SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This information is provided to ensure your safety and to prevent physical
or nancial loss. Please read this document carefully before installing and
operating the camera.
1. Handle with care.
This camera is not designed to resist heavy impact. Use caution when
handling to avoid damage to sensitive internal components.
2. Do not install the camera under extreme temperatures.
This camera only operates under temperature conditions between
14˚F ~ 140˚F.
3. Do not mount the camera directly facing bright light sources.
Exposing the camera to strong light over long periods of time will damage
the camera’s sensor.
4. Do not supply voltage other than 12VDC.
Higher voltages will damage the camera’s electronic components.
5. Do not install the camera in environments with extreme humidity.
Installing the camera in environments with extreme humidity may cause
moisture to condense on the surface of the lens or dome cover, which can
affect picture quality.

• 960H 1/3” Color Sony Super HAD II CCD
The 960H Sony Super Had II CCD is ideal for low lux illumination resulting in a
clear and crisp image.
• Varifocal Auto-Iris Lens
This camera features a varifocal lens with a focal length of 2.8~12mm to offer
exibility during installation. The auto-iris function intuitively manages the amount
of light passing through the lens for consistent image brightness in varying light-
ing conditions.
•Built-In Infrared with Smart IR
IR LEDs provide the ability to capture images during night and low light condi-
tions. Smart IR prevents IR over-exposure when an object is close to the camera.
• 3-Axis Gimbal
A 3-axis gimbal design provides for a wide range of camera positioning angles
through mechanical adjustment for both wall and ceiling mount applications.
• Video Test Port
Adjust angle, zoom, and focus at the camera for fast and easy installation.

Wiring Recommendations
Wiring should be installed, terminated, and tested for connectivity before the camera is
installed. Specications for each connection are detailed below.
12V DC
Power In
BNC
Video Out
1. Power (Required)
It is recommended to install the camera power supply near the recording
location and run a remote power wire to the camera.
Use the voltage drop calculator at www.SnapAV.com to nd the correct gauge
for a given length of wire.
Pinout Wire Size (AWG) Power Requirements

—
Minimum 18 AWG
Calculate based on
voltage & wire length
12V DC ONLY
(Minimum 1 Amp
recommended)
Included WPS-ACC-PWR-M is illustrated to demonstrate the correct polarity for power. Any power
supply with the correct amperage and voltage output may be used.
Important Note! If voltage is incorrect or polarity is reversed, the camera will
protect itself and will not power on. If you notice this, disconnect the camera
from the power source immediately and verify if voltage and/or polarity is
correct.
2. BNC Video Output (Required)
Install coaxial cable for transmitting video to a DVR or display monitor.
Recommended Cable Connector Type
RG-59 or RG-6 75-ohm rated BNC connectors
Use a BNC-RCA adapter for composite input

Installation Instructions
Wiring must be installed before camera installation. See previous page for connections
and wiring recommendations.
Step 1. Prepare for Installation
Important! DO NOT remove the protective plastic lm from the inside or
outside of the camera dome until installation is complete and the camera
is being sealed for the last time.
A. Unpack the camera and locate the included foam gasket, hardware, mounting
template, silica packet, and 3mm Allen wrench. If a mounting accessory is being
used, unpack the accessory and become familiar with its installation and use.
B. Apply the self-adhesive foam gasket to the base of
the camera.
C. If the camera will be connected using the 3/4” con-
duit side entrance, remove the threaded plug and
route the wiring pigtail through the opening.
D. Use the 3mm Allen wrench to open the camera.
E. Review the lens angle-of-view limits and make sure
the camera location will allow it be aimed toward
the desired eld of view.
The setscrews for the gimbal should be factory preset to allow
adjustment without binding, but may be adjusted.

Step 2. Mount the Camera
Using Mounting Accessories
Refer to the accessory installation instructions to mount
the accessory, make wiring connections, and mount
the camera. Then, continue following these instructions
below at Step 3 to complete camera installation.
Surface Mounting
A. Use the included template to mark the screw loca-
tions on the mounting surface.
B. Connect the camera to the wiring and move it into
position. Avoid pinching the wires between the cam-
era and the mounting surface.
C. Use 3 of the included screws to secure the camera.
Insert the screws through the black gaskets over the
holes and hand-tighten them evenly.

Connection
Step 3. Final Adjustments
Now the camera can be powered on and tested. A
test monitor (like the Wirepath WPS-CCTV-TESTER) is
recommended for easier setup.
A. Connect the test monitor to the camera using the
included BNC test adapter, or at the head end using
the installed coax cable.
B. Adjust the zoom and focus using the manual adjust-
ments and position the gimbal to see the correct
view.
Step 4. Close the Camera
A silica desiccant packet is factory-installed in the
camera to trap humidity when the housing is sealed,
and a spare packet is included for installation.
A. Before closing the camera, remove the spare silica packet from its sealed foil
package (taking care not to rip the inner plastic packet) and place it inside
the camera, out of the lens' eld of view. Do not remove the existing silica gel
packet strapped inside the camera.
B. Close the camera dome and use the 3mm Allen wrench to tighten the screws
evenly. Remove the dome outer protective lm last.

TROUBLESHOOTING
If you have trouble operating the camera, rst refer to the following guidelines. If
the problem persists, contact Technical Support at [phone].
Nothing appears on the display:
• Check if the power for the camera and the monitor is ON.
• Check if the VIDEO cable is connected to the camera BNC video output jack.
• Check if the VIDEO cable is connected to the monitor VIDEO input jack.
Image appears dim on the display:
• Check the monitor contrast setting.
• Check the monitor brightness setting.
• Check the lens. If necessary, clean with a clean, dry eyeglass cloth.
• Check if the camera is facing toward a bright light. If so, change the camera
position.
• If a device exists between the camera and screen, conrm the signal accepted
by the screen is strong enough – 75 Ohm.
Image appears blurry on the display:
• Check inside and outside of the lens for scratches and dirt. Clean the lens using
a clean, dry eyeglass cloth.
• Verify that the lens is no more than 67° off center axis.
• Check the focus of the lens.
• Check the lens. If necessary, clean the inside of the dome to remove these
smudges using a dry, clean eyeglasses cloth.
• Conrm the rubber gasket is sealed against the inside of the dome housing.
The camera is not working properly and the camera housing is hot:
• Check if camera is connected to the correct power source.
Condensation appears on camera lens cover:
• Change the silica pack inside the camera housing.
Camera power cycles intermittently:
• Check voltage at camera for proper voltage level.
• Connect camera locally with a different power supply to test.
