4.1 Cameras
Allofour door cameras have connection cables terminated into the same 7 colour coordinated
wires. 4 wires are used to connect to the monitor and then 2 of the 3 remaining wires are used to
connect to anelectronic door lock.
The common (COM) wire is always used along with either the normally open (NO) or normally
closed (NC) wire depending on the lock type, power for the lock is separate as the Door Lock
relay does not provide power output.

The 4 wire y-leads are terminated into 4 pin plugs whichare simply inserted into the sockets on
the rear ofthe monitor. These are used for connecting door cameras, auxiliarycameras and
auxiliary monitors, the 4 wires are colour co-ordinated to match the 4 wires fromthe door
camera.
The 2 wire y-lead is terminated with a 2 pin plugand is used as the TV out for connecting the
door monitor to a TV monitor or DVR.
The 3 wire y-lead is terminated for the localrelay plug and is used to unlock a localrelay like a

Door cameras and auxiliary cameras can be powered in two ways, either locally or via the main
monitor.
The DoorKnox monitors can supply a 12V DC output to any of the four cameras but can only
supply a maximum of400mA across alloutputs.
To power a camera locally connect the Audio (white) and Video (yellow) to the door monitor,
the GND (black) to the PSU and the door monitor and then the 12V DC (red) to the PSU only.

4.5 Cable Runs
The maximumachievable cable runis limited by the voltage drop in the chosencable and also the
quality of the video cable which can cause signalloss and interference.
Resistance differs depending on the cable used and the higher the resistance the more the voltage
drops hence the shorter cable run achievable.
It is recommended to use one of three types ofcable, PTZ combo cable sometimes known as
RG59+4, CAT5+2 cable or 4 core cable with0.3mm2 cores.
Below shows the maximumrecommended cable run for each cable type. Cable runs exceeding
the stated maximumrunare at risk ofissues caused by voltage drop and non performance of
equipment.
