All installation and operation should conform to your local electrical safety codes.
The power source shall conform to the requirement of the Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV)
standard, and supply power with rated voltage which conforms to Limited power Source
requirement according to IEC60950-1. Please note that the power supply requirement is
subject to the device label.
A readily accessible disconnect device shall be incorporated in the building installation
wiring.
Make sure if the camera power adapter meets the camera operating voltage requirement
before powering up the device (The material and length of the power cable might influence
the device voltage).
Prevent the power cable from being trampled or pressed, especially the plug, power socket
and the junction extruded from the device.
We assume no liability or responsibility for all the fires or electrical shock caused by
improper handling or installation.
Environment
Do not aim the device at strong light to focus, such as lamp light and sun light.
Transport, use and store the device within the range of allowed humidity and temperature.
Keep the camera away from water or other liquid to avoid damages to the internal
components.
Keep sound ventilation to avoid heat accumulation.
Heavy stress, violent vibration or water splash are not allowed during transportation,
storage and installation.
Pack the device with standard factory packaging or the equivalent material when
transporting the device.
It is recommended to use the device together with lightning arrester to improve lightning
protection effect.
It is recommended to get the grounding holes to be grounded to enhance the reliability of
the device.
It is recommended to use qualified video transmission cable to improve video quality. It is
recommended to use RG59 coaxial cable or higher standard.
Use standard components or accessories provided by manufacturer and make sure the

Foreword II
device is installed and maintained by professional engineers.
The surface of the image sensor should not be exposed to laser beam radiation in an
environment where a laser beam device is used.
Do not provide two or more power supply sources for the device; otherwise it might
damage the device.
When the camera is in the condition of PoC power supply, do not connect any other device
between the camera and PoC transceiver including UTC, Balun, optical transceiver,
distributor and convertor and so on; otherwise, the device might get burned.
PoC supply voltage is up to 52V. Do not dismantle the device during normal operation;
otherwise it might cause danger to both device and users due to high voltage.

Introduction 1
1 Introduction
1.1 General
This series of products comply with the HDCVI standard and support the transmission of video
and control signal over coaxial cable. They produce video signal with megapixel resolution and
require HCVR device that comply with the HDCVI standard to achieve high speed, long
distance and zero lag transmission of the signal. They are applicable to cover the monitoring
needs for bus, school bus and subway.
1.2 Features
720p series support over 800 meter real-time transmission of video and control signal from
RG59 cable, for 1080p series, the distance is 500 meter.
Configuring devices easily with OSD menu.
Support switching between HD/SD outputs.
