Installation
The VPC800 can be mounted on top of a display (such as TV set and monitor), wall-mounted,
ceiling-mounted, or placed horizontally, which you can select based on the site requirements.
If the display is thicker than 170 mm or the display is wall-mounted, the VPC800 can be
installed in any possible way other than be mounted on top of the display.
If the display is 170 mm or thinner, the VPC800 can be mounted on top of a display or placed
horizontally.
Placed Horizontally Place the camera on a flat surface.
If you have to place the camera on a sloping surface,
ensure that the slope is less than 15° or the camera may not
function properly.

4
Mounted on Top of a Display
Use the L-shaped bracket to secure the VPC800 on top of
the display. The following figure shows the installation
procedure.

5
Wall-Mounted
Use the L-shaped bracket to mount the VPC800 on a wall.
Prepare the hammer drill, rechargeable electric screwdriver, hammer,
and Phillips screwdriver by yourself.
Drill four holes in the wall for mounting the bracket, each with a
diameter of 8 mm (0.31 in.) and depth of 35–40 mm (1.38–1.57 in.). The
two holes in the upper part must be parallel to the horizontal plane to
ensure that the endpoint is horizontally installed. Then follow the steps
in the following figure to install the VPC800.

7
Ceiling-Mounted Purchase a bracket for ceiling-mounted installation and mount the
VPC800 onto the ceiling using the bracket. The bracket must meet the
following requirements:
It is able to bear a weight of at least 8.5 kg (18.74 lb) and has a
thickness between 2 mm (0.08 in.) to 3 mm (0.12 in.).
It comes with a location pillar, which can be inserted into the location
hole of the VPC800. The distance between the screw hole on the bracket
and location pillar must be 14.5 mm (0.57 in.), which is also the distance
between the two holes on the bottom of the VPC800.
It comes with a screw hole and one or more 1/4"-20UNC screw.
When attaching the purchased bracket and VPC800, it is
recommended that you use a 1/4"-20UNC screw delivered with the
purchased bracket rather than a 1/4"-20UNC screw delivered with the
VPC800 because the length of the latter may be too long or too short to
hold up the purchased bracket.
Others Install the camera on a tripod (separately purchased).
Powering the Camera On
Connect the cables and power adapter to the camera and press the power button. About 18
seconds later, video appears on the display. The camera faces forward the first time you power it
on. Afterward, each time the camera is powered on, it restores to the position where it stays
before being powered off.
If the HD-VI port of the camera is connected to a TEX0 or TX series videoconferencing endpoint,
you do not need to connect the power adapter to the camera or press the power button. When the
videoconferencing endpoint is powered on, it supplies power to the camera to power the camera
on.

Checking the Status Indicator
Steady green: The camera is working properly.
Steady yellow: The camera is in sleep mode.
Blinking green: The camera is upgrading.
Blinking red: The camera is faulty.
Controlling the Camera
You can control the camera from the connected HD videoconferencing endpoint or remote
control.
If the endpoint is connected to the camera through an HD-VI cable, you can directly control
the camera using the endpoint. If they are connected by a video cable of another kind other than
HD-VI, you still need to connect them with a serial cable before starting camera control from the
endpoint.
To control the camera using only the remote control, set RC to IR-LOCAL or RF-LOCAL.
To use the remote control to hide or display the On-Screen Display (OSD) configuration
screen, set RC to IR-LOCAL or RF-LOCAL. On the screen, you can define image-related
settings, for example, setting the image output format and enable or disable the image inversion
mode.
The following table describes the buttons on the remote control, which are used to control the
OSD configuration screen.
Button Description
Press it twice to hide or display the OSD configuration screen. (The
OSD configuration screen is displayed topmost.)
Press it to confirm an operation.
On the OSD configuration screen, press them to move to desired
options.
To learn more about the remote control, visit http://www.huawei.com and search for the
TE30&TE40&TE50&TE60&TX50 Videoconferencing Endpoint V600R006C00 Administrator
Guide. After finding this guide, open it and view the "Understanding the Remote Control"
section.
Do not manually rotate the camera or stop it from rotating when
it is powered on and working properly.
