WARNING:
TO PREVENT FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
The lightning flash with arrowhead
symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is
intended to alert the user to the pres-
ence of uninsulated "dangerous volt-
age" within the product's enclosure that
may be of sufficient magnitude to con-
stitute a risk of electric shock to per-
sons.
The exclamation point within an equi-
lateral triangle is intended to alert the
user to the presence of important oper-
ating and maintenance (servicing)
instructions in the literature accompa-
nying the appliance.
The serial number of this product may be found on the top

1. Do not attempt to disassemble the camera.
To prevent electric shock, do not remove screws
or covers.
There are no user serviceable parts inside. Ask a
qualified service person for servicing.
2. Handle the camera with care.
Do not abuse the camera. Avoid striking, shaking,
etc. The camera could be damaged by improper
handling or storage.
3. Do not expose the camera to rain or moisture,
or try to operate it in wet areas.
Turn the power off immediately and ask a qualified
service person for servicing. Moisture can damage
the camera and also create the danger of electric
shock.
4. Do not use strong or abrasive detergents when
cleaning the camera body.
Use a dry cloth to clean the camera when dirty.
In case the dirt is hard to remove, use a mild
detergent and wipe gently.
5. Clean the CCD faceplate with care.
Do not clean the CCD with strong or abrasive
detergents. Use lens tissue or a cotton tipped
applicator and ethanol.
6. Never face the camera towards the sun.
Do not aim the camera at bright objects. Whether
the camera is in use or not, never aim it at the sun
or other extremely bright objects. Otherwise,
blooming or smear may be caused.
7. Do not operate the camera beyond the
specified temperature, humidity or power
source ratings.
Use the camera under conditions where tempera-
ture is between −10°C - +50°C (14°F - 122°F), and
humidity is below 90%. The input power source is
120V AC 60Hz for WV-BP550 and DC 12V/AC 24V
for WV-BP554.

Caution:
To prevent fire or electric shock hazard, a UL
listed wire (VW-1, style 1007) should be used for
DC 12V or AC 24V Input Terminals.

INPUT connector (terminal) of an external equip-
ment. When this camera detects motion, the alarm
output signal is supplied to the connected external
equipment.
(Open collector output: 16V DC 100mA max.)
!6 AC/DC Compatible Input Terminal
(DC 12V IN/AC 24V IN)
This terminal is for connecting the 12 V DC or 24 V
AC power supply cord.

Cautions:
1. Connect to 12V DC (10.5V-16V) or 24V AC
(19.5V-28V) class 2 power supply only.
Make sure to connect the grounding lead
to the GND terminal when the power is
supplied from a 24V AC power source.
2. To prevent fire or electric shock hazard,
use a UL listed wire VW-1, style 1007 cable
for the Input Terminal.

A. WV-BP550 (120V AC 60Hz)
1. Connect the AC power cord (supplied as standard
accessory) to the power cord socket of the cam-
era.
2. Connect the AC power cord to an electrical outlet
of 120V AC 60 Hz.
Notes:
• Connect the power cord firmly.
• The power cord should be long enough for pan-
ning and tilting.
If the cable is too short, the power cord plug may
pulled off the camera when the camera pans or
tilts.
B. WV-BP554 (12V DC/24V AC)
The WV-BP554 has an AC/DC compatible input termi-
nal. The 12V DC or 24V AC power supply cord can be
connected to this terminal. The camera detects the
power source automatically.
1. 12 V DC Power Supply
Connect the power cord to
the AC/DC compatible
input terminal on the rear
panel of the camera.

tion is at least equal to that of the camera.
2. Set the termination switch to the 75Ωposition on
the last monitor.
A. Use a 75Ωcoaxial cable.
B. Set the termination switch to the 75Ωposition
on the last monitor and to the Hi-Z position on
the other monitors. Do not change the posi-
tions after setting.
