1.3 Connection in outdoor applications
1.3.1 Safety precautions
Coax grounding: If an outside cable system is connected to the
unit, ensure that the system is grounded.
U.S.A. models only: Section 810 of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA No.70, provides information regarding proper
grounding of the mount and supporting structure, grounding of
the coax to a discharge unit, size of grounding conductors,
location of discharge unit, connection to ground electrodes,
and requirements for the grounding electrode.
Power lines: An outdoor system should not be located in the
vicinity of overhead power lines, electrical lights, or power
circuits, or where it may contact such power lines or circuits.
When installing an outdoor system, extreme care should be
taken to keep from touching power lines or circuits, as this
contact may be fatal. U.S.A. models only - refer to the National
Electrical Code Article 820 regarding installation of CATV
systems.
12 VDC/24 VAC power source: This unit is intended to operate
with a limited power source, this power source must comply
with EN60950. User supplied wiring, from 12 VDC/24 VAC
supply to unit, must be in compliance with electrical codes
(Class 2 power levels). Do not ground the 12 VDC/24 VAC
supply at the terminals or at the unit's power supply terminals.
Connection: The unit has connection terminals on flying leads.
In wet or outdoor installations make use of the VDA-455SMB
accessory or use a field wiring box with Nema 4 or IP66
protection level or better. Make the connections inside the
water tight compartment. After connections are made ensure
that the watertight compartment is tightly closed and cables
and conduits are properly sealed to prevent ingress of water.

If the unit is to be surface mounted, then use the Surface Mount
Box (SMB). The SMB is sold as a separate item (VDA-455SMB)
or is included with the unit with the surface mount option.
Other mounting accessories are also sold separately.
3.3.1 Mounting tips
– Use the mounting hole template to assist in marking the
correct position for the camera to be mounted.
– Refer to the dimensions on the mounting hole template to
find the exact position of the screw holes and the entry
hole for the cables.
– Partially screw in two screws for the keyholes and use
them to temporarily hang the camera while the
connections are made.

connection compartment to remove it from the mounting
box.
– Open the cover of the watertight compartment in the
mounting box by releasing the five clips.
– Run the power and video cables through separate rubber
grommets into the watertight compartment.
– Run the cable from the camera into the watertight
compartment through the supplied grommet.

4 Connection and set-up
4.1 Power and video connections
The wiring harness has a BNC connector to accept the video
coax cable (with male BNC connector) and two stripped low
voltage power wires for connection to a power connector. A
UTP adapter (VDA-455UTP) is available as an optional accessory
to allow a UTP video cable to be connected to the BNC
connector.
The easiest way to connect the cables is as follows:
1. Bring the building connections through the surface cable
hole so that they hang clear.
2. Partially insert two screws into the pre-drilled holes (or
adapter plate).
3. Using one of the keyholes, hang the mounting base of the
camera module on one screw temporarily; tilt the base
slightly to gain access to the cable connections.
4. Connect the BNC connector of the camera module to the
video coax cable.
5. Connect the stripped power wires (red +, brown –) to the
power supply connector.
Note
For a DC supply the polarity is important. Incorrect polarity
does not damage the camera but it will not switch on.
6. In damp environments ensure that the connections are
sealed. (The surface mounting box and the other mounting
accessories have a sealed compartment for this purpose.)
7. Push the connections back through the surface cable hole.
8. Secure the mounting base of the camera module to the
surface with three screws.

4.2 Setting up the camera
4.2.1 Camera positioning
To assist in setting up the camera, connect a monitor to the
miniature 2.5 mm jack socket (2). This socket provides a
composite video signal (with sync). An optional cable (code
number S1460) is available for making this connection. When
the S1460 cable is attached, there is no video available on the
BNC connector to avoid interference.
