1Preparation
Basic Requirement
All the electronic operation should be strictly compliance with the electrical safety
regulations, fire prevention regulations and other related regulations in your local
region.
Check the package contents and make sure that the device in the package is in
good condition and all the assembly parts areincluded.
Use the system according to the working environment requirement.
Check Installing Environment
Be sure that there is enough space to install the Turret Camera and accessories.
Make sure that the wall is strong enough to withstand at least 8 times the weight
of the system and themount.
Prepare Cables
According to the actual network bandwidth, the Cat5 (in 100M) or Cat6 (100M
above) isneeded.
⚫When the Turret Camera uses standard 12V DC power supply, the power cable
should be American wire gauge 18 or above. The formula of the cross-section S
(mm²) and the maximum transmission distance L (m) of the bare wire is L=50*S.
⚫Choose the video cable according to the transmission length. The video should
meet the least demands as: 75Ω resistance; 100% copper core conducting wire;
95% weaving coppershield.
Prepare Tools
Before installation, please prepare the tools needed, such as the expansion screws,
electric hammer, electric drill, wrench, screwdriver, electroprobe and network
cable.
Original Packaging
When you unpack the Turret Camera, please keep the original package properly, in
case of returning or repairing the Turret Camera, you can pack the Turret Camera
with the package.
Note: The user should be responsible for any damage caused when transporting
with unoriginal package.
