Safety precautions
4. Select a proper location and use safe hoist for installing PTZ speed dome cameras.
5. Confirm that the hoist is capable of lifting to the installation position.
6. Proper protective measures must be provided in the hoist, for protecting engineering staffs.
7. Confirm that power supply is 110V/220V. Ensure safety precautions for preventing electric shock.
Warning indications for use
1. When using this product, please follow the local electrical appliance regulations for safety
concern.
2. This product is using DC12V power input, for safety of use; do not use any power supply other
than that specified.
3. For the safety of the engineering staffs, apply power only upon completion of installation.
Requirements for Operation environment
Environmental requirements for indoor type speed dome PTZ cameras:
a. Environment temperature: -10°C to +50°C

Precautions on installation
1. Basic requirements for installation
Follow local regulations about installation safety request.
Check out if accessories are complete. Optional accessories are required for different installation sites.
Please contact your local distributors for proper installation accessories, so that the camera could be
installed safely without causing danger.
Check if the installation location is of sufficient height.
Check if the installation location is strong enough for supporting cameras. Make sure installation spots
(ceiling or wall) is of sufficient strength to support the camera and bracket without immediate danger of
falling.
2. Cable standards
Coaxial cable for image signal:
Select proper cable length for your installation distance. Recommended spec. is as follows:
a. RG59/U: 750ft (230 meters)
b. RG61/U: 1000ft (305 meters)
c. RG11/U: 1500ft (457 meters)
3. RS485 cable
Please comply with RS485 wiring standards and select proper RS485 cable. Improper cable may result in
RS485 communication transmission error, which may cause speed dome PTZ cameras to react incorrectly.
Please pay much attention to this prior to installation.
When thinner or lower anti-interference RS485 cable is used for connecting the camera, the maximum
transmission distance may be shortened and vice versa.
Standard rule for RS485 transmission distance:

WH-M100/ WH-M150/ WH-M300/ WH-M500 network camera User Manual
When using 20AWG (Belden 8760) Shielded Twisted Pair Cable, different control Baud Rate will have
different transmission distance performance, the ideal is as below table:
Baud rate Max. Transmission Distance
2400 1200 meters
4800 1000 meters
9600 800 meters
More details will be given in the follow-up sections
4. Setting of Camera Position Code
Prior to installation, setup ID address and communication protocol of your camera firstly, and then
you can install it. While when re-setting of ID or protocol is necessary after installation, please avoid
such resetting when power of camera is “ON” and please POWER-OFF firstly the camera before
resetting, then this new resetting will become valid.
5. Self Test of Camera
Before installing this camera, please execute camera self-testing as following: when powering on the
dome camera, it will automatically execute tilt up/down scanning, then pan horizontal scanning for
around 20~30 seconds, then camera will stop at the Preset Point 1. Upon completion of these, the
speed dome PTZ camera is in normal condition.
6. Please keep the original packaging
After unpacking the dome camera, take good care of the original packaging. In case any problem
occurred, it can be used to re-pack cameras for returning to the local distributor or manufacturer for
repair.
7. Remove protection materials before supplying power to the camera, so as to prevent it from
faulty operation or causing mechanical errors.

Step 2:
Electrification test
a. Before connecting the power, make a final check to confirm correct wiring.
b. When powering on the camera, it will automatically execute self testing by doing firstly Tilt
up/down scanning, and then Pan horizontal scanning, then camera will stop at the Preset Point 1.
Upon completion of these, the self testing is well done.
Precautions
This product is normally installed in an elevated position. Installation work should comply with local safe
regulations.
Proper safety precautions and protective measures shall be taken for installing the camera.
For the personnel safety sake, carry out electrification and product test only after completion of
installation work.
Using IR Remote Control Function
This PTZ dome camera has built-in IR Receiver, which will allow user to use our IR Remote Controller
(Model: WH-RT100, optional device) to control the movement of Mini Speed Dome PTZ Camera. (The
operation of such IR Remote Controller can be found on the user’s manual of WH-RT100)
RS485 Wiring Method
Two RS485 wiring methods can be used according to actual needs. We recommend the following wiring
methods for avoiding mal function of RS485 control.
1. RS485 serial connection
This method connects speed dome PTZ cameras in sequential manner where the first camera connects
to the second and then the second to the third, and so on until the last one. A terminal resistance is
connected to the last camera to form a closed loop, see the following illustration:

PELCO
When using RS485 serial connection, the max. in one serial connection is to connect up to 32 pieces of
speed dome, if over 32 pieces of speed dome, then please use “RS485 Aster Connection” method together
with our WH-810 (8 port RS485 distributor) to diversify the number of speed dome in one single serial
connection, in order to make sure the stability of the complete control system.
2. RS485 aster Connection
This is the most common method in practical installation work. In the aster connection, if a RS485
distributor is not utilized, it is likely to have reflected signal and to lower the ability of resisting
interference. This may cause mal functioning of the control signal that results in faulty control of the
camera or unstopping operation when the control signal is stopped.
In such cases, we recommend to use our WH-810 RS485 Distributor. This product can effectively convert
the aster connection into the correct connection method that meets RS485 requirements to acquire optimal
communication reliability. See the following diagram for reference.

RS485 Common Troubleshooting
Error Possible Causes Solutions
Able to do self-test on
initial electrification,
but is unable to be
controlled
1. Keyboard’s (or DVR’s)
communication protocol is not
consistent with camera’s
Alter protocols for consistency
A. Keyboard’s (or DVR’s) baud
rate is not consistent with
camera’s
Alter baud rates for consistency
B. RS485 polarity error Switch polarity of RS485 pins
C. RS485 bad wire connection Re-check RS485 wiring
Control of camera is
working, but not
smoothly
1. Mainframe is too far from
cameras Check wires for error. Or set terminal resistance at the last
camera.
2. RS485 has a disconnected wire Replace RS485 cable
3. Too many cameras are
paralleled Install an RS485 distributor
Power-on but no
video output 1. Contact ofAC24V power is not good. 1. Check the connection of AC24V whether as normal
2. the Voltage ofAC24V adapter is
too low. 2. Check whether the voltage of power input to speed dome is
AC24V, if not, please use the
adapter which is more than
AC24V voltage (but no more
than AC28V, otherwise it will
burn the camera)
Please follow the settings as the diagram shown to the left.
