Important
• Verify the bearing capacity of the mounted position
• Verify that the mounted position meets the bearing re-
quirements. Otherwise, you are advised to reinforce the
mounted position for the device weight. For more infor-
mation, see the product datasheet.
• Verify lightning protection and grounding requirements
• Select proper lightning protection devices for the power
supply, video signal interfaces, and RS485 interfaces.
• Ground the terminal properly.
Cable Requirements
Network cable
10/100 Mbps Ethernet CAT 5/5E UTP cables are applicable to
the ANSI/EIA/TIA-568A/B and ISO/D. Eight wires in the net-
work cable need to be inserted in parallel into the top of the
cable connector. The cable connector needs to be crimped in
position. When the cable connector is in position, ensure that
the metal pieces of the cable connector are parallel to each
other and the clamp of the cable connector is intact.
SDI Signal Cable
In order to ensure the quality of the installation of the project,
the HD-SDI and 3G-SDI signals have a high data transmission
rate of digital signals, it is necessary to correctly select the
appropriate cable model. In the process of installing a cable,
it should be carefully and carefully, to avoid incorrect to fold,
twist, bend the cable or to apply various kinds of stress to the
cable, so that the signal can be transmitted along the cable
smoothly. Different cable types have different physical char-
acteristics, and the transmission length of the digital signal is
not the same.
Power Input
BirdDog PTZ camera provides 24VAC power input.
Power Cable
Data listed in the below table is applicable to copper cables
that use 24 VAC/24 VDC power supply. The item Core Diam-
eter indicates the conductor diameter.
Power Loss on the Cable for Different Lengths and Differ-
ent Core Diameters
! NOTE: Power supply requirement is 24VAC 2.5 Amp to
ensure proper functionality of PT motor and LED illumina-
tion. Using power supply lower than 24VAC 2.5Amp will
cause camera crashing or insatiability.
Power Connector: Phoenix Connector Description
1. The anode and the cathode are not distinguished for
phoenix connectors of red and black cables.
2. GND: yellow-green color.
Note: GND is used to ground the camera. Ensure that GND
is connected to a reliable grounding point.

PoE Power Injector
Other than 24VAC power input, BirdDog PTZ camera pro-
vides PoE power as an optional power input.
For PoE power, you must use BirdDog 80W Power PoE In-
jector: model BL-PP80. It provides high PoE power up to the
PTZ camera. Connect this PoE injector to a network switch
and then run Ethernet cable for data transmission and power
up the PoE PTZ camera (Specic model: A200 & A300) for
distance up to 100 meters.
NOTE!
• Disconnect the power from the camera before
mounting.
• Accessories such as the wall mount bracket and the
pendant mount bracket may be necessary during
mounting. For their model, refer to the accessory list
recommended by your dealer.
