AUnscrew the mounting screw for the fall prevention wire beneath the camera and mount
the fall prevention wire.
BMount the fall prevention wire to a strong location.
3 Mount the camera to the ceiling
Pull out the cables from the ceiling and the cables from the camera towards the lens as shown, face
the (D) mark in the shooting direction, then mount the camera to the ceiling. To mount on a wall,
mount the camera such that the (D) mark is facing upwards.
TScrews for mounting the camera are not provided. Use the appropriate type of screws according
to the material of the location for mounting.

1 Connect the alarm cable
Connect the alarm cable to an external device, such as a sensor or buzzer.
2 Connect to audio cable (Recommended shield cable)
3 Connect the LAN cable
T To use the PoE power supply, connect to a PoE-compatible device and supply the power from the
LAN cable.
Note：
●When using a heater unit (sold separately: KA-ZH215U), PoE power supply does not work
for the heater unit (KA-ZH215U). Be sure to use an AC 24 V power supply.
●Connecting to HUB : Use a straight cable
●Connecting to a computer : Use a cross cable
4 Connect the power cable
Power can be supplied to this unit either by connecting to an AC 24 V power supply or using
PoE. (To use PoE A[3Connect the LAN cable])
Note：
● The power supply cable includes cable of the same color as the alarm cable. Check properly before
connecting.
● Make sure that power is supplied using only one of the above methods at any one time. Connecting
simultaneously using the power cable and to PoE via a LAN cable may cause the camera to break
down or malfunction.
● By default the IP addresses of all the cameras are set to 192.168.0.2. If the power of multiple
cameras within the same LAN environment are turned on at the same time, the IP addresses of the
cameras overlap, thus preventing proper access. As such, make sure to turn on the power of the
cameras one by one and set the IP addresses such that there is no overlapping.
