PACKAGE CONTENTS
This package contains:
One ST-CVTMD420-WPIR-W covert motion detection camera
One installation manual
Note: The ST-CVTMD420-WPIR-W requires a minimum 12VDC 150mA power supply such as the
ST-PS12VDC1A or ST-PS12VDC2A.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The ST-CVTMD420-WPIR-W is a covert indoor motion detection camera designed around a Color
SONY CCD with 420TVL of resolution. The camera’s design, size and packaging allow it to be
easily and discretely installed. The rich color, high definition, stability and resistance to jamming
make them attractive for CCTV security applications.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electrical shock do not remove the cover or back of this
unit. No user serviceable parts are inside.
CAUTION: To prevent electric shocks and risk of fire hazards, do not use other than
specified power source.
1. UNPACKING and HANDLING
Each unit is shipped assembled and factory tested.
Ensure that all accessories are removed from the container before discarding packing material
2. MECHANICAL INSPECTION
Inspect the front and rear of the equipment for shipping damage. Make sure the equipment is
clean, and no connectors are broken, damaged, or loose. If equipment appears to be
damaged or defective please contact your distributor or Securitytronix at 1-610-429-1511 for
assistance.
3. SPECIAL ATTENTION
a. The installer must comply with electrical safety standards. There must be sufficient
space between the camera’s power supply and video line and any high voltage
equipment and/or cables.
b. To help ensure the camera’s life and proper operation do not point the camera
towards the sun or strong light.
c. Do not install the camera in an indoor environment where the temperature is above
113°F. Do not install the camera outdoors.
d. Do not install the camera near a magnetic field or a high-power motor.
e. Do not mount the camera near a radiator or heater.
f. Only use a dry cloth to clean the camera. If there is dirt that is difficult to remove wipe
gently with a mild detergent. Never use strong or abrasive detergents.
g. A minimum 12VDC 150mA power supply must be used. AC power cannot be applied.
Using an AC or other incorrect power supply will damage the camera.
h. Only qualified installers are allowed to install, test and disassemble the camera.
i. The camera is a low voltage product. If installed outdoors proper safety and lightening
grounding are required.
This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and
maintenance (servicing) instructions.
This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous
voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a
risk of electrical shock.

4. MOUNTING and WIRING CONNECTIONS
Run coaxial cable for video, 18 gauge wires for power and UTP (unshielded twisted pair) wire
for alarm output to the installation location prior to installing the camera. The coax cable must
be terminated with a male BNC connector. The power wires are to be terminated with a male
5.5mm power pigtail. The alarm terminal block will accept bare wire.
a. This camera must be mounted on a wall or other vertical surface. Proper image
cannot be attained with ceiling mounting.
b. Hold the camera on the wall while monitoring the image with a portable monitor or
meter.
c. Observe the image while rotating the camera. When the desired view is achieved,
mark the mounting holes on the wall.
d. Connect the power supply’s 5.5mm male power pigtail to the camera’s female power
connector.
e. Connect the camera’s female BNC video output connector to the video coaxial cable’s
male BNC connector.
f. Feed all wires up into the wall.
g. NOTE: The camera can pivot approximately 45°in any direction once the camera is
mounted. Ensure proper positioning prior to securing the camera.
h. Connect power supply’s AC plug to a suitable AC power outlet.
i. The alarm output is a Normally Open (N.O.) switch. When the PIR motion detector
senses movement the N.O. switch closes momentarily. When connecting the
camera’s alarm output to a DVR’s alarm input, be sure to use a N.O. input or set the
input to N.O. in the DVR’s menu. The alarm output can als be used in any security
system as a standard motion sensor.

5. TROUBLESHOOTING
a. No picture after applying power –(i) check all plugs and cables are securely
connected to the proper connectors; (ii) ensure your power supply is providing the
correct voltage and current.
b. The picture has ripples –(i) check to see if the power supply is experiencing AC ripple,
if so a filter may be required; (ii) determine if the monitor is faulty; (iii) determine if
other peripheral equipment is causing ripple and if so make the necessary
adjustments.
c. The picture background continuously changes color –a fluorescent lamp’s magnetic
field may cause color roll, therefore, reduce the number of fluorescent lamps or
increase the distance between the camera and the lamps.
d. The picture appears smeared –(i) the power supply voltage level may be unstable,
therefore, try another power supply; (ii) ensure the cables are correctly connected
and/or the cables are of the correct impedance.
e. Other interference may require a Securitytronix ground loop isolation filter.
