for mounting the camera
• Video and power extension cable
• HD-TVI video setup monitor (optional)
Installation
Before installation:
• Check the specication of the products for the installation environment.
• Make sure that the wall or the ceiling is strong enough to withstand 3 times the weight of the camera.
• To avoid re or shock hazard, use only UL listed power supplies. Verify that the power supply will
provide the rated voltage and wattage for the camera. See the Specications section.
During installation:
• Camera Lens: Handle the camera carefully to prevent scratching or soiling the lens. If the lens or IR
array shield becomes soiled, clean it only with approved products. See the Cleaning section.
• Camera drop cable: The camera drop cable includes two connectors:
—HD-TVI Video BNC connector: For transmission of the HD-TVI signal across a coax (75 )
extension cable.
—Power connector: When applying Vdc power, observe the power polarity. See the picture
above for the connector polarity conguration.
1. Using the drill template provided with your camera, mark the location of the screws that anchor the
base plate to the mounting surface. If you are routing the drop cable through base, also mark the
position of the hole for the drop cable.
2. Drill holes for the screws that anchor the base to the ceiling. The mounting hardware provided is
appropriate for most surfaces. However, depending on the surface materials, more appropriate
fasteners may be required.
3. Drill a 5/8” hole for the drop cable, if necessary. The drop cable can be routed through the mounting
surface, or through a cable channel in the mounting plate.
4. Route video and power extension cables from the camera to the video recorder and power source. If
using a video and power combo-cable, make sure the end with the male power plug is toward the
camera.
5. Separate the mounting plate from the camera assembly:
a. Hold the mounting plate, and then turn
the locking bezel counter clockwise
about 1/8 turn as shown in the picture
below.
b. Lift o the locking bezel, and then
unclip and remove the housing.
c. Remove the camera module.

• 1280 x 720 (720p @ 30 fps) HD video for sharp, detailed images
• 2.8 mm wide angle lens (ALI-CD1720G only) captures images over large areas
• Built-in 24 LEDs enables the camera to see up to 65 ft in the dark
• Smart IR technology reduces over-exposure of the IR LEDs at the center of the image
• True day/night (ICR) captures sharp, clear images in low light and at night
• -40°F ~ 140°F extreme temperature operating range
• IP66 weather-rated ABS housing

6. Anchor the mounting base to the ceiling with appropriate fasteners. If the camera drop cable will be
routed through a cable channel, make sure the cable is in place before securing the mounting plate
to the surface.

7. Connect the camera drop cable to video and power extension cables.
8. Reattach the camera to the mounting plate:
a. Route the camera drop cable through the hole in the mounting surface, if necessary, and then
set the camera module in place on the mounting plate.

b. Place the housing over the camera.
Clips on the mounting plate will hold
the housing and camera in place.
c. Place locking bezel over the housing,
and onto the mounting plate. Align
the tabs inside the locking bezel with
the slots in the mounting plate, and
then turn the locking bezel about 1/8th
turn clockwise to lock it in secure it to
the plate.

9. Connect the far end of the video extension cable to a monitoring device, such as a HD-TVI
compatible setup monitor or HD-TVI DVR.
10. Connect the far end of the power extension cable to a power supply, then apply power to the
camera through the power extension cable. Observe the voltage polarity shown in the drop cable
photo on page 1.
11. Rotate the camera module, if necessary, so that the light sensor is at the bottom of the IR array.
12. While observing video from the camera on a monitor, aim the camera at your surveillance target.
See the gure below for adjustment ranges.
Cleaning
Clean the camera glass with an approved glass cleaning solution and a lint free cloth.
• Dust can be removed from the unit by wiping it with a soft damp cloth. To remove stains, gently rub
the surface with a soft cloth moistened with a mild detergent solution, then rinse and dry it with a
soft cloth.
• Remove all foreign particles, such as plastic or rubber materials, attached to the camera housing.
These may cause damage to the surface over time.
CAUTION
Do not use benzene, thinner or other chemical products on the camera assembly; these may
dissolve the paint and promote damage of the surfaces. Before using any chemical product,
carefully follow the accompanying instructions.
Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Cause
Nothing appears on the screen - Check the power connection.
- Check the video signal cable connection to the monitor.
The video image is dim or not clear. - If the camera lens is dirty, clean it with a soft, clean cloth.
- Adjust the monitor controls, if necessary.
- If the camera is facing a very strong light, change the camera position.
The screen is dark. - Adjust the contrast control of the monitor.
- Set the monitor impedance properly for the DVR (usually 75  /Hi-Z),
and check the cable connections.
The camera is not working properly and the
surface of the camera is hot.
- Verify that the camera is correctly connected to an appropriate regulated
power source.
The image on the monitor ickers - Make sure that the camera isn’t facing direct sunlight or uorescent light.
If necessary,change the camera position.
