2. Mounting the Dome Camera on page 5
3. Connecting Cables on page 7
4. Assigning an IP Address on page 8
5. Accessing the Live Video Stream on page 9
6. Aiming the Dome Camera on page 9
7. Installing the Dome Cover on page 9
8. Focusing the Dome Camera on page 10
Removing the Dome Cover
Remove the dome cover by loosening the tamper-proof screws that fix
the cover to the base. The tamper resistant key included with the
dome camera can be used to loosen the screws.
NOTE: Be careful not to scratch the dome bubble.

English
Mounting the Dome Camera
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, wrap the thread of the mounting
bracket with the supplied Teflon sealing tape to create a
water tight seal around the camera connection.
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.
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.

English
2. Remove the camera module from the pendant mount by
loosening the 2 side screws holding it in place.
3. Screw the pendant mount onto the wall or ceiling mounting
bracket until tight, then pull the cables through the
mounting bracket and pendant mount.

7
English
4. Install the camera module back inside the pendant mount
by tightening the 2 side screws.
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 there are external input or output devices that need to be
connected to the camera (for example: door contacts,
relays, etc), connect the devices to the camera I/O
Terminals.
For more information, see Connecting to External Devices.
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.
For more information, see Connecting to Microphones and
Video Monitors.

8
English
3. Connect the Ethernet Port (RJ45 connector) to a network
using an Ethernet network cable. The Link LED will turn on
once a network link has been established.
4. Connect power using one of the following methods:
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) Class 3 — If PoE is
available, the camera is automatically detected
when the network cable is connected.
• External Power — Connect an external 12 VDC or
24 VAC power source to the power connector block.
For more information, see Connecting Power.
5. Check that the Connection Status LED indicates the
correct state.
For more information, see LED Indicators.
Assigning an IP Address
The camera automatically obtains an IP address by default. Once
connected to a network, it attempts to locate and obtain an IP address
from a DHCP server. If this fails, Zero Configuration Networking
(Zeroconf) is used to choose an IP address. When the IP address is
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:
• Avigilon Camera Installation Tool software application.
• Camera's web browser interface:
http://<camera IP address>/
• ARP/Ping method. For more information, see Setting the
IP Address through the ARP/Ping Method.
• Network Video Management software application (for
example, Avigilon Control Center).
NOTE: The default camera username is admin and the default
password is admin.

9
English
Accessing the Live Video Stream
Live video stream can be viewed using one of the following methods:
• Avigilon Camera Installation Tool software application.
• Camera's web browser interface:
http://<camera IP address>/.
• Network Video Management software application (for
example, Avigilon Control Center).
NOTE: The default camera username is admin and the default
password is admin.
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 Avigilon Camera Installation Tool, adjust the
camera’s Image and Display settings to achieve the
desired zoom position.
Installing the Dome Cover
To install the dome cover, complete the following steps:
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 3
tamper-proof screws. Use the tamper resistant key
included in the dome camera package to tighten the
screws. Be careful not to scratch the dome bubble.

10
English
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.
• In the Avigilon Camera Installation Tool, 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.
For More Information
Additional information about setting up and using the device is
available in the following guides:
•Avigilon Camera Installation Tool User Guide
• Avigilon Control Center Client User Guide
• Avigilon High Definition H.264 Web Interface User Guide
The manuals are available on the Avigilon website: http://avigilon.com/

Caution — Do not attempt to adjust the focus and zoom on
the camera manually or the camera lens may become
damaged.

Cable Connections
Connecting External Power
NOTE: Do not perform this procedure if Power over Ethernet (POE) is
used.
If PoE is not available, the dome camera 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
