Installation Suggestions
IV
If you plan to install this camera enclosure into a tropical, sea coastal, or an environment
where salt water or corrosive industrial waste water/moist are present, please seal each
stainless steel screws and ttings with a silicon grease compounds. This will help prevent
electrolysis to occur and extend the life span of the camera and housing.
IMPORTANT:
1. Disconnect devices: A readily accessible disconnect device in the building installation wiring
should be incorporated.
2. Electrical Connection: Only a qualied electrician is allowed to make electrical connections.

1. Install the wall-mount bracket to a preferred location at your installation site. Drill
mounting holes and a cable routing hole (if preferred) on a wall. Install the bracket.
Prepare and route the wiring, Ethernet and 24V power source.
Note that the AC 110V-to-24V power adapter should have a capcity of at least 4A.
2. If you need to install an IR illuminator, remove the metal cover from the bottom of the
housing using a T15 anti-tamper screwdriver.

4. Prepare power wires, a ground wire, and a CAT5e Ethernet cable. Pass them through
the M16 waterproof connectors under the housing.
Ethernet cable Ø4 ~ 6.5mm
Power wires & DI/DO wires,
a combo cable from IR illuminator
(if applied)
3. Orient and secure the IR illuminator to the housing using the 4 mounting holes at the
bottom.

7
English
5. When done, tighten up and install the waterproof connectors.
6. Assemble the camera components, e.g., the CS ring and lens module. Secure the
mounting plate to the bottom of the camera (the label side) using the included screw.
There is a plastic mount pad in the package. You do not need the mounting pad
using the VIVOTEK camera.

You may need to remove the RJ45 connector, and use a crimping tool to connect the
Ethernet wires to an RJ45 connector inside the enclosure. Use an Ethernet cable of the
width of 4 ~ 6.5mm.

7. Adjust the camera's position so that the lens module can ush align with the tempered
glass. Secure the camera using the screws and washers to the bottom of the housing.
8. Connect 24V power source to the power input terminal. Connect power wires from the
DC 12V output to the camera. Below is the distribution board drawing power from 24V AC/
DC.

15. Adjust zoom and focus and open a web console with the camera to tune for the best
image. When zoom and focus is done, Close the top cover and fasten the hex screws
from below.
16. Firmware congurable options:
Make sure that the external IR is turned on in the night mode, and that the IR cut lter
option is synchronized with the digital input you connected (default is DI1).
When the "Turn on external IR illuminator in night mode" is selected, a digital output signal
will be triggered to turn on the IR illuminators.
Use the Media > Image > Focus function to tune for a best image focus on your target
area. If using a non-iCS lens model (RBF lens), you should manually tune the focus to be
close to the optimal, and then use the auto scan focus function.
Non-iCS lens

If using an iCS lens model, use the auto focus function for an optimal image.
The conguration page automaticallly displays different options according to the lens you
installed.

In the Conguration > Media > Image settings page, select an application scenario, LPC
Highway, street, or parking lot mode. The related parameters, such as shutter time, will be
automatically changed for the scenario.
If preferred, e.g., shooting fast moving vehicles, select the 60fps frame rate.

16
In the night mode, check if the input signals are correctly detected. You may simulate
the night mode by blocking the IR unit's light sensor. Change the triggering parameters if
necessary.

FF 01 00 18 03 14 30
The parameters of IR illuminator can be controlled via the RS485 connection. You can
enable the connection in Conguration > PTZ > Mechanical window. Select the defaults
for the IR illuminator: Pelco D, baud rate - 2400, Data bits - 8, Stop bit - 1, Parity - none.

You can create custom command buttons by entering the Button name and the command
itself:
VaIR: The VAIR control include those on the IR Led and VaIR Lens.
There are 3 IR mode commands
IRMode = Light Sensor Auto (Default)
sensor lux reading < LightSensorGate - LED On
sensor lux reading >= (LightSensorGate + 10 Lux ) - LED Off
IRMode = DI_1 Trigger (IR triggered on by DI
DI _1 shorted DI –(Low) - LED On
DI_1 open (High) - LED Off
IRMode = controlled by RS485 Command (Pelco D – Aux 3 On/Off)
IR Led Force On - LED On
IR Led Force Off - LED Off
DO_1 as IR Status Feedback
LED On, DO_1 is grounded via MOSFET (DI- connected)
LED Off, DO_1 no input
VaIR Lens Zoom control
Dip Switch
4 congurations using the Dip Switch on the distribution board.
When Lens stops, its last position will be memoried,and when powered on again, lens will move to the
previous position. When powered on for the rst time, Lens will follow the DIP switch conguration.
Wiper & Wahser control)
DI_2 Trigger:
When DI_2 connected to DI- (Low), wiper and washer operate for 3 times and then stop.
Using RS485 Command –Wiper Only (Pelco D – Aux 1 On/Off)
Wiper On, wiper takes action
Wiper Off, wiper starts one operation and then stops.
RS485 Command –Wiper & Washer (Pelco D – Aux2 On/Off)
Wiper and Washer On, pumps and spray water with wiper action.
Wiper and Washer Off, spraying and wiping starts one operation and then stops.
DO2 used for spraying control
DO_2 connected to DI- via MOSFET - starts spraying.
Spraying stops, and the LED turns Off when DO_2 is not triggered.
