3 Description
IQeye Alliance-pro Series is an advanced network dome camera
available in multiple resolutions from VGA to multi-megapixel. With
a variety of models to choose from, the IQeye Alliance-pro is ideal for
applications requiring true day/night functionality or H.264 compression
for lower file sizes, while still delivering high-quality images at
megapixel resolutions. In addition, the Extreme Temperature models
can withstand the harshest weather conditions.
The Alliance-pro’s unique auto tracking shroud automatically aligns
during setup and installation of the camera. Its innovative low profile
design gives a flush-mount appearance, although Alliance-pro is
actually a surface mount camera. Alliance-pro’s mounting plate or back
box provides for a stable, robust installation, and the integrated 3-axis
gimbal allows for mounting Alliance-pro anywhere and still achieving
high-quality images.

interior wall and ceiling mounting options. For exterior mounting options, consult the additional

6 Mounting options
Alliance-pro cameras can be mounted in one of two configurations, wall
or ceiling. Both mounting configurations are shown in Figure 6.1 and
Figure 6.2.
In the wall mount configuration, use the 3-axis gimbal to level the field of view
for any camera position.

7 Removal of Dome Cover and Camera Assembly
a. Using the supplied Torx T-20 security tool, loosen the four tamper-proof
screws holding the dome cover to the enclosure assembly. Note these screws
are captive. These screws should not be removed from the dome cover trim
ring.
b. Lift the dome cover and trim ring away from the camera assembly.
c. Locate the removal tabs where the camera assembly connects to the
mounting plate as shown in Figure 7.1.
d. Press any two of the three removal tabs and pivot the camera assembly up
and away from the mounting plate.

8 Install Interior Mounting Plate
a. Position the supplied mounting template on the surface in the location where
the camera will be installed. Trace and drill the mounting holes and the cable
pass through hole, as indicated.
b. Using the supplied or equivalent hardware, install the mounting plate to the
intended surface.
c. Pull cabling through the pass-through hole.
NOTE: When installing the Alliance-pro to a ceiling tile, use hardware designed to secure the camera
assembly to such a surface and ensure the ceiling tile being mounted is secure.
In addition, follow local regulations and laws which may have specific requirements governing the
installation of security equipment on a ceiling tile surface. IQinVision strongly recommends the use
of a ceiling tile brace and other mounting hardware designed to secure the Alliance-pro to the ceiling
frame infrastructure.
9 Connect Camera
Power-over-Ethernet, Direct Power, and I/O connections are made on the top of
the camera module. See Figure 9.1.
Figure 9.1

9
a. Power the camera using either direct power or Power-over-Ethernet.
1. Direct Power: Connect either a 12-24VDC or 24VAC power source to the
camera. Wire polarity is not important, therefore + or – connections can be
connected to either terminal as shown in Figure 9.2.
NOTE: Using a power source with specifications other than those defined will damage the camera, and
will void the product warranty.
2. Power-over-Ethernet: Input from an IEEE802.3af Power-over-Ethernet (PoE)
injector or switch.
b. Route and connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the camera as
shown in Figure 9.3.
Figure 9.2
Figure 9.3

c. If Audio and I/O connections are being used, attach them to the appropriate
terminals on the Audio / Triggers terminal block on the camera as shown in
Figure 9.4.
d. Carefully feed the connected wires one at a time back through the pass
through hole.
e. Snap the camera assembly into the mounting ring by sliding one of the
removal tabs under the lip of the mounting ring and firmly pivoting the other
two mounting tabs into the mounting plate. The camera mounting tabs
should snap into place.
10 Camera Positioning, Field-of-View Set-up and Focus
NOTE: Camera positioning, field-of–view and focus set-up can be assisted by connecting an analog test
monitor to the installation / set-up RCA port on the side of the camera.
a. Determine camera pan direction by gripping the camera assembly near the
mounting plate. Carefully pivot the camera to the correct pan position.
b. Open the camera shroud by flipping it down and away from the front of the
camera. The front of the camera is indicated by the lens location.
