Connections
4.1 Connecting the video signal
The video cable is connected to the female bayonet BNC connector, which is
then taken to the monitor or DVR in general via RG59 type coaxial cable and
BNC connector. Twisted pair cables can also be used with balun converters.
4.2 Power connection
Check that the power supply is correct and provided for the camera model used.
The use of adequate power supply units is recommended. 12Vdc / 1A or 12Vdc /
1,5A stabilized is recommended. The pin required is the standard 5.5 mm. Be
careful to use STABILIZED power supplies that supply 12V in any load
condition. The use of a power supply voltage other than 12VDC can generate
video disturbances and in the worst cases damage the camera. Beware of power
extension cables that are too long or have a small section, which could
introduce an excessive voltage drop, especially when the IR illuminator is
turned on. It is good practice to connect and power the camera only at the end
of the installation.
The values expressed in the following table are to be considered at a temperature of 20 ° C [68 ° F].
Conductors section
(AWG)| 24 AWG
(0,22mm2)| 22 AWG
(0,33mm2)| 20 AWG
(0,52mm2)| 18 AWG
(0,83mm2)
---|---|---|---|---
Resistance value
(Wm)| 0.078| 0.050| 0.030| 0.018
Voltage drop
( V/m)| 0.028| 0.018| 0.011| 0.006
As the copper conductor section increases, there is a decrease in the
resistance value () / m) and therefore in the voltage drop on the cable
itself. Therefore, consider carefully the length and section of the cable
during the design phase.
Excessive distances between the power supply and the camera could compromise
the correct functioning of the camera.
The acceptable standard of variation of the supply voltage is 12Vdc ± 10%
The voltage drop value on the cable may slightly deviate from the above values
as it may depend on the quality of the cable and on the manufacturer.
The voltage drop value on the cable may slightly deviate from the above values
as it may depend on the quality of the cable and on the manufacturer.

Installation
This section indicates how to install the camera on a ceiling or wall with
protected cable passage.
Check the solidity of the structure on which you intend to fix the camera,
mark the points with a pencil and drill the holes necessary for its fastening.
Attention:
The plugs supplied cover most of the fixing cases, but may not be suitable for
the type of support (wall / ceiling) that you are about to use to fix the
camera.
5.1 Bullet type camera
The bullet cameras are equipped with an integrated bracket for wall mounting,
specially designed to allow the passage of cables inside it and protect them
from tampering attempts. The camera is generally mounted at the cable outlet
so as not to leave exposed cables. However, the fixing base also has a
lateral cable outlet slot if the cables come from the side in the external
duct. The bracket must be fixed to the wall or ceiling with the plugs
provided.
5.2 Dome type camera
Dome cameras consist of the camera unit and the fixing base which are screwed
together. Before proceeding with the assembly, the fixing base must be
unscrewed, separating it from the camera body.
Generally, no tools are needed to unscrew the fixing base from the camera
body, however, if this is tightened too deeply, you can help yourself by
placing a rigid rod, such as a screwdriver, between the two lateral cable
outlet slots located in the base. The fixing base, separated from the camera,
is fixed to the wall or to the wall with plugs in correspondence with the
cable outlet hole and the camera body is subsequently screwed onto it. Before
tightening fully, correctly orient the viewing angle.
5.3 Framing adjustment
Once correctly fixed to the wall / ceiling, point it in the desired direction
and lock it (it may vary from model to model) by tightening the screws with
the supplied Allen key.
5.4 Focal adjustment
Fixed lens cameras (IR up to 20m) do not require focus as they are factory set
for most applications. Cameras with adjustable lenses are equipped with 2
external screws that allow you to adjust the lens focal length and focus
without having to open the camera casing. Initially act on the ZOOM screw and
adjust the width of the frame (wide angle / zoom) according to the area to be
framed. Remember that a greater wide angle inevitably corresponds to less
image detail. Once the field of view has been defined, use the FOCUS screw to
perfectly focus the framed area. Remember that each lens has its own depth of
field so that only a portion of the space in front of the camera can be
perfectly focused. Concentrate on the most important area to adjust the focus
in the best way.
ATTENTION: The focus screws have a limit switch block that prevents the drive rings from coming out of their seat. It is necessary not to force beyond the limit switch to avoid damaging the adjustment mechanism.
Function available only for camera models equipped with varifocal lens
To ensure excellent image quality even in low light conditions, all models
are equipped with a Day & Night function with removal of the IR filter to
automatically switch from color to B / W and vice versa. In addition, all
models are equipped with integrated 850nm IR LED illuminators, for adequate
illumination of the area being shot. Be careful not to install the camera very
close to strong light sources or in places subject to reflection of light that
could compromise the correct vision of the camera.
