Mounting & Cabling
II
Preparing for installation:
1. Remove the IR illuminator from its package.
2. You should purchase power cords with
adequate length.
3. A T20 hex wrench.
Assemble the IR illuminator with the Support
Bracket. Use the included hex wrench to
assemble the support bracket, bearing housing,
and the ball swivel on the illuminators.

Use the included hex wrench to slightly loosen the ball swivel to adjust the shooting angle.

Install the IR illuminator behind your network camera, i.e., FD8362/FD8362E. Orient its
shooting angle after you slightly loosened the ball swivel screws. Secure the illuminators'
shooting angle by fastening socket screws on the ball swivels.
If you drilled a hole on the wall, you can pass power lines through the hollow of the
illuminator bracket and then through the hole.

When planning the surveillance area, take into account the achievable distance. Optimal
results can be achieved by setting up at night and observing the results on a management
session screen. Adjust the illuminators' shooting angles so that the camera's eld of view
is correctly lit..

Cable For Power & IO Cables
Top View
Power and IO cables pass through a waterproof
connector. All cables are user-supplied.
Replace the side opening cover with the included
side outlet bushing if you want to route cables
from the side of camera. The 1/2" protection
conduits and tubing are separately purchased.
Tips
Remove the plastic cap on the opening for IO cables
and replace it with the included waterproof connector.

1. Disassemble the components of the
waterproof connector into parts (A) ~ (F)
as shown above.
2. Place the screw nut (E) on the Power and
GPIO opening.
3. Feed the power cables through the
waterproof connector (F --> E --> D -->
B --> A) as the illustration shows. Then
connect the power cables to the power
source. Note: There are 8 holes on the
seal (D), and the widest holes with a crack
on the side are specic for power cables.
4. If you have external devices such as
sensors and alarms, feed the cables
through the waterproof connector (F

5. Push the seal (D) into the housing (B).
6. Insert the seals (C) into unused holes on
the seal (D) to avoid moisture.
7. Secure the sealing nut (A) tightly and
hex nut (F) from the bottom of the
camera.

If the external IR illuminator setting is enabled, all DO-related settings you previously
congured in the Event conguration will be erased.
Since only one pair of digital output lines are available, once the IR illuminator is enabled,
the other Digital output options will be disabled.
IR Conguration on Camera
IV
To congure the IR-related settings in camera rmware:
1. Open a browser management session according to your QIG (Quick Installation Guide).
2. On the main page, enter Conguration > Advanced mode > Media > Image (General
settings) > click on a tab at the lower screen to open Day/Night settings.
3. Select the checkbox in front of "Turn on external IR illuminator in night mode." Click
Save to preserve your setting.
Once the conguration is done, the network camera will automatically turn on the
illuminator when its light sensor detects low-light conditions, e.g., when the night falls.
