interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial 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 the user will
be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
Caution Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate
the equipment.

Precautions
• Please ensure that your installation area can support the weight of the
camera.
• Do not install the camera in extreme temperature conditions. Only use the
camera where temperatures are between -13°F and 122°F (-25°C and 50°C).
Be especially careful to provide ventilation when operating under high
temperatures.
• Do not aim the camera towards an extreme light source to prevent damaging
the CCD.
• Do not touch the camera bezel (front glass plate).
• Do not drop the camera or subject it to physical shock.
• Do not expose the camera to radioactivity.
• Do not use a strong or abrasive detergent when cleaning the camera.
Caution The light emitted from the near-infrared light emitting diodes provides
illumination over a wide area. This light is not considered a risk to the
unshielded human-eye. However, as with any light source, it is
recommended that normal precautions be taken to avoid unnecessary
exposure. For example, avoid staring into the beam or viewing directly
with optical instruments at close range.
Note IR LEDs could be warm after prolonged use.

Before You Begin
Unpack Everything
Check that the items received match those listed on the order form and packing
slip. The HCD92534 packing box should include, in addition to this User Guide:
• One HCD92534 camera
• Four mounting screws
• One video test cable
• One allen wrench
• One adapter plate for 4S mounting box
If any parts are missing or damaged, contact the dealer you purchased the
camera from or call Honeywell Customer Service (see the back of this manual).
Note You will also require a Phillips screwdriver and a flathead screwdriver to
complete the installation.
Please read this guide carefully
before you install the HCD92534
True Day/Night camera.
Keep this guide for future reference.

Installation
The HCD92534 camera is designed for installation on a wall or ceiling. The
HCD92534 is weather sealed for indoor or outdoor locations.
Attaching the Camera
1. Position the camera to the desired mounting location on a wall or ceiling. Be
sure the location is solid on a flat, smooth surface (for example, a
crossbeam).
2. Using the supplied mounting template, mark the four screw holes for
installation.
3. Use four screws appropriate to your installation, screw the camera to the
marked holes.
The mounting bracket can be separated from the camera housing for easier
installation. This is done by unscrewing and removing the thumb screw on the
bracket. Replace and tighten the thumb screw after installation is complete.
Note To ensure a waterproof installation, the notch in the camera base that
the power and video connections exit through should be facing down. If
the power and video connections exit the top of the base (wall mounted
only), water may pool in the camera base. Apply appropriate sealant
around the notches and any other gaps between the camera base and
the mounting surface.
Positioning the Camera
Caution Do not swivel and position the camera without the mounting bracket
firmly in place.
Loosen the thumb screws and move the camera into position. Swivel the camera
to capture the desired field of view. Tighten the thumb screws to set the position.
