• In order to prevent injury, the product must be securely mounted to a wall or ceiling according to Installation Guide.

• Installation area for this product
  Select an appropriate place for the installation area (such as a strong wall or ceiling) in your particular environment.

  • Make sure that the installation area is strong enough to hold this product, such as a concrete ceiling.
  • Install the camera in the foundation area of the architecture or where sufficient strength is assured.
  • Do not mount the product on a plaster board or a wooden section because they are too weak. If the product is unavoidably mounted on such a section, the section shall be sufficiently reinforced.

• This camera is designed to be used indoors
  This product is not operable outdoors. Do not expose this camera to direct sunlight for hours and do not install the
  product near a heater or an air conditioner. Otherwise, it may cause deformation, discoloration and malfunction.
  Keep this camera away from water and moisture.

• This product is designed to be installed under eaves.
  Install the product in areas that do not receive direct sunlight.

• Do not place this product in the following places

  • Locations where a chemical agent is used such as a swimming pool
  • Locations subject to moisture or oil smoke such as a kitchen
  • Locations that have a specific environment that is subject to an inflammable atmosphere or solvents
  • Locations where a radiation, an X-ray, a strong radio wave or a strong magnetic field is generated
  • Locations near coasts directly subjected to sea breezes, or locations subject to corrosive gases such as from hot springs, volcanic regions, etc.
  • Locations where the temperature is not within the specified range
  • Locations subject to vibrations, such as on vehicles, marine vessels, or above product lines (This product is not designed for on-vehicle use.)
  • Locations where it may get directly wet from rain or water splash (including under the eaves, etc.)
  • Locations subject to moisture or dust
  • Locations subject to sudden changes in temperature such as near air discharge vents of air conditioners or air circulation inlet door
  • Locations subject to condensation as the result of severe changes in temperature (In case of installing the product in such locations, the dome cover may become foggy or condensation may be caused on the cover.) Locations near rubber products (packing, rubber feet, etc.)

• Screw tightening
  Do not use an impact driver. Use of an impact driver may damage the screws or cause tightening excessively.

• About reflection of light from outside or IR light
  A ghost may appear on the screen depending on the incident angle of external light. In the case of using the IR light, installation of a camera near a wall may cause reflection of infrared rays resulting in a part of the screen or the entire screen turning whitish.

  • Refer to our support website for image examples and measures to take.

• Take notice of humidity
  Install this product when the humidity is low. If installation is performed when it is raining or in very humid conditions, the inside may be affected by humidity, causing mist-over inside the dome cover.

Direction marker for installation (FRONT ⇩)

Step1 Preparations

1.  Loosen enclosure fixing screws (3 places), and remove the enclosure from the camera.
   Loosen the screws using the bit (accessory).
   Loosen the screws using a Phillips screwdriver. The right illustrations are examples of WV LA and WV- LA.

2. Remove the cable for easy kitting
   Do not use for actual installation.

3.  Remove the packaging from the inside of the dome cover.

4. If necessary, insert a microSD memory card by referring to “Insert/remove a microSD memory card”.

Step2 Processing the installation surface
Drill a hole in the installation surface. (2 screw holes / 1 cable access hole).

Note:

• When installing on a wall, make a hole so as to face the “⇧TOP” mark of the template to the upper side.
• When installing on a ceiling, make a hole so as to face the “⇩FRONT” mark of the template to the front side of the camera (in the direction of i-PRO logo).
• When running the cable using the side cable access hole of the camera, it is unnecessary to make a cable access hole on the installation surface.

Step3 Making connections
IMPORTANT:

• Devices to which power can be supplied to this product are PoE hub and PoE power supplying equipment.
• Turn off each system’s power supply before making a connection.

Ethernet cable

• Ethernet cable (category 5e or better, straight, 4 pairs (8 pins))
• External dimension: ø5 mm {ø3/16 inches} – ø6.5 mm {ø1/4 inches}

IMPORTANT:

• Do not install the camera where the RJ45 waterproof connector is exposed to constant rain or moisture.
• When removing the RJ45 waterproof connector, be sure to remove it with the reverse procedure of connection.
• When the Ethernet cable is disconnected once, reconnect the cable after around 2 seconds. When the cable is quickly reconnected, the power may not be supplied from the PoE device.

Step4 Mount the camera

• Mount the camera on a wall or a ceiling
  Secure the camera with fixing screws (2 pcs.) (M4: locally procured). Minimum pull-out strength: 196 N {44 lbf}

• Mount the camera to a junction box

• When running the cables to the side, remove the cable cover.

Step5 Adjustment

1. Turn on the camera and remove the protection fi lm from the lens.
2. Download and launch the IP Setting Software and connect to the network by following information described on our support website <Control No.: 0123>.
3. Adjust the camera direction. Adjust the horizontal (PAN) angle, vertical (TILT) angle, and azimuth (YAW) angle while watching the screen of the PC on the network. Horizontal (PAN)angle : ±175° Vertical (TILT) angle : –30° to +80° Azimuth(YAW) angle : ±100°
   • Hold the TILT fixing screw on the both sides of the camera with fingers and adjust the horizontal (PAN) angle. Rotate until the “Long protrusion” on the azimuth adjustment ring at the bottom of the camera part is turned at the opposite side of the image capturing direction.
   • Incline the TILT angle largely once and then adjust the azimuth (YAW) angle. After adjusting the azimuth (YAW) angle, adjust the vertical (TILT) angle again.

Note:

• When the camera is installed on a wall, the gradient viewed from the camera is backwards. Images displayed from the camera can be reversed by setting “Image rotation” to “180° (Upside-down)” in the setup menu.
  For information about configuring “Image rotation” in the setup menu, refer to the Operating Instructions.

• When the vertical angle is adjusted closer to level, a part of image may be seen double or a part of the camera may be seen on the screen or reflection of infrared ray may be seen on the screen during image capturing at night. In these cases, make the vertical angle smaller or adjust the zoom ratio.

• When adjusting the camera, do not touch IR LED sheets with your fingers.

• Attach the enclosure and secure it by tightening the enclosure fixing screws (3 places).
  Adjust the direction of the enclosure so as to match the claw of the enclosure with the groove of the camera base.
  Tighten the screws using the bit (accessory).
  Recommended tightening torque: 0.70 N·m {0.52 lbf·ft}
  Tighten the screws using a Phillips head screwdriver.
  Recommended tightening torque: 0.70 N·m {0.52 lbf·ft}

• After complete installation, remove the protection fi lm from the dome cover.

Insert / remove a microSD memory card

Insert a microSD memory card

• Remove the enclosure from the camera.
• Insert the microSD memory card into the end of the microSD slot and confirm that a clicking sound is made.

Note:

• Back end of the microSD memory card does not protrude over the surface line of the microSD slot.

3. Attach the enclosure to the camera again.

Remove a microSD memory card
When removing a microSD memory card, reverse the procedure.

• Remove the enclosure from the camera.
• Push the microSD memory card until a click sound is heard and then remove it from the socket.
• When removing, hold it by pinching the both ends of the rear end of the card with fingers. At this point, be careful not to let the memory card pop out and drop.
• Attach the enclosure to the camera again.

IMPORTANT:

• When removing a microSD memory card, make sure to set “SD memory card” to “Not use” on the [SD memory card] tab of the setup menu before removing the microSD memory card. After removing the memory card, set back the “SD memory card” to “Use”. For information about the setup menu, refer to the Operating Instructions.

Note:
