Avaya Video Camera 100 Installation Guide 4
Welcome to Avaya Video Communications Systems
Avaya high definition video communications systems enable anyone with dispersed
colleagues and operations to collaborate more clearly and effectively. Each system is
designed to make video communication a highly productive, simple, and reliable experience.
This guide explains how to install Avaya Video Camera 100 for use with an Avaya video
communications system. Related documentation is available from the documentation CD
included in the product box and from support.avaya.com.
Installation Overview
Avaya Video Camera 100 is a fixed focus camera that includes microphones for audio input
during calls. Installing Avaya Video Camera 100 includes the following tasks:
1. Attach the camera to a mount.
2. Remove the lens cap.
3. Connect the camera to the codec.
4. Adjust the camera position, if necessary.
5. Select the device you wish to use as the active microphone for audio input during calls.

5Avaya Video Camera 100 Installation Guide
Installation Prerequisites
Before installing Avaya Video Camera 100, complete the following tasks:
• Select a mounting option for the camera:
- desktop mount—a movable mount for positioning the camera on a desk or table.
- display mount—a fixed mount for positioning the camera on top of a display
connected to your Avaya video communications system. The mount attaches to the
display with an adhesive tape located under the base of the mount. The adhesive
requires 72 hours to achieve full bond strength at room temperature. Plan your
installation to allow time for the adhesive to bond securely to the display.
The adhesive tape is intended for a single use and permanent application. Avaya
recommends that you determine the optimal area for placing the camera by
removing the lens cap and connecting it to the codec as described in this document
before attaching the mount to the display. For information about techniques that you
may consider for removing the adhesive tape and cleaning the adhesive residue
from the display surface, contact the 3M company to obtain product documentation
for 3M VHB tapes. To obtain a replacement display mount, contact your Avaya
reseller.
WARNING: Use the desktop and display mounts on a horizontal surface only. Using
either mount on a vertical surface or on a surface with a slope greater than 10 degrees
may cause the camera to detach from the mount resulting in damage to the camera.
- tripod socket—a 1/4-20 UNC threaded socket for connecting the camera to a
tripod. Refer to “Using the Tripod Socket” on page 9.
Note: Avaya Video Camera 100 does not include a tripod.
• If you intend to use the camera as the active microphone for audio input during calls,
follow these guidelines to optimize camera placement:
-Avoid placing the camera less than .5 meters (1.64 feet) away from the front of the
speakers connected to your Avaya video communications system.
-Avoid placing devices that generate noise (such as fans or personal computers)
between video conference participants and the camera.
-The camera microphones attenuate sound directed at the back of the camera. Place
the camera in a location that ensures video conference participants speak in front of
the camera from a distance greater than .5 meters but less than 2.5 meters (8.2
feet).

1. Attaching the Camera to a Mount
Follow the instructions in this section to attach the camera to a mount.
Attaching the Desktop Mount
To attach the camera to the desktop mount, slide the pivot collar on the camera over the
pivot on the mount.
Attaching the Display Mount
To attach the camera to the display mount, follow these steps:
1. Ensure that the temperature in the room in which the display is located is at least 60°F
(15°C). The ideal temperature range for applying the adhesive tape on the mount is
70°F to 100°F (21°C to 38°C).
WARNING: At temperatures below 60°F (15°C), the adhesive may fail to adhere readily
to the display.

2. Ensure that the area on top of the display where you intend to attach the mount meets
the following conditions:
-horizontal
-clean (free of dirt, dust, oil, and other residues)
-dry and free of condensed moisture
3. Remove the red film from the adhesive under the display mount.
4. Press the mount firmly into place on top of the display.
5. Allow the adhesive to bond to the display. At room temperature, the bond formed by the
adhesive reaches full strength after 72 hours.
WARNING: Ensure that the mount is securely attached to the display before proceeding
with the installation. An insecure mount can fail resulting in damage to the camera.
6. Attach the camera to the display mount by sliding the pivot collar on the camera over the
pivot on the mount.

2. Removing the Lens Cap
Remove the lens cap from the camera.
Removing the lens cap also exposes the status LED and the infrared (IR) sensor.
The IR sensor detects signals from the Avaya remote control up to eight meters (26 feet)
away when you use the remote control within two meters (6.5 feet) to the left or right of the
front of Avaya Video Camera 100. If you use the remote control directly in front of Avaya
Video Camera 100, the IR sensor detects the signal up to 14 meters (45 feet) away.

are not supported with this camera.

Avaya Video Camera 100 Installation Guide 14
5. Controlling the Camera Microphones
You can use Avaya Video Camera 100 as both the video and audio input for your Avaya
video communications system. If you do not have an Avaya Video Conference Phone 1000
or Avaya Video MicPod 1000 connected to your Avaya video communications system in
addition to Avaya Video Camera 100, and you use the default system settings, the system
uses Avaya Video Camera 100 as the active microphone.
If Avaya Video Camera 100 is one of several audio input devices connected to your system,
and you want Avaya Video Camera 100 to be the active microphone, you must explicitly set
the active microphone preference at Administrator Preferences : Audio : Active
Microphone. For more information on selecting the active microphone, refer to the Avaya
Video Communications Systems Administrator Guide.
Navigate to the System Information page on your Avaya system to verify which audio input
device is the active microphone. When the active microphone status is None, the No Active
Microphone indicator appears in the status bar indicating that no active microphone is
available.
To control the volume of the active microphone, adjust the Active Microphone Volume
preference in User Preferences or Administrator Preferences : Audio.
To mute or unmute the camera microphones during a call, press the mute button on the
Avaya remote control. A mute icon appears in the user interface. If an Avaya Video
Conference Phone 1000 or Avaya Video MicPod 1000 is connected to the system, you can
also mute the microphones on the camera by pressing the mute button on either of these
devices.
Troubleshooting
The following sections describe symptoms, possible causes, and potential solutions for
common problems you may encounter when installing Avaya Video Camera 100.
No Video
If no video appears in the display from the camera:
• Ensure that the camera cable is securely connected to the camera and to the
appropriate camera input on the codec and that nothing is obstructing the cable.
• Verify that the blue LED on the front of the camera is lit, indicating that the camera is
receiving power. Reboot the Avaya system if necessary to verify that the camera
receives power.

15 Avaya Video Camera 100 Installation Guide
• Navigate to the System Information page and locate the HD Camera 1 and Type fields
for the cameras. Ensure that the status of each connected camera is Ready and that
Fixed + Microphone appears as the type for the Avaya Video Camera 100 connected to
the system.
• Ensure that the primary input for your Avaya system is set to the high definition camera.
• Ensure that cable connections from the display to the codec are correct and secure and
that the display is receiving power.
Distorted or Dark Video
If video appears blurred or dark:
• Ensure that the camera lens is clean. Use a dry, soft, lint-free cloth to clean the camera
lens.
• Adjust the room lighting, or navigate to User Preferences : Diagnostics : High
Definition Camera and adjust the HD Camera Brightness preference.
Distorted Audio Received at Far End
If you are using the camera as the active microphone for audio input during calls and far end
participants report distorted audio, ensure that the camera is placed more than .5 meters
away from the front of the speakers attached to the Avaya system. Refer to “Installation
Prerequisites” on page 5 for information about camera placement.
