UNITED STATES FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION NOTICE
The following information is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for Class A digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a com-
mercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users
will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.
You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the e-Watch® equipment or one
of its peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following mea-
sures:
Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.
Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.
Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.
Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio
are on circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)
Modifications to this product not authorized by e-Watch could void the FCC approval and negate your authority to operate the product.

CAM-301-5 is a daylight mini dome camera for indoor use only
Key Features and Benefits
The CAM-301-5 Mini Dome Camera is an e-Watch® camera integrated in a
mini dome housing, capable of full communication with any PC running the
ViewWatch™ software.
e-Watch is an enterprise wide surveillance and situational awareness system
optimized for transmitting MPEG video streams, high resolution JPEG
images, detected event data and other sensor and detector data using digital
data transmission over both wired and wireless networks (LANs, WLANs).
The comprehensive e-Watch® Situational Awareness System is based on
standard networking and Internet technology. Both real-time and archived
data may be viewed from any authorized PC on the LAN, WAN or the
Internet. The archive application tracks and maintains all situational
awareness information and provides high-speed random access for fast
location of data relating to specific events
Components Supplied with the Unit
The unit contains the following components:
•CAM-301-5 Mini Dome Camera
•CAM-301-5 Dome Cover.
Components Supplied by Customer
Power, mounting hardware and other connections must be supplied by the
customer.

Power
The CAM-301-5 is an e-Watch® Ethernet powered camera. That is, it gets
its power from the same Ethernet line that connects to it for communication.
It is designed for IEEE 802.3af power or legacy PoE (power over Ethernet).
The power supply options are:
1. Any IEEE 802.3af compliant midspan or switch
2. PowerDsine® legacy PoE (4000 series units)
Note: The maximum length for power over Ethernet is 100 meters.
Figure 2-1 Power Example
Note: If using a PowerDsine 4000 series midspan the CAM-301-5 will have to be set to accept legacy power.
Please refer to document URG-9126-001 for details.
Connect the Ethernet cable from the side of the housing into the Ethernet
plug inside the dome housing. Figure 2-2

Mounting
Line of sight is crucial to mounting requirements. This mini dome is not a
powered pan/tilt unit. That is, it doesn’t have the ability to move itself.
Once it is mounted, you must adjust the camera to point to the area desired.
For mounting specific instructions please see the included installation
manual C1475M-A
Figure 2-3 Camera Dimensions
Note: Please be aware that although the CAM-301-5 is a ceiling tile mount unit, it is heavy. When mounting
it you should always use the included safety chain. See manual C1475M-A
