Installation

The installation tasks are explained using 4 steps.

Step 1 Fix the mount bracket and hang the camera

This Installation Guide explains the above  “Installing the camera to a ceiling that has adequate structural strength”. When you use mount brackets (optional accessory), read their operating instructions.

1. Process the installation surface.
   Decide the attachment position and bore holes for screws or anchors on the ceiling and a hole for wiring (ø25 mm {31/32 inches}) as occasion demands.

Note:

• The center point of the camera mount bracket (accessory) should be more than 100 mm {3-15/16 inches} away from obstacles such as a wall.
• The camera mount bracket (accessory) should be installed with its “⇧FRONT” mark in the i-PRO logo direction (shooting direction) after installation.

Attach the camera mount bracket using 4 fixing screws (M4: locally procured)

Remove the protective cap of each connecting terminal if the audio input and the audio output are used. Keep the removed protective caps for future
use. Minimum pull-out strength:
196 N {44 lbf} (per 1 pc.)

IMPORTANT
The protective caps are used to prevent dirt and dust from entering inside this product. Keep the protective caps inserted in connectors that are not used.

• Attach the safety wire fixed with the camera mount bracket to the camera. After attaching the safety wire to the camera, confirm that the ring part at the end of the safety wire is securely hooked on the safety wire holder.

Note

• The camera is not fixed temporarily. Take care not to hit the camera against periphery (especially the dome section).
• Retain a work space of 350 mm {1 ft 1-25/32 inches} or more from the ceiling when you hang the camera from the ceiling.

Process the decorative cover (accessory) as necessary
Remove the cutout part on the decorative cover when directly attaching the cable to a ceiling with open wiring. Install the camera and wire through
the cutout part of the decorative cover as shown in the illustration below when you finally fit the decorative cover.

IMPORTANT

• To prevent an injury and protect the cable, finish the side through hole for the cable with a file so that it does not become sharp.
• Make sure that no cable is pinched by the decorative cover when installing it.

Step 2 Making connections

Refer to the Important Information on the provided CD-ROM for details about each cable.

• As necessary, use a cable tie (locally procured) to tie the cables together.
• Make sure to use the stereo mini plug.

Note

• Since the space around the connector is limited, use audio cables and an Ethernet cable that do not exceed the sizes described in the illustrations.
  

IMPORTANT

• Turn off each system’s power supply (PoE hub or device to supply power to the camera) before making a connection.
• The 12 V DC power supply shall be insulated from the commercial AC power.

1. Connect an Ethernet cable (category 5e or better, straight) to the network connector.
2. If needed, connect a microphone or the line out of an external device to the audio input connector.
3. If needed, connect a powered speaker to the audio output connector.

Note

• The audio output can be switched to the monitor output. The default is “Audio”. Refer to the “Operating Instructions” on the provided CD-ROM for descriptions of how to switch the output.
• If the audio output is used for the monitor output, connect a ø3.5 mm stereo mini connector (locally procured) to the wire as shown in the right figure and use it.

When connecting an AC adaptor or an external power supply, use the power cable plug (accessory) to connect it to the camera.

1. Remove 3 mm – 7 mm {1/8 inches – 9/32 inches} of the outer jacket of the cable for the AC adaptor, expose the wire more and twist the stripped part of the wire sufficiently. When connecting an external power supply to the camera, use the 16 AWG to 24 AWG single-wired
   or stranded wired cables.

2. Loosen the screws of the power cable plug and insert the wire for the AC adaptor into the plug.

3. Tighten the screw of the power cable plug. (Recommended tightening torque: 0.34 N· m {0.25 lb f·ft})

4. Install the power cable plug into the camera.

Caution

• A READILY ACCESSIBLE DISCONNECT DEVICE SHALL BE INCORPORATED TO THE EQUIPMENT POWERED BY 12 V DC POWER SUPPLY.
• ONLY CONNECT 12 V DC CLASS 2 POWER SUPPLY (UL 1310/CSA 223) or LIMITED POWER SOURCE (IEC/EN/UL/CSA 60950-1).

If needed, connect the alarm input/output cables to the EXT I/O terminals.
Connect the cables of external devices to the EXT I/O terminal.

1.  Remove 8 mm – 9 mm {5/16 inches – 11/32 inches} of the outer jacket of the cable and twist the cable core to prevent the short circuit first. Specification of cable (wire): 20 AWG – 26 AWG, Single core, twisted
2. Push down the button of the desired terminal on the external I/O terminal plug with a ballpoint pen, and release the button when the cable of the external device is fully inserted into the terminal hole.

External I/O terminal

Note

• Do not connect 2 wires or more directly to a terminal. When it is necessary to connect 2 or more wires, use a splitter.
• Check whether the stripped part of the wire is not exposed and is securely connected.
• The default of EXT I/O terminals is “Off”. Refer to the Operating Instructions on the provided CD-ROM for further information about the EXT I/O terminal settings.

Step 3 Fixing the camera

Mount the camera onto the camera mount bracket (accessory) and fix it temporarily.

1. Remove the protective tube (for protection during transportation) covering the lock plate.
2.  Fit the lock plate of the camera onto the guide part of the camera mount bracket, rotate the camera clockwise by 20 ° as seen from the bottom and fix it temporarily after inserting the camera while putting the center of the camera onto the center of the camera mount bracket.

IMPORTANT

• When mounting the camera onto the camera mount bracket, hold the fixed section of the unit. Mounting the camera while holding the dome section may result in malfunction.

Fix the camera on the camera mount bracket using the camera fixing screw (M3, accessory).
Recommended tightening torque: 0.68 N· m {0.50 lbf ·ft}
Wires connected to the camera are omitted in the illustrations.

Motion of the decorative cover (accessory) when it is fitted.

When attaching the decorative cover to the camera, 3 tabs on the inside of the decorative cover are passed through the guides on the side of the camera and fixed.

Enlarged view of the guide part

Install the decorative cover by the following 2 steps,【 3】,【 4】,【 5】 and【 6】,【 7).

Match the “❘” position of the decorative cover to the arrow of the unit, and then slightly push up the decorative cover while holding the lower part of the decorative cover.

• Push the decorative cover up until it is approx. 10 mm {13/32 inches} from the ceiling, and then turn the decorative cover by approx. 16 ° in the direction of the arrow (clockwise as seen from the bottom) of the figure below.

• After completing, push up the decorative cover to the ceiling until it covers all of the fixed section of the unit.

• Turn the decorative cover further an angle of 16 ° (in the arrow direction of the upper-right figure) clockwise as seen from the bottom to secure the cover.
  IMPORTANT:

• Make sure that no cable is pinched by the decorative cover.

Make sure that all of the end part of the locking arm has come out from the hole in the decorative cover.

Remove the cover film from the lens after the installation is completed, and then turn on the camera.

IMPORTANT

• Once the camera is turned on, it starts to be initialized and panning/tilting/zoom/ focus automatically operate. Do not touch the dome section with your hand while the camera is rotating.

Detach the camera

Detach the decorative cover (accessory) from the camera by following Step 3 “Fixing the camera” (Left) in the reverse order of【 3】→【7】.

1. Turn the decorative cover by approx. 16 ° in the direction of the arrow (counterclockwise) as illustrated while pushing down the locking arm with a tip of the ball-point pen, and pull it slightly down from the ceiling.
2. Turn the decorative cover a further 16 ° in the direction of the arrow (counterclockwise) as illustrated, and then remove the decorative cover.

IMPORTANT

• Hold the decorative cover with both hands when removing it.

• Detach the 12 V DC power cable plug (accessory) or the Ethernet cable from the camera (When using PoE), and then turn off the power of the camera.
  IMPORTANT:

• Before turning off the camera power, make sure that the SD MOUNT indicator is turned off. If you turn off the camera power while the SD MOUNT indicator is lit or flashing, the recorded data may be corrupted or damaged.
