Preparations
Check the serial number
Write down the serial number and MAC address on
the camera label for later reference.
Connect cable
To connect a cable in order to suit your
requirements, perform the following steps.
1 Remove the dome cover.
Open the dome cover by loosening 4 T10 anti-
tamper screws.
2 Remove the waterproof connectors.
If you do not need to route I/O wires, leave the
plastic cap in place. If you need to connect I/O
wires, keep the stainless nut.
Use an Ethernet cable with a cable diameter
between ø5 mm (13/64 inches) to ø6.3 mm
(1/4 inches).
3 Make holes in the ceiling.
Attach the Alignment Sticker to a position you
prefer.
Drill screw holes where “Drill hole” and “cable
hole” are indicated.
5 to 6.3 mm

6
4 Route cables through the holes.
Route cables through the routing holes, and
secure the top mounting plate to ceiling by
driving the included screws.
5 Pass an Ethernet cable through the routing
hole.
6 Hook up the tether wire between the camera
and the top mounting plate.
7 Pass the Ethernet cable through the
components of the waterproof cable gland.
8 Firmly crimp the RJ45 plug to the Ethernet
cable.
Note
For attaching the connector to the network cable,
you need a crimper (RJ45).
Length of the screws:
30 mm

9 Tighten and install the components of the
waterproof connector.
Pass the I/O combo cable (if applied) through the
routing hole, and attach a rubber seal ring. Install
the combo cable with the white headers inside the
camera, and tighten the stainless hex nut from the
inside of the camera.
Connect the white headers of the I/O combo cable
to the J9 and J14 headers on the camera PCB board.
10 Connect the I/O combo cable on the outside of
the cameras.
Note
Protect against moisture by using putties.
11 Connect a ground wire.
Prepare a cable with a resistance lower than
4Ω and a diameter larger than 20AWG.
Connect the ground wire to the camera with an
M4 screw.

Installing a microSD card
Gently insert the memory card into the slot until it
clicks into place as required.
Installing the Camera
Secure the camera to the top mounting plate by
using the alignment marks. Align the rotate the
camera clockwise. Ensure that the unlock button is
firmly in place.
Warning
• If you attach the camera in the height such as the
wall or the ceiling, etc., entrust the installation to
an experienced contractor or installer.
• If you install the camera at a height, ensure that
the installation location and its material are
strong enough to withstand a weight of 10 kg
(22 lb 0.74 oz) or more, and then install the
camera securely. If the ceiling is not strong
enough, the camera may fall and cause serious
injury.
• To prevent the camera from falling, make sure to
attach the supplied safety tether wire.
• If you attach the camera to the ceiling, check
periodically, at least once a year, to ensure that
the connection has not loosened. If conditions
warrant, make this periodic check more
frequently.
• Install the mounting plate and the camera unit to
a clean, flat, and level location that has no
deformities. Otherwise, installation may not be
possible.
Adjustment of the Shooting Direction and
Range
1 Open the live view on your laptop.
Check the live view to ensure the image is in
focus.
2 Adjust the lens shooting direction to obtain an
optimal field of view.
You can adjust the ranges of the pan, tilt, and
rotation for each lens. Move the lens module
left and right on the slide track, or without
changing the position of the lens module by
loosening the screw.

Notes
• Distortion other than the specified optical area of
the dome cover also may be appear on the
images depending on zooming, tilting or
rotation.
• When adjusting the shooting angle, please avoid
touching the exposed circuit board or ribbon
cable. Static discharge can cause damages.
3 Perform necessary adjustments such as the
image alignments on the panoramic view from
the 4 sensors.
Go to Configuration > Media > Image > Focus in
your web browser. Zoom in on the individual
lens if necessary. The automated focus
function can help you acquire the best image.
The zoom in/zoom out function is performed
in the Focus window.
4 Tighten the pan fixing screw and the tilt fixing
screw.
Tighten the screw with the tightening torque
below.
Pan: 24.5N •cm ± 1N •cm
Tilt: 44.1N •cm ± 2.9N •cm
Note
Tightening the tilt fixed screw with force more than
specified may cause a damage or deformation of
the screw.
Installing the Dome Cover
1 Replace the 2 desiccant bags on the sides of
the camera.
They remove the moisture in the dome.
Replace the desiccant every time you open the
dome cover.
2 Aim the center of the dome cover (the center of
the logo) and align with the alignment mark on
the camera body.
Aim and then turn clockwise. Install the dome
cover by fastening the T10 anti-tamper screws.

10
Note
Make sure the safety tether wire for the dome cover
does not get caught between the dome cover and
camera unit.
Important precautions
• Despite the fact that this unit is rated IP66, this
section includes important precautions to
prevent any malfunction caused by condensation
and/or water ingress.
• Read the precautions below thoroughly before
installing the unit.
• Make sure to install the camera unit so that the
surface of the connection cables (including
connectors) does not water. Or waterproof
should be performed properly. Otherwise, there
may be a risk that water enters the unit through
these cables.
• Install the mounting plate and the camera on an
even ceiling or wall, etc.
• Install the camera properly, using the screws,
while referring to the Installation Manual.
• Before attaching the dome casing to the camera
unit, make sure the waterproof rubber gasket is
clean and fits in the groove of the joint surface
properly.
• When installing the camera on a wall, install it
with the microphone hole facing down.

1 The +5V pin provides a 5V output voltage, and the max. load is 50mA.
2 The max. voltage for DO pins is 30V DC (External power).
In order to control AC devices, the Wet contact diagram can be taken in consideration. The diagram
uses a relay to control the ON/OFF condition of the AC device.
3 An external relay can be triggered by using +5V pin or by an external power source, depending on the
type of relay you use.

Connection
Connecting the Power Source
There are two ways to supply the power source to
this camera, as follows.
•AC24V
• Power supply equipment pursuant to IEEE802.3at
(PoE+ * system)
* PoE means Power over Ethernet.
Depending on the requirements of your
installation site, select an appropriate power
source.
• Do not turn off the camera immediately after
turning it on. Wait for at least five minutes before
turning off the camera.
• Do not connect the power input cable if power is
supplied by a PoE system.
• The ambient temperature must be -30ºC or
higher at startup of the camera.
• When using the camera in a very low
temperature environment, the embedded heater
may take up to 10 minutes to warm up the
camera. When the temperature within the
canister reaches -10ºC, the camera automatically
starts.
Connecting to 24V AC source
Connect the power input cable of the camera to a
24V AC source.
• Use a 24V AC source isolated from 100V AC. The
usable voltage range is as follows. (Assured
range of the voltage the camera is receiving
(receiving-end voltage).)
24V AC: 21.6V to 26.4V
• Use a UL cable (VW-1style 10368) for this
connection.
The AWG #16 to #20 is recommended.
• Use the following plug when connecting from a
24V AC source.
AC plug: straight PL03B, 5.5 mm outer diameter,
2.1 mm inner diameter
• The AWG #26 or thicker is recommended for I/O
combo cable signals.
Connecting to the Network
Connect the Ethernet port of the camera to a router
or hub in the network using a commercially
available network cable (not supplied).
