Mounting the Camera
Camera mounting points are provided on both the top and bottom of the camera body. Use these mounting
points to mount the camera on a bracket, in an enclosure, or on a tripod. The mounting points have ¼”-20 UNC
threaded holes which allow them to accept standard photographic mounting bolts.
Consult the installation instructions provided with the bracket, enclosure or tripod for detailed mounting
instructions.
WARNING — Use only UL-listed mounting bracket suitable for the mounting surface and minimum 0.7 kg
(1.5 lb) weight.
Connecting Cables
Refer to the diagrams in the Overview section for the location of the different connectors.
Installation 4

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 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.
4. Connect a network cable to the Ethernet Port (RJ-45 connector).
The Link LED will turn on once a network link has been established.
5. Check that the Connection Status LED indicates the correct state. For more information, see LED
Indicators on page10.
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12
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.
Aiming and Focusing the Camera
Use the Avigilon Camera Installation Tool or camera web browser interface to aim and focus the camera. Consult
the software user guide for more information.
1. In the Image and Display settings dialog box, use the Zoom controls to achieve the desired zoom position
for the camera.
2. In the Image and Display settings page, use the Auto Focus button to focus the lens.If the desired focus
position was not achieved, use the focus near and far buttons to adjust the focus.
5Assigning an IP Address

WARNING — Do not attempt to adjust the focus and zoom on the camera itself or the camera lens may
become damaged.
(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.
For More Information
Additional information about setting up and using the device is available in the following guides:
lAvigilon™ Control Center Client User Guide

Cable Connections
Connecting External Power
NOTE: Do not perform this procedure if Power over Ethernet (POE) is used.
If PoE is not available, the device needs to be powered through the removable power connector block. Refer to
the diagrams in this guide for the location of the power connector block.
The device can be powered from 12VDC or 24VAC. The power consumption information is listed in the product
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, 6 W min. or PoE rated 48 VDC, 6
W min.
Connecting to External Devices
External devices are connected to the device through the I/O terminal. The pinout for the I/O terminal is shown in
the following diagram:
7Cable 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.
NOTE: The camera only supports line level mono audio input and an NTSC or PAL video output.
The video output signal is determined by the camera flicker control setting. When the camera flicker control is
set to 60 Hz, the video output signal is NTSC. When the flicker control is set to 50 Hz, the video output signal is
PAL. Use the Camera Installation Tool to configure the camera’s flicker control in the Image and Display setup.
