Basic Configuration
It is possible to create a system using multiple cameras, controllers and viewing positions
simply by introducing video switchers and amplifiers, serial data distributors and a variety
of other transmission peripherals. #
If your system consists of a single camera / single controller setup, the simplest method
of connection is shown below.#
There are three aspects to the cameras connectivity:#
Video:$1VP~P Composite Video 75Ωimpedance (such as RG59 / RG6 etc)#
Data:$RS485 Serial Data - 2 wire (RS485 A / RS485 B) - 24AWG#
Power: 2 Core (DC+ / DC GND), 18AWG, 12VDC < 2A#
The diagram below show a basic 1 camera 1 controller setup using combined power/
video/data cable to simplify cabling. For more details on Iris cable options see page 15.!

Typical Configuration Examples:
Analogue cameras:#
Another common practice is to use Balun adapters to facilitate video and data over CAT5
cable, viewing the video on a single monitor (or MFD). No additional hardware is required,
simply connect your camera controller directly to the data lines of your breakout balun
and do the same with the data wires at the camera end, hook the video feeds from the
camera into the balun and from the control balun into your monitor, and finally hook your
power up. See diagram below:*
#
Single Camera / Controller / Monitor using Balun Transceivers
If there are multiple 106 cameras, controllers or other PTZ cameras on the system, it will
become necessary to add a serial data distributor in order to balance the data and ensure
there are no signal reflections that could result in over-runs and poor camera control.
Below is an example of a system with 2 controllers and 2 cameras. An IRISEXP0204 data
expander has been used to manage the data cables, and an IRIS-HVR4 Recorder /
Switcher has been used to manage the two video feeds.#

This example shows two control positions (upper and lower helm) and two cameras. An
IRIS946 CAT5+2 cable is run to each of the cameras. The ethernet cable from the IRIS946
cable is used to carry network video traffic from the camera and the 2 x additional cores
are used to handle the RS485 data. Power is either fed from a separate, suitably rated 2
core cable or taken from a source local to the camera. At the control end, each of the two
network cables plug into a network hub, along with the network cables from your MFD (or
PC). RS485 data from each controller hooks into the serial data distributor (IRIS-
EXP0204) along with the additional cores from each of the IRIS946 cables. #
Iris are working with MFD manufacturers to integrate camera control into their user
interfaces. Please refer to boat-cameras.com for updates as to when this feature will be
available and upon which MFD models.#
Using Web Encoders to Connect an Analogue Camera to a Network:#
If you wish to connect an analogue camera to a network MFD, a suitable IP encoder can
be used to encode the analogue video into a network stream as shown below. The
example on the previous page shows how an IP encoder (such as the Axis M7011) can be
used to encode the composite video from an analogue Sentinel camera into an IP stream
and then connected directly to a network MFD (such as Garmin 8000 series or Raymarine
Axiom). This example shows a basic connection of a single camera directly to an MFD,
however you can connect multiple cameras in the same way shown above (depending on
the scope and functionality of your MFD) using network hub(s) and serial data
distributors.#
Compatibility Information:#
Compatibility with MFDs:
IRIS106 cameras all have an analogue video output (even the IP modules) compatible
with all MFDs that feature a composite video input. IP camera compatibility depends on
the make and model of your MFD. #
IRIS106 cameras feature an RS485 serial data connection for control, and communicate
using the Pelco-D protocol.#
At time of publication, only a few MFD manufacturers have introduced IP camera
compatibility into their devices, and those that have done have written their user interface
software around certain models of cameras and encoders only. Therefore it is important
that you ensure your MFD is compatible with any third party device before you purchase.

Certain IP Encoders also support RS485 connections specifically to drive PTZ cameras
such as the IRIS106 but this feature will only work if it features in your MFD’s software.#
Iris are working with MFD manufacturers to integrate camera control into chart plotter
interfaces. For progress updates visit boat-cameras.com or contact your Iris dealer.#
Serial Data Distributors:
If your MFD or web encoder do not support PTZ control, serial data distributor boxes can
be used to connect multiple cameras and controllers. #
Iris produce a range of serial data distributors depending on your requirement. Please
contact your Iris dealer for further product information or visit boat-cameras.com!

Rev: 01.01 / 18-06-19

Camera Control
IRIS106 cameras are controlled via an RS485 serial data connection, using a variant of
the Pelco-D CCTV camera control protocol. The Pelco-D protocol was designed to
provide accurate controls for a wide range of standard CCTV features, such as pan, tilt,
user preset features etc, but do not include certain extended features supported by Iris
cameras. Because of this, Iris have mapped their product specific features to certain user
preset commands and to other modified Pelco-D commands. This means that IRIS106
cameras can be controlled either by a dedicated Iris controller such as the IRIS595 or
Irisʼs IRIS596, as well as other control devices, such as compatible chart-plotters,
multifunctional displays and third party joysticks. For further information on compatible
third party control interfacing please contact Iris Innovations.#
Sentinel IP cameras can also be controlled across an ethernet network (computer, NVR,
network joystick etc) using standard ONVIF PTZ commands. Iris are working with MFD
manufacturers to integrate camera control into chart plotter interfaces. For progress
updates visit boat-cameras.com or contact your Iris dealer. #
The camera will require video, data and power cables. Running separate cables may not
be possible or desirable, therefore Iris supply optional combined cables to simplify
installation and reduce costs.#

POWER CONSIDERATIONS:
IRIS106 cameras are powered from a +12VDC supply. Ensure the voltage reaching the
camera is as close to the input range as possible. When choosing your power cable,
consider voltage drop over distance and select a gauge of cable that will minimise any
potential issues.#
Allow for a maximum power consumption of 24W.#
Remember, the voltage going into the cable is not going to be the same as the voltage at
the camera end, especially if the cable run is over distance or if the cable is kinked or
damaged!#
Power Connections#
Installation should only be carried out by qualified personnel or by persons
competent in the installation of electronic systems. Failure to adhere to the
wiring conventions in this guide and the practices stated could lead to
product failure, damage to property and personal injury or death. #
To prolong the lifespan of the cameras optical sensor, it is recommended
that power to the camera is routed via a helm mounted switch, and that
the camera is switched offwhen not in use.
The power cores within the IRIS106 Umbilical are colour coded RED for
12VDC+ and BLACK for DC GROUND. The power wires are terminated with
a 2.5mm DC Barrel Socket Plug. Always ensure your power supply is
protected by a sufficiently rated fuse or breaker depending on the supply
voltage and cable characteristics.#
Video connections (Analogue):#
The IRIS106 camera features an analogue composite video output (CVBS). The video
format (PAL / NTSC) can be configured in the cameras on screen menu set up pages. See
On Screen Menu for further details.#
IRIS106’s video output is a 1VP~P Composite video signal compatible with most
Multifunctional Displays (MFDʼs), Digital Video Recorders (DVR’s) and TVʼs (via AV input).#
Use 75ΩCoaxial cable such as RG59. Please note, RG59 has a solid core conductor
which may not be suitable. In this case use a stranded coaxial cable such as URM70.#
A BNC ʻstraight-thruʼadapter is supplied with the IRIS106 in case you need to extend the
video cable run.#
Many Multifunctional Displays (MFDʼs) / Chart Plotters use RCA (Phono) jacks for video
inputs. Sentinel is supplied with a BNC/RCA adapter for this eventuality.!
16
Rev: 01.01 / 18-06-19

Serial Data Connections:#
Control commands are sent to your 106 over an RS485 Serial Data connection which has
2 wires usually labelled either A and B or + and -. The data wires from the 106 umbilical
cable are identified accordingly:#
RED: RS485 A (RS485+) / Black: RS485 B (RS485-)#
When connecting directly to an IRIS595 controller, observe the following polarity:#
NOTE:#
One of the most common faults when connecting serial data is incorrect
polarity. In the event that there is no camera control when you have connected
up, please check the polarity of the data wires. You cannot damage the
equipment by reversing polarity of the data wires.#
WARNING:
Colour conventions for RS485 data and DC power are the same and can
therefore be confusing. Observe extreme caution when handling DC and data
wires , as incorrectly applying a DC voltage to the data line could result in
severe damage to the camera, boat and cause person injury or death.#

Connecting Multiple Cameras & Controllers#
If your system features multiple cameras and / or controllers it is advisable to use a Serial
Data Distributor. Iris supply a range of data distributors as listed below:#
Controllers are referred to as Inputs and cameras are referred to as outputs. If you require
more than 2 controller inputs contact Iris for details of how to configure your system.#
Page 12 shows an example of how Serial Data Distributors can be used. In this example
the system consists of IP cameras being controlled via RS485, and using a Serial Data
Distributor to facilitate multiple controllers and cameras. This works exactly the same with
all analogue systems.#

Camera Addressing
Each camera must have itʼs own unique address so that only control data intended for
that camera is received and processed by the camera. If multiple cameras had the same
address, they would all move together when pan and tilt commands are transmitted.#
Analogue cameras and IP cameras are addressed differently and addressing analogue
Sentinel cameras depends on your controller. Consult the manual for your specific Iris
controller for details of how to set the camera address.#
Analogue Camera Addressing:#
Set the address for your IRIS106 via the bank of DIP switches the can be located by
removing the dome cover as shown in the image below: #
#
#
#
To change the cameras address, remove the camera dome and locate DIP switch bank 1
as shown in the photo. There are 10 DIP switches in the bank. Switches 1~8 set the
camera address (Binary 1~256) and switches 9 and 10 set the Baud Rate. The baud rate
is set to 9600bps (switch 9 = OFF / switch 10 = ON).#

Installation
Installation Considerations#
It's important to fully consider the intended position of the camera and the desired fields
of view prior to installation, in terms of how you are going to get cables to the position,
will the camera be able to see the appropriate areas, will the camera interfere with any
other fixture such as a doorway or walkway once it's fixed in place, or are there any
obstructions behind the surface onto which the camera is to be installed. #
It's strongly recommended that if possible the camera should be temporarily powered up
prior to final installation and offered into position so that these factors can be assessed
and any possible issue can be addressed before holes are drilled and difficult, time
consuming and costly cable runs are attempted. Check third party hardware to ensure it
doesn't effect the operation of the camera and vice versa.#
Camera Installation#
Observe extreme caution when siting the camera. Ensure the act of drilling the pilot holes
and camera cut out hole does not infringe any cables, equipment or fixtures behind the
panel onto which the camera is to be installed.#
Once youʼve established a suitable fixing position, offer the cutting template into position.
You may find in helpful to use tape to fix the template into place prior to drilling and
cutting. Mark offthe four Fixing Positions and the centre position.#
Use a 122mm hole saw to create the cut out into which the camera will fit. The camera is
supplied with 4 x Stainless Steel self tapping screws. Drill pilot holes accordingly. The four
screw positions are very close to the cut out hole so care myst be taken.#
Pass the cable through your cut-out and terminate, carefully ensuring there are no polarity
issues and the integrity of each termination is sound. Although the termination points may
not be immediately exposed to moisture, the environment in which your camera operates
may not always be completely dry - therefore, ensure any joints, connections,
terminations etc are sealed using adhesive lines heat shrink or a suitable insulating /
amalgamating tape.#
When your cables are in place and correctly terminated, offer the camera up into the
fixing position and firmly screw into place.#
To avoid moisture ingress between the bottom of the camera and the surface onto which
the camera is to be attached, apply a bead of suitable silicone sealant around the edge of
the plate to create a seal. Use a non-permanent sealant in case the camera has to be
removed at any point in the future. Using a permanent sealant could result in damage to
both the mounting surface and the camera itself.!
