Don’t Void Your Warranty!
Caution
This product is for indoor use only. Do not install or operate this product if it has been dropped, damaged, or
exposed to liquids. If any of these things happen, return it to Vaddio for safety and functional testing.
Safety Notes
Warning
Follow standard safety practices when using ladders or lifts. Failure to do so can result in injury or death.
We like you, we don't want you to be injured or killed, and we hope you understand the gravity of the
situation.
Notes
All above-ceiling work must conform to local building codes and be performed by qualified personnel.
PoE type networks connected to this equipment are for intra-building use only and should not be connected
to lines that run outside of the building in which this product is located.
Cabling Notes
Use Cat-5e or better cable. In noisy RF or EMF environments, Cat-6 or Cat-7 is better. Maximum cable
distance for Cat-6 or Cat-7 cable is 328 ft. (100 m), 230 ft. (70 m) for Cat-5e cable. We recommend shielded
cabling if the cables will be coiled, run tightly with other cables, or routed near sources of electromagnetic
interference such as power lines or fluorescent light fixtures. When in doubt, use shielded Cat-6 cable or
better.
Caution
When making cables for Vaddio products, do not use pass-through RJ-45 connectors. If
they are crimped incorrectly, they can damage the connectors on the product, cause
intermittent connections, and degrade signal quality. Physical damage to the connectors
will void your warranty.
Intact – Contact fingers will make
reliable contact with the cable
connector
Damaged – Some contact fingers
are bent and will NOT make
reliable contact with the cable
connector
We recommend using high-quality connectors and a high-quality crimping tool.
Caution
Check your cables. Connecting a cable to the wrong port or using the wrong pin-out can result in equipment
damage and will void the warranty.
Pro Tip
To prevent tragic mishaps, label both ends of every cable.

Functional Check
Before you install the camera, you may want to verify functionality.
1. Connect the camera in its minimum functional configuration.
If not powered by a OneLINK device, the camera can be connected to an HDBaseT-capable
third-party control device through a PoE++ power injector (not provided). Connection details
vary depending on the equipment used in your installation.
2. Connect the camera's ribbon cable to the board on the trim ring.
3. Connect power. The camera moves, the status light turns blue, and video is available on the connected
display.
4. If the camera turns on and sends video, continue with the installation. Otherwise, double-check the
connections. Contact Vaddio technical support if the issue persists.
Camera powered by OneLINKHDMI
Camera Powered by OneLINK Bridge
Status Light
The light in the camera's trim ring indicates its current state, unless it has been configured to remain off.
Note
By default, the camera's status light is active during normal operation; however, it can be configured to
remain off. When the lens is visible, the camera is on and sending video.
nBlue: Ready/normal operation
nRed: On-air tally (pro AV color scheme)
nPurple: In standby mode or booting
nYellow: Firmware update in progress – overrides status light configuration
The pro AV color scheme is the default for this camera.
