INSTALL MOUNTING
PLATE Secure the Mounting Plate to a compatible conduit box (Single Gang,
Double Gang, 3-1/4″ & 3-1/2″, or 4″ Oct/Rd) using the screws that came with
the conduit box, or mount to a solid surface using the 4 screws included with
this camera.
NOTE: It is recommended to use drywall anchors if mounting to drywall. Drywall anchors not included.
REMOVE DOME COVER
Hold the dome cover with one hand while gripping the finger grip tabs on the
bottom of the camera base. Turn the finger grip tabs (camera base) counter-
clockwise to separate it from the dome cover.
CONNECT CABLES
Make connections to the BNC cable and the power connection. Feed any cable
slack into the mounting surface. A Power LED (on the circuit board) will
illuminate GREEN when the camera is receiving correct power. To ensure quality
operation, verify proper BNC and power termination, along with proper voltage
at camera.
Default Analog Output: CVBS
Analog Output Selectable: (CVBS I A_HD I G_VI I T_VI) Refer to included “HD
ANALOG” page for information on changing signal type.
RVM – Rated Voltage Monitoring

ATTACH CAMERA TO MOUNTING PLATE
Attach the camera to the mounting plate by aligning the hooks on the mounting
plate to the tabs on the camera base. Twist the camera base clockwise to lock
it in place.
TEST MONITOR / OSO CONTROL
To test the camera with a test monitor use either the supplied Test Monitor
BNC Lead or optional CE-REMOTE. The Test Monitor BNC Lead plugs into the
small, 2 PIN connector (marked CN2) next to the wide 12 wire connection on the
circuit board. The CE-REMOTE plugs into the DIN Port. OSD Adjustment can be
made by using the OW Joystick or the optional CE-REMOTE. Refer to OSD Manual
for detailed instructions on adjusting camera settings.
NOTICE
The test monitor connection on the CE-REMOTE and the 2-pin connector on the
camera board will match the output from the main Analog connector. If the
camera is set to an HD Analog option, ensure the test monitor will support
that signal type.
CAMERA ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
Adjust the angle of the camera as necessary.
A. Lens Rotation: Rotate the U-Bracket on the gimbal to adjust.
B. Lens Angle: Loosen thumb screws on each side to adjust the tilt of the
lens.
C. Camera Plate Rotation: Pinch the gimbal U-Bracket and rotate the
camera assembly on the base.
ZOOM/FOCUS ADJUSTMENT
Loosen the appropriate adjustment lever by turning counter-clockwise. To widen
the viewing angle (zoom the image out), rotate the ZOOM lever to the RIGHT
(Counter-clockwise). To narrow the viewing angle (zoom the image in), rotate
the ZOOM lever to the LEFT (Clockwise). Adjust the focus near or far as needed
by moving the FOCUS lever Left or Right to focus the lens.
After zoom /focus adjustments have been made, tighten the adjustment levers to lock the adjustments. %Lens shown and adjustments may vary depending on camera model.
REPLACE DOME COVER
Carefully replace the dome cover onto the camera assembly by twisting the dome
cover clockwise to lock into place. For standard/non-IR cameras with a dome
mask, it may be necessary to rotate the clear dome slightly to align the cut
out in the mask with the lens.
