3 System overview
3.1 Product description
The FLEXIDOME multi 7000i IR camera is built for high-quality performance, featuring four
independent imagers with motorized zoom/focus lenses. It helps to simplify installation and
lower costs while maintaining flexibility in coverage. With four scenes simultaneously in a
single camera, it is perfect for wide area coverage, traffic intersections and building corners.
With its integrated 360⁰IR lighting, the camera can capture crisp images in extremely low light
conditions, such as at night-time or dusk. When the lenses are tilted at the right angle, the
camera can even cover an area up to full 360°. Additionally, the zoom capability allows the
camera to obtain detailed coverage for more distant areas.

Pre-requisites
– Remove the components from the box. Make sure that all parts are included and are not
damaged.
– The necessary material and equipment:
– 4 screws M4 or M5 and mounting plugs M4 or M5 are necessary. For installation with
conduit (NDA-7051-CA), 5 screws M4 or M5 and mounting plugs M4 or M5 are
necessary.
– Appropriate size power drill.
– Screwdriver and bit holder for TR20 bit, or use the provided TR20 Allen key.

4.4 Network and PoE++
i
Notice!
Camera supports PoE++ and PoE+
PoE802.3bt Type 3 Class 5 with operating temperature -50°C to +55°C / -58°F to +131°F)
PoE802.3at Type 2 Class 4 with operating temperature -20°C to +55°C / -4°F to +131°F)
Power-over-Ethernet Plus Plus (PoE++) can be connected at the same time as a 24VAC power
supply. If auxiliary power (24VAC) and PoE++ is applied simultaneously, the camera draws its
power from PoE++ by default, and seamlessly switches to auxiliary input if PoE++ fails.
When PoE++ returns, the camera seamlessly switches back to PoE++ as its default power
source.
The camera has an integrated heater. The heater works only when PoE802.3bt Type 3 Class 5
is used. In this case, the camera functions in lower temperature (-50°C / -58°F).
Cables
For cable requirements, refer to Wiring the camera base, page 22 .

Notice!
The plugs and screws for surface mounting are not supplied with the camera.
5.1.1 Installing the mounting plate without conduit
1. Remove the mounting plate from the box.
2. Position the mounting plate with the center hole on top of the cable exit on the surface,
and mark the positions of the screw holes on the surface.
For standard installation, use the mounting holes marked with a B on the mounting plate.
For a different installation, for example for an installation on an electrical box, use
different mounting holes. For more information, refer to Installing the mounting plate,
page 14 .
3. Use 4 screws that are suitable for the surface and the type of installation. If needed for
the surface, drill 4 holes to fit plugs. Make sure that the plugs fit tightly. Use the
appropriate diameter drill to support 5-6mm (0.2inch).
4. Put the cable through the center hole of the mounting plate.
5. Attach the mounting plate to the surface with 4 screws.
5.1.2 Installing the mounting plate with conduit (NDA-7051-CA)
For installation with conduit, use the NDA-7051-CA Conduit adapter M25 (sold separately).
NDA-7051-CA contains 5 conduit adapters. Use one conduit adapter per camera.
1. Remove one conduit adapter from the box.
2. Mark the position of the hole on the surface.
3. Use a screw that is suitable for the surface and the type of installation. If needed for the
surface, drill a hole to fit a plug. Make sure that the plug fits tightly. Use the appropriate
diameter drill.

4. Put the cable through the hole of the conduit plate.
5. Attach the conduit plate with the conduit plate adapter to the surface with a 5-6mm
(0.2inch) screw.
6. Remove the mounting plate from the box.
7. Mark the positions of the holes on the surface. The mounting plate has only one side
available for the conduit. Make sure to position it accordingly.
For standard installation, use the mounting holes marked with a B on the mounting plate.
For a different installation, for example for an installation on an electrical box, use
different mounting holes. For more information, refer to Installing the mounting plate,
page 14 .
8. Use 4 screws that are suitable for the surface and the type of installation. If needed for
the surface, drill 4 holes to fit plugs. Make sure that the plugs fit tightly. Use the
