disconnect the external speaker cables or audio cables after turning off the power of 
the camera and the amplifier. Otherwise, loud noise may come out from the speaker. 
x   Connect an external amplifier-embedded speaker to the audio output cable.
   Connect a stereo mini plug (ø3.5 mm) (Audio output is monaural.). 
	 •	 Recommended	cable	length:	10	m	{33	feet}	or	less

IMPORTANT:
	•		Input	 and	 output	 of	 the	 External	 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 External 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 of the 
“Alarm” page. Refer to the Operating Instructions on the provided CD-ROM for further 
information. 
	•		When	 using	 the	 External	 I/O	 terminals	 as	 the	 output	 terminals,	 ensure	 they	 do	 not	 cause	 signal collision with external signals.
	•		In	 order	 for	 the	 External	 I/O	 terminal	 to	 detect	 alarm	 inputs	 when	 the	 terminal	 status	 is	 changed from Open to Close (On) or from Close to Open (Off), about 100 ms or more is 
needed. Because alarms cannot be detected for about 5 seconds after a de\
tection is 
made, alarm inputs received within about 5 seconds after an alarm is detected are not 
detected.
v  Connect a LAN cable (category 5 or better, straight, STP*) to the network connector.
   * E model only 
b  Connect the power cable. 
IMPORTANT: 
	•		The	12	V	DC	power	supply	shall	be	insulated	from	the	commercial	AC	power.
•  When using 12 V DC power supply*
1
  Connect the output cable of the AC adaptor to the 2P power cable (acces\
sory).
•  When using PoE (IEEE802.3af compliant) Connect a LAN cable (category 5 or better, straight, STP*
2) between a PoE device (such as 
a hub) and the network connector of the camera. 
*1  ONLY CONNECT 12 V DC CLASS 2 POWER SUPPLY or LIMITED POWER SOURCE.
*2  E model only
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 possibl\
e. In this case, 
disable the PoE device setting, and refer to the operating instructions of the PoE device in 
use.
	•		When	 the	 LAN	 cable	 is	 disconnected	 once,	 reconnect	 the	 cable	 after	 about	 2	 seconds.	 When the cable is quickly reconnected, the power may not be supplied from the PoE 
device.

Waterproof treatment for the cable joint sections
Adequate waterproof treatment is required for the cables when installing the camera with cables 
exposed or installing it under the eaves. The camera body is waterproof, but the cable ends are not 
waterproof.
Be sure to use the supplied waterproof tape at the points where the cables are connected to apply 
waterproof treatment in the following procedure. Failure to observe this or use of a tape other than 
the provided waterproof tape (such as a vinyl tape) may cause water leakage resulting in malfunc-
tion.

Alarm input/output cable, power cable, microphone/line input cable, audio output  
cableIMPORTANT: 
	 •	 Waterproof	 treatment	 is	 also	 to	 be	 applied	 to	 the	 2P	 power	 cable	 (accessory),	 the	 4P	 alarm	 cable (accessory) and other connection cables if they are subject to rain.
Note:  How to wind the supplied waterproof tape
	 •	 Stretch	 the	 tape	 by	 approx.	 twice	 (see	 the	 illustration)	 and	 wind	 it	 around	 the	 cable.	 Insufficient	 tape	 stretch	causes insufficient waterproofing.
	 •	 Make	 sure	 to	 wind	 the	 tape	 so	 that	 it	 does	 not	 press	 down	on	the	hook	of	the	network	cable.
	 • 	 To 	 install	 this	 product	 outdoors,	 be	 sure	 to	 waterproof	 the	 cables.	
Waterproof	grade	(IEC	IP66	or	equivalent)	is	applied	to	this	product	 only	 when	 it	 is	 installed	 correctly	 as	 described	 in	 these	 operating	instructions	 and	 appropriate	 waterproof	 treatment	 is	 applied.	 The	
mount	brackets	are 	not	waterproofed.

	 •	 Use	a	switching	hub	or	a	router	which	is	compliant	with	10BASE-T/100BASE-TX.
	 •	 When	connecting	WV-SW458M	cameras,	use	a	PoE	hub	with	M12	connectors.
	 •	 If	a	PoE	device	(hub)	is	not	used,	each	network	camera	must	be	connected	to	a	power	supply.
	 •	 The	camera	is	to	be	connected	only	to	PoE	networks	without	routing	to	the	outside	plant	when	 using PoE.
