Safety and Compliance Information
Installation and removal of the unit and its accessories must be carried
out by qualified personnel. You must read all of the Safety Instructions
supplied with your equipment before installation and operation.
Installation
This device is a class A product and may cause radio interference.
Take measures if necessary.
Be careful not to blur, scratch, damage the dome cover or leave
fingerprints on it because this could decrease image quality. Keep
the protective film on the dome cover until installation is complete.
Make sure the camera operates in an environment where the
temperature and humidity meet requirements. Keep the camera
from excessive pressure, vibration, moisture, dust, and intensive
electromagnetic radiation.
Use a power adapter or a PoE device that meets requirements.
Otherwise, the device may be damaged.
Make sure the length of the power cable between the power
adapter and the camera is not too long, otherwise the voltage of
the camera is lowered, causing the camera to work abnormally. If it
is required to lengthen the power cable, lengthen the cable
between the power adapter and the mains.
Do not hold the tail cable by hand for weight bearing. Otherwise,
the cable connector of the camera could be loosened.
When connecting to an external interface, use an existing
connection terminal, and ensure that the cable terminal (latch or
clamp) is in good condition and properly fastened. Ensure that the
cable is not tense during mounting, with a proper margin reserved
to avoid poor port contact or loosening caused by shock or shake.
The connectors of the tail cable must not be exposed. The bar cavity,
waterproof box, corrugated pipe and PVC pipe must be fully sealed
to protect the connectors from water. The waterproof components

2
for the RJ45 plug must be used properly to protect the network
cable from water.
Make sure the wall or ceiling is strong enough to support the weight
of the camera. If dust falls during mounting, take off the dome cover
and keep it away from dust. Install the dome cover after the base is
installed.
Purchase a bracket if you need to increase the field of view. Contact
your local dealer for details.
Contact professionals for maintenance information. Do not attempt
to dismantle the device by yourself. We shall not assume any
responsibility for problems caused by unauthorized repair or
maintenance.
for problems caused by unauthorized repair or maintenance.
Maintenance
Caution: There will be risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an
incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the
instructions.
If there is dust on the lens or the transparent dome cover, remove
the dust gently using an oil-free brush or a rubber dust blowing ball.
If there is grease on the lens, remove the grease using an oil-free
cloth gently and then clean the lens in a circular spiral from the
center outward using an oil-free cloth or a lens cleaning paper
dipped with small amount of cleaning solution. If the grease still
cannot be removed, change to another oil-free cloth or lens
cleaning paper and clean the lens gently until it is removed.
If there is grease or a dust stain on the transparent dome cover,
clean the cover gently from the center outward using anti-static
gloves or an oil-free cloth. If the grease or the stain still cannot be
removed, use anti-static gloves or an oil-free cloth dipped with
detergent and clean the dome cover gently until it is removed.
Do not use organic solvents, such as benzene or ethanol when
cleaning the transparent dome cover.

3
Make sure the lens cleaning cloth is clean itself.
Never look at the transmit laser while the power is
on. Never look directly at the fiber ports and the
fiber cable ends when they are powered on.
Use of controls or adjustments to the performance
or procedures other than those specified herein
may result in hazardous laser emissions.

Mounting the Camera
Ceiling Mount
The dome camera can be ceiling or wall mounted; mounting
accessories are available separately. The following steps use
ceiling mounting as an example; wall mounting is similar.
1. Loosen the captive screws and remove the dome assembly
to access the mounting base. Do not remove desiccant
bags.
2. Route cabling to the installation site and connect all
cables; secure the camera to the ceiling using self-tapping
screws (supplied).
Paste the drill template and lead the
cables through the hole. Use a Ø6mm-
6.5mm drill bit to drill 30 mm-depth
guide holes according to the template.
Knock the plastic rivets into the
guide holes and ensure that they
are tightened up.

Using the drill template provided, mark the
hole locations and drill holes in the ceiling;
use a Φ6mm -6.5mm drill bit to drill 30mm-
depth guide holes.
Insert the plastic anchors for the self-tapping
screws into the mounting holes and ensure
they are secure.

3. Adjust the camera position:
Grasp the camera assembly and carefully rotate and tilt it
to the position required. The camera can be rotated in
pan 60°, tilt 90° and rotate around its axis 360°.
4. (Optional) Insert a Micro SD card in the slot provided.
5. Replace the dome assembly and tighten the screws.
Keep the transparent dome free from dust during
installation.
Ensure that the dome screws are inserted securely.

(Conduit)
The preceding installation process is for a concealed
installation, where cables are routed through the ceiling
directly to the surface-mounted camera. For installations
where the cabling is routed externally, via conduit (customer
supplied, an optional backbox must be used. Install the
conduit/backbox first and then connect all the cables and
secure the camera onto the ceiling.
As a mounting alternative, the V840D can be mounted to a
4x4 electrical box, using the V840D-PLATE, or to a surface on
a tilt, using the V840D-WDG.

Waterproof Components for an RJ-45 Plug
The accessory kit includes an
RJ-45 protective cover. Install
the supplied seal ring onto the
RJ-45 connector. Install the
waterproof components in the
order shown onto the Ethernet
cable (customer supplied). Then
insert the Ethernet cable into the
RJ-45 connector of the camera
and screw the waterproof bolt
until snug.
When fabricating your own Ethernet cable, Vicon
recommends to crimp the inner wires of the cable with
the RJ-45 plug first and then cover the waterproof
components.
