The Expert’s Advice...
“When choosing a
PSU ensure it supplies
at least 30% more
power than your
camera’s maximum
current consumption.
Never use a PSU at
its maximum capacity.
It would be the same
as driving a car at
its top speed all the
time without expecting
something to give!.”

1Positioning your CCTV Camera
As with most CCD cameras, avoid directing the camera at any object or surface,
which contains bright spots that may cause fl are on the resulting camera picture.
To reduce fl aring, try to ensure that the camera is looking at a scene with uniform
brightness and not a dark scene with just one well-lit area. Otherwise, the “electronic
iris” will become confused and the camera will “average” the picture to a dark scene
and show the bright spot as a fl ared image.
When trying to identify a person with a CCD camera, plan the installation so that the
person you are trying to identify will walk directly towards the camera.
The cable has two distinct ends. One is the camera end and one is the monitor/DVD
recorder end. You can recognise the monitor end as this has a D.C Power Socket
that allows the PSU to be plugged into it. The camera end of the cable has a D.C
Plug that plugs into most 12V types of CCTV camera.

2Running Out The Cable
Before you run out the cable make sure that you have correctly identifi ed the camera
and monitor ends to save wasting time and effort turning the cable around.
3Connecting The Cable To The Camera
The Yellow Phono connection of the cable is for the Video signal. On some CCTV
cameras the video output may be a Phono connector but on most it is a BNC type. If this
is the case you would need a Phono/BNC converter (CON003).
If the camera has audio out, this will usually be a Phono connection. The White
Phono connector is for the audio signal and needs to be connected to the camera’s
audio out.
The remaining connector is a 2.1mm D.C power plug and needs to be plugged into
the camera’s D.C power in. If screw terminals are provided for powering the camera,
simply chop off the power plug and use the red core as +12V and the black as 0V.
(Do Not Do This With The Power On)
4Connecting The Cable To The Monitor
On the back of the monitor there may be one of the following types of connection:
- Phono, BNC or SCART. The yellow Phono connector is for the video signal and
the white Phono connector is for the audio signal. If you are connecting to Phono
connections you can simply plug the cable straight into the monitor. When using a
SCART connection you will require a VID015 Phono to SCART converter. To connect
to a BNC monitor you would need a Phono/BNC converter (CON003).
5Powering The Camera
The cable is fi tted with a moulded 2.1mm DC plug and socket for easy connection.
When selecting a PSU always leave at least 30% headroom on top of the cameras
maximum current consumption. Also note that the cable does have a maximum rating
of 1A @12V DC.
Once you are confi dent that the camera and monitor are connected correctly, you
can plug in the PSU and power up the system.
On CCTV monitors, a picture should instantly appear when you power up the system. If
a cloudy white picture appears with no detail or an out of focus picture, it is probably
how the camera or lens has been set up and not the actual cabling that is at fault. To
check this, simply remove the lens from the camera and place your hand over the front
of the camera to see if the picture on the monitor screen darkens. If it does, then the
cabling, connectors and power are OK but it is how the lens and camera have been
set up that is wrong. To remedy this, refer to the camera and lens instructions.
You can of course connect the camera to a switcher or quad before the monitor as
well as directly to a monitor. If you wish to do this, it is always recommended that
you initially set up the camera Only to the monitor to prove that they are connected
and set up correctly. Once you have proved they are working satisfactorily, you can
proceed to installing the camera with any other equipment in your system such as a
quad or switcher. If you fail to get a picture after you introduce other CCTV equipment
such as a switcher, quad, multiplexer or DVD recorder, then go back to basics and
connect the camera directly to the monitor to ensure you get a picture. You can then
eliminate item by item in your full system to identify the cause of the problem.

To view the camera picture on a TV with a Phono or SCART input, you must fi rst set
the TV to the relevant ‘AV’ channel. Some TVs have an ‘ AV ’, ‘ INPUT ’ or ‘ SOURCE ’
button on the remote control handset to select the AV channel. If this is not the case
refer to the TV’s instructions for selecting the AV channel.
When intending to use the cable with a domestic TV and DVD recorder or VCR, you
must always start by connecting the camera to the TV’s input fi rst. By doing this you
can be sure that the camera and system is working before introducing another device
such as a DVD recorder.
Phono & SCART Connections
Connect your camera to the video input on the DVD recorder by a Phono or SCART
input on the actual DVD Recorder. The DVD Recorder is then connected to the TV via
the SCART output as normal. To record a picture simply press the ‘ RECORD ’ button
on the DVD Recorder or remote control.
To watch the camera pictures live or a recording, the TV must be switched to AV
channel that has been set up for the DVD Recorder. (For example whichever channel
you would normally use to play a DVD, such as a fi lm through the TV).
Connect A Camera To A DVD Recorder/VCR To Record
And Play Back Through A TV
If you are connecting to a camera with a terminal strip connection then you will
have to cut off the connectors from the camera end. Take great care not to cut off the
wrong end by mistake!
If you cut off the individual connectors after the moulded joint you will fi nd two cores
in each of the three spurs. The black is always common and 0V. The red core relates
to the connector that has just been chopped of it, i.e.., if it was the yellow connector
then the red core would be video out and the black would be ground, if it was the
power plug that had been chopped off then the red would be +12V and the black
would be ground.
If preferred, you could cut the cable prior to the moulded joint and there are just 4
possible connections available.
The Screen Is Now 0V and common ground, Red
is +12V, the clear-sheathed core is Video and the Black core is Audio. As per the
diagram below;

If you fail to get a picture on your monitor, it is likely to be one of the following causes:
1Camera Not Getting Power
2Incorrect Connection Of Cables And Connector
3Monitor/TV Not Set Up Correctly. I.e., Not On The AV Channel
On A Domestic TV/DVD Recorder
4Camera And/Or Lens Not Functioning Or Set Up Correctly
To remedy your problem, rule out each possible cause step by step.
For example, with a multimeter at the camera, you can make sure that the camera
is getting power. Without power to the camera, there is no point in checking the
monitor connections.
1Camera Not Getting Power
If the camera is not getting power then it could be any of the following causes:
•Check that your PSU is functioning correctly, using a multimeter set on DC volts
(above 12V DC)
•If the PSU appears OK but there still is no picture on the monitor, ensure that the
PSU is fi tted with a 2.1mm plug and not a 2.5mm plug. If the PSU is fi tted with a
2.5mm plug it will not make a good connection on the centre pin of the DC power
socket fi tted to the camera, even though it may feel a good fi t when you push the
plug into the socket.
•2.1mm DC power socket pins are not open enough. It is possible that the power
socket that is fi tted to the camera needs to have the middle pin opened up slightly
to ensure a better fi t with the PSU that you are using. This can be done by inserting
a small screwdriver between the “split-pin” of the DC power socket on the camera
and gently widening the pin.
2Incorrect Connection Of Cables And Connector
Make sure that you have got the correct connectors to the correct inputs and outputs.
Yellow connectors are for Video, White connectors are for audio.
3Monitor/TV Not Set Up Correctly. I.e., Not On The AV Channel
On A Domestic TV/DVD Recorder
On a TV or DVD recorder with a SCART connector you will not get a picture unless you
switch the device to the AV channel. To do this, refer to the TV/DVD recorder’s instructions.
4Camera And/Or Lens Not Functioning Or Set Up Correctly
• Try reverting the camera to its default settings in-case it has been confi gured incorrectly.
• If the camera has a detachable lens, try removing and re-attaching the lens ensuring it
is connected correctly.
• If you are using a Direct Drive (DC) or Video Drive lens make sure the auto iris plug
is fi rmly connected to the camera. Check the auto iris plug and socket for any visible
damage or frayed wires. If the camera doesn’t have an auto iris socket then it is not
compatible with Direct Drive or Video Drive lenses.
