PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The ST-CVTSD520-WSD-W is a functional smoke detector and covert indoor cameras designed
around a Color SONY CCD with 520TVL 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
122°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 200mA 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 and 18 gauge wires for power 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.
a. This camera must be mounted on a ceiling or other horizontal surface. Proper image
cannot be attained with vertical mounting.
b. Hold the camera to the ceiling 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 ceiling.
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 ceiling.
g. Use the included mounting hardware to secure the camera to the ceiling.
h. NOTE: No adjustment of the viewing angle is possible once the camera is mounted.
Ensure proper positioning prior to securing the camera.
i. Connect power supply’s AC plug to a suitable AC power outlet.

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.
f. Additional troubleshooting assistance can be found on-line at www.securitytronix.com
