5Installation

Removing the Dome Cover
Remove the dome cover by loosening the screws that fix the cover to the base. The Torx key included with the
dome camera can be used to loosen the screws.
NOTE: Be careful not to scratch or touch the dome bubble. The resulting marks or fingerprints may affect the
overall image quality. Try not to touch the dome bubble and keep the protective cover on the bubble until after
the installation is complete.
Mounting and Aiming Video Analytics Cameras
If you are installing an Avigilon™ video analytics camera, follow the listed mounting and aiming recommendations
to maximize the camera's analytics capabilities:
lThe camera should be installed above 274 cm (9').
lThe camera should tilt downwards no more than 45 degrees.
lThe camera image should be level with the horizon line.
lThe camera should be mounted to a stable surface to minimize the physical movement of the camera
after installation.
For more details, see Designing a Site for Video Analytics. The document is available in the eDocs app and on
the Avigilon website.
Mounting the DomeCamera
CAUTION — The dome camera must be mounted as instructed below or problems with moisture may
arise and will not be covered by the dome camera warranty.
The dome camera must be mounted on a 1-1/2” NPT male threaded wall or ceiling mounting bracket. The
mounting bracket is not included in the camera package.
Perform the following steps to mount the dome camera to a ceiling or wall:
1. If installing outdoors, make sure the camera is sealed to prevent excessive moisture from entering the
dome.
lIf installing on a wall or overhang, use silicone sealant to seal the cable entry hole.
lIf installing with a pole mount adapter (MNT-AD-POLE-B), use silicone sealant to seal the cable
entry hole on the pole mount adapter.
lWrap the thread of the mounting bracket with the supplied Teflon sealing tape to create a water
tight seal around the camera connection.
Removing the Dome Cover 6

When applying the Teflon sealing tape, be sure to wrap in the same direction that the mount will be
tightened. This will ensure the tape does not unravel when installing the mating parts together.
2. Remove the camera module from the pendant mount by loosening the 2 side screws holding it in place.
7Mounting the DomeCamera

3. Screw the pendant mount onto the wall or ceiling mounting bracket until tight.
4. Apply a bead of silicone sealant between the mounting bracket and the top of the pendant mount.
Mounting the DomeCamera 8

5. Pull the cables through the mounting bracket and pendant mount.
6. Install the camera module back inside the pendant mount by tightening the 2 side screws.

9Mounting the DomeCamera

Connecting Cables
Refer to the diagrams in the Overview section for the location of the different connectors.
To connect the cables required for proper operation, complete the following:
1. If external input or output devices are part of the installation (for example: door contacts,relays, etc),
connect the devices to the I/O Terminals.
2. If an external microphone or external video monitor needs to be connected to the camera, connect the
devices to the camera Audio/Video Connector.
3. Connect a network cable to the camera’s Ethernet Port (RJ-45 connector).
oWrap the cable once around the interior base of the dome housing before you make the
connection. This will ensure the cable connector is not over-stressed and cause poor video
performance.
oThe Link LED will turn on once a network link has been established.
4. Connect power using one of the following methods:
oPower over Ethernet (PoE) Class 3 — If PoE is available, the LEDs will turn on.
oExternal Power — Connect an external 12 VDC or 24 VAC power source to the power connector
block.
5. Check that the Connection Status LED indicates the correct state. For more information, see LED
Indicators on page16.
Assigning an IP Address
The camera automatically obtains an IP address when it is connected to a network.
NOTE: If the camera cannot obtain an IP address from a DHCP server, it will use Zero Configuration Networking
(Zeroconf) to choose an IP address. When set using Zeroconf, the IP address is in the 169.254.0.0/16 subnet.
The IP address settings can be changed using one of the following methods:
lCamera's web browser interface: http://<camera IP address>/
lARP/Ping method. For more information, see Setting the IP Address Using the ARP/Ping Method on
page18
lNetwork Video Management software application (for example, Avigilon Control Center).
NOTE: The default camera username is admin and the default password is admin.
Accessing the Live VideoStream
Live video stream can be viewed using one of the following methods:
lWeb browser interface: http://<IP address>/
lNetwork Video Management software application (for example, the Avigilon Control Center software).
NOTE: The default camera username is admin and the default camera password is admin.
Connecting Cables 10

Aiming the Dome Camera
1. Loosen the pan and tilt lock screws on the camera.
2. Turn the lens to the desired direction by panning and tilting the lens.
3. Once satisfied, tighten the pan and tilt lock screws to secure the dome camera’s position.
4. Rotate the azimuth control ring to set the image to the correct angle.
5. In the Camera Installation Tool or camera web browser interface, adjust the camera’s Image and Display
settings. From either applications, you can set the desired zoom position, and change the image rotation.
(Optional) Configuring Onboard Storage
To use the camera’s onboard storage feature, you must insert an SD card into the SD card slot.
It is recommended that the SD card have a capacity of 8GB or more, and a write speed of class 6 or better. If the
SD card does not meet the recommended capacity or write speed, the performance of the onboard storage
may suffer and result in the loss of frames or footage.
1. Insert an SD card into the camera.
CAUTION — Do not force the SD card into the camera or you may damage the card and the
camera. The SD card can only be inserted in the orientation shown on the camera.
2. Access the camera’s web interface to enable the onboard storage feature. For more information, see the
Avigilon High Definition H.264 Camera Web Interface User Guide.
Installing the Dome Cover
1. Rotate the black shield located inside the dome bubble so that it does not block the camera’s field of
view.
2. Attach the dome cover to the base by tightening the screws with the provided Torx key.
3. Remove the plastic cover on the dome bubble.
Focusing the DomeCamera
NOTE: Ensure this procedure is performed after the dome cover is installed, so the focus shift caused by the
dome bubble’s refraction can be accomodated.
lIn the Camera Installation Tool or camera web browser interface, use the camera’s Image and Display
settings to focus the camera lens.
a. Click the Auto Focus button to focus the lens.
b. If the desired focus was not achieved, use the focus near and far buttons to adjust the focus.
CAUTION — Do not attempt to adjust the focus and zoom on the camera manually or the camera lens
may become damaged

specifications.
To connect power to the power connector block, complete the following steps:
1. Remove the power connector block from the device.
2. Remove the insulation from ¼” (6mm) of the power wires. Do not nick or damage the wires.
3. Insert the two power wires into the two terminals on the power connector block. The connection can be
made with either polarity.
Use a small slotted (5/64” or 2mm blade width) screwdriver to loosen and tighten the terminals.
4. Attach the power connector block back into the receptacle on the device.
WARNING — This product is intended to be supplied by a UL Listed Power Unit marked “Class 2” or
“LPS” or “Limited Power Source” with output rated 12VDC or 24VAC, 10W min. or PoE rated 48VDC,
10W min.
Connecting to External Devices

the following diagram:
13 Cable Connections

1. Ground
2. Input — To activate, connect the Input to the Ground pin. To deactivate, leave disconnected or apply
between 3-15 V.
3. Output — When active, Output is internally connected with the Ground pin. Circuit is open when inactive.
Maximum load is 25 VDC, 120 mA.
4. * — Relay
5. ** — Switch
Connecting to Microphones, Speakers and Video Monitors
The camera can be connected to an external microphone, speaker and video monitor through the audio/video
connector. The connector is a mini-jack (3.5 mm), and the pinout for it is shown in the following diagram.
