2. Installation
2.1 Base Installation
1. Position the supplied template in the mounting location, use this template to drill the
required mounting holes and cable access holes
NOTE
The total mass of the main unit is approx 1.3kg. Check whether the ceiling to which the
Dome Camera is installed is strong enough to hold the unit mass. If not, either mount in a
different position or strengthen the ceiling.
2. Attach safety wire for securing the dome camera to ceiling or structure.
3. Insert each cable through the cable hole, connect BNC cable and communication lines.
4. Unlock (4x) torx screws on the dome cover and fix the dome case firmly with supplied
mounting screws (4x), plastic anchors (4x), O-Rings (4x).
5. Adjust desired focus and scene by turning and moving the hemisphere by hand.
6. Replace the housing cover and secure with the torx screws (4x).
As a minimum the dome requires the connection of a network cable, if a PoE switch is used this cable
can supply power as well as transmit the video. If a PoE switch is not available then a separate power
supply is required
Important note:
The O-Rings(4X) form the
primary waterproofing seal, and
must be included in the
installation process

• Connecting to the RJ-45
Connect a standard RJ-45 cable to the network port of the network camera. Generally a
cross-over cable is used for directly connection to PC, while a direct cable is used for connection
to a hub.
You can also use a router featuring PoE (Power over Ethernet) to supply power to the camera.
• Connecting Alarms
AI(Alarm In) :
You can use external devices to signal the dome to react on events. Mechanical or electrical
switches can be wired to the AI (Alarm In) and G (Ground) connectors.
G(Ground) :
Connect the ground side of the alarm input and/or alarm output to the G (Ground) connector.
Alarm Out :
The network camera can activate external devices such as buzzers or lights. Connect the device
to the AO (Alarm Out) and G (Ground) connectors.
• Connecting the Power (If PoE is not being used)

Connect the power of DC12V or AC24V for the network camera. Connect the positive(+) pole to
the ‘+’ position and the negative(-) pole to the ‘-‘ position for the DC power.
Be careful not to reverse the polarity when you connect the power cable.
You can also use a router featuring PoE (Power over Ethernet) to supply power to the
camera.
The heater will operate properly only by the heater power source of AC 24V.
If using PoE, the heater will not operate at all.
Use an adaptor if the installation site requires heater operations. Adaptor is sold separately.
For the power specifications, refer to the “Appendix”of User’s Manual. (page 75)
