NETWORK SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
A dedicated PC is recommended for receiving image
streams from cameras and for archiving and display.
Minimum recommended requirements for the PC are as
follows:
•CPU: Core 2 Duo 2Ghz
•RAM: 1GB
•Video Card: NVIDIA, 128MB RAM
•Network Card: 100 base-T (one card required for
camera stream, a second card required for
remote viewing)
A 100Mbps or better network switch or router is required
to connect the camera to the network. A regular hub does
not provide collision management and is not suitable for
multi-camera systems. Category 5 cabling or better is
recommended, and must be installed according to all
applicable codes and regulations.
The camera is capable of accepting a standard network
connection. However, the camera unit will still require a
dedicated 12-24V power input.
The cameras can be accessed and controlled by two main
methods: through the included viewing software and
through HTTP commands from a web browser, such as
Internet Explorer.

INITIAL PREPARATIONS
•Determine the operating voltage at the
installation site. The camera‘s Voltage Regulator
Board accepts 12-24V AC/DC input without
change to internal connections.
•Determine the optimum mounting location for the
camera. See Section 4, Camera Mounting.
•All cameras have been tested and pre-focused
with telephoto setting as factory default prior to
shipment. If any adjustment needed, it is
advisable to check the camera’s operation before
installation.
GUIDELINES
The installation of the EX85 is shown in Sections 1 to 13.
It is important that these steps are followed in numerical
order.

4. CAMERA MOUNTING
Warning: this apparatus must be securely attached
to the wall or ceiling in accordance with installation
instructions. Failure to follow installation instructions
ma results in injury/death.
Select a suitable location that protects the camera from
accidental damage, tampering and environmental
conditions exceeding the specifications of the camera to
be mounted.
Caution: Ensure the selected location is protected from
falling objects, accidental contact with moving objects and
unintentional interference from personnel. Follow all
applicable building codes.
The following installation guidelines must be
followed:
•Locate the bracket such that it cannot be
easily interfered with, either intentionally or
accidentally.
•Select a smooth, flat mounting surface to
ensure proper sealing. The surface must also be
capable of supporting the combined weight of the
camera and mounting hardware under all
expected conditions of vibration and temperature.
•Secure all cabling.
•Installation should only be performed by
skilled personnel

SETSCREWS

- 13 -
Use a Neutral Density filter or Infra-Red Pass filter to cover
the lens during focusing to simulate low light conditions on
scene for correct 24-hour focusing. For camera with vari-
focal lens, the camera should be focused with the lens iris
fully opened to simulate the worst possible depth of field.
Using a Neutral Density filter or Infra-Red Pass filter will
ensure the iris is fully open for correct setup and adjustment.
Note that statement above is applicable only for Day/Night
or IR version cameras.

6. LED ARRAY - POWER ADJUSTMENTS
If adjustment is needed, remove the rear cover for access
to the LRB. The EX85 needs to be powered-up while
making the LED power adjustments. Cover the photocell
to turn the LEDs “ON” (850nm LEDs will have a slight red
glow).
For photocell “On/Off” light-level adjustment, rotate VR2.
Clockwise is off and counter-clockwise is on.
LED Power and Photocell On/Off Adjustments
Adjust the LED power if they are too bright or too dim.
For IR power adjustment, rotate VR1. Clockwise is high
and counter-clockwise is low.
