CeilingVIEW 70 PTZ HideAway
Installed PTZ Ceiling Camera with Recessed, Motorized Camera Lift System
Vaddio’s CeilingVIEW 70 PTZ HideAway camera system is
designed to provide system integrators with an easy to install,
recessed, in ceiling, motorized camera lift system (see Figure 1).
The system features a Sony® EVI-D70 PTZ Camera mounted into a
recessed, metal ceiling camera enclosure with ceiling tile support
and is equipped with Vaddio’s EZCamera™ Cabling System which
allows the integrator to use Cat. 5 cabling to run power, video and
camera control. The camera lift has a motorized extension arm,
that when retracted, conceals the camera. When the camera is
activated the extension arm lowers and reveals the camera.
Contact closure or voltage sensing can be used to activate the lift
system remotely or the camera IR remote control can be used to
activate the lift with the ON/OFF button. The VISCA control
interface is included to allow the camera to work with any other
VISCA compatible control device. The PowerRite™ power supply
regulates the right amount of power needed for the camera over the
Cat. 5 cabling.
Before operating the Vaddio CeilingVIEW 70 PTZ HideAway,
please read the entire manual thoroughly. The camera system was
designed, built and tested for use indoors with the provided power
supply. The use of a power supply other than the one provided or
outdoor operation has not been tested and could damage the
camera and/or create a potentially unsafe operating condition.
The information contained in this manual will help you install and
operate your Vaddio CeilingVIEW 70 PTZ HideAway. If these
instructions are misplaced, Vaddio keeps copies of Specifications,
Installation and User Guides and most pertinent product drawings
for the Vaddio product line on the website. These documents can

REMOVE the safety tape and then REMOVE the shipping hold-down
screw in the back of the camera module as indicated below (see Figure 2.
If power (over the Cat. 5 POWER/VIDEO cable) is connected to the
camera before the shipping hold-down screw is removed, serious
damage to the camera may result.

CEILING TILE
The CeilingVIEW 70 PTZ HideAway is an integrated
document/object camera specifically designed for installation in a
suspended ceiling above a table or work surface. Recommended
ceiling heights are between 8 and 12 feet.
•Be sure to check above the ceiling tile where you plan to install
the camera to make sure the area is clear and that there is
enough room for the CeilingVIEW Camera Module and all of its
components.
•Keep in mind that other than viewing straight down, the
CeilingVIEW PTZ has the capability of panning +/-170 degrees
from center.
•The camera may be used with any 2’ tile. The camera module
enclosure and the tile support rails allow for flexibility and
positioning freedom when used with 2'x2' and 2'x4' ceiling tiles.
•For cutting ease, remove the marked ceiling tile and place on a
suitable and safe work surface.
Note: If camera is to be controlled as part of a multi camera system, please
refer to the section CHANGING CAMERA DEFAULT SETTINGS located on
Page 7 of this manual.
To mount the CeilingVIEW 70 PTZ HideAway:
1) Attach a string or plumb bob to the ceiling tile with a thumbtack.
2) Position the string directly over ample table space or work
surface to allow easy document and object positioning.
3) Using a sharp utility knife, score a 6-3/4" diameter circle into the
front of the tile centered on the string.
4) Carefully cut out the 6-3/4" hole.
5) Place the tile support rail on the backside of the tile and center
over the hole. Carefully place camera in cutout hole from the
back of tile (see Figures 3 and 4) and attach to support rails.

6) Using the supplied thumbscrews and washers, attach the
support rails to the CeilingVIEW PTZ camera (see Figure 4).
Place rail edge between two washers and tighten thumbscrew
securely. Note: The thumbscrew sits on top of the rail, not through
the holes on the rail.
7) The Cat.5 cable (plenum rated as code dictates) is run from the
ceiling location where the camera is to be mounted, to where
the Quick-Connect Box is located (see Figure 5). Both the S-
Video and Composite Video outputs are active.
8) If needed, Cat.5 plenum rated cable(s) may be purchased from
Vaddio to connect your camera for video, power control and
control daisy-chaining between multiple cameras (see Figure 6).

b. If a RS-232 control cable is to be used, it should be
attached to the RS-232 IN jack.
c. If a second or third camera is to be used, attach a cable to
the RS-232 OUT jack and route to the next camera.
10)The camera and ceiling tile should be carefully replaced in the
suspended ceiling at this time.
11)Locate the white trim ring assembly and plug the IR cable into
the IR board connector on the trim ring lip (see Figure 8). Take
care not to pull any more than about 2 inches of cable from the
camera enclosure. The connectors will fit together only one way
with a positive click. (Note: DO NOT hang the trim ring from the
camera by the IR cable) Carefully move trim ring into position on
bottom of ceiling tile while feeding IR cable back into camera
enclosure and secure with the two supplied white screws.

12) With the Cat.5 cable routed from the POWER/VIDEO jack on
the back of the camera to the Quick Connect Box, connect the
supplied Vaddio PowerRite power supply. The camera will lower
into position and the S-Video and Composite Video signals will
be live and viewable after the camera is fully lowered and in the
“Home” position (Reminder: Use of a power supply other than the
provided Vaddio power supply will void warranty and may cause camera
and equipment damage).
The Camera can be controlled with the Sony RM-EV100 IR Remote
Controller or through RS-232 using VISCA control protocols.
The Sony RM-EV100 IR Remote Controller controls the following
functions when used with a CeilingVIEW 70 PTZ HideAway (see
Figure 9). A fresh set of AA batteries (not included) should be
installed in the provided Sony remote control. To operate, aim
remote at camera and depress desired button.
If you are using a control system (i.e. Crestron or AMX), plug the
Cat.5 cable from the RS-232 IN jack on the camera to your control
system using the Cat.5 to DB9 serial adapter supplied by Vaddio. If
you are controlling more than one camera, plug the Cat.5 cable from
the RS-232 OUT jack on the first camera to the RS-232 IN jack on
the second camera. Repeat procedure if third camera is to be used.
If control of motor only is desired, there is an external connector
provided on the top of the camera. This contact is normally open
and the motor will be in the retracted state. By providing a contact
closure across this connection when power is available and
connected via the Cat. 5 POWER/VIDEO cable, the motor will lower,

Please refer to Figure 11 for this procedure.
•Camera must first be lowered into place and power unplugged.
•Place camera on suitable work surface.
•Remove the 4 cover plate retainer screws.
•Carefully lift off cover plate while threading the IR cable back through hole.
•Looking between the rear of the EVI-D70 camera body and the interconnect
circuit board, locate the 2 switches (it may be necessary to slightly tilt the
camera assembly to get the best view of the switches).
•The default setting for the image flip function is ON. Move this switch to the
left to disable.
•The default setting for IR select is 1. If this to be camera number 2 in a 2
camera system, set this switch to position 2. If this camera is number 3 in a 3
camera system, set switch to positions3.
•Carefully thread the IR cable back through the cover plate and secure plate to

Vaddio supplies this control specification for the CeilingVIEW 70 PTZ HideAway
camera. This VISCA control set (as used in Sony EVI cameras) is used in
conjunction with additional Vaddio control commands (see comment section on
Table 1) for added functionality of the camera lift.
Communication Speed: 9600 bps (default)
Start bit: 1
Stop bit: 1
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
The control codes for the CeilingVIEW 70 PTZ HideAway are the same codes
used with the EVI-D70 pan/tilt/zoom camera. Vaddio is not translating these
codes and does not add any translation or memory capability to enable use of the
EVI-D70 camera as a main or auxiliary camera with videoconferencing system
codecs or the associated IR remote controllers.
For best control results, use the provided RM-EV100 IR Remote Controller or the
VISCA Commands (detailed in Table 1 below) with an external control system.
