General Precautions

Please read this manual carefully before installing the camera and keep it in a safe place and in good condition for future consultation and maintenance of the camera itself.
The installation must be carried out in an appropriate way and place, in order to ensure the correct functioning of the device and the best image quality.
The installation and maintenance of the camera must be carried out only by qualified technical personnel and in full compliance with the safety regulations in force.
There are no parts inside the equipment that may be subject to maintenance by the User. All maintenance interventions must only be carried out by authorized and qualified personnel.
Strictly follow the installation criteria dictated by the rule of common sense and degree of protection of the equipment IP66 / IP67 (CEI 60 529) depending on the model and in any case away from the possibility of being immersed in water.
Keep the front glass or plexiglass clean at all times to ensure the best image quality. Be especially careful not to leave fingerprints or streaks on the glass. If necessary, clean the plexiglass with a soft, damp cloth to avoid scratches. Do not use abrasive cleaners or cloths.
If any kind of liquid enters the camera, it must be disconnected from the power supply immediately and have it checked by an authorized technician before restarting it.
Do not install the camera in places subject to temperatures at the limit of operation of the device or in places with high air humidity.
Do not install the camera in places where there are gas or oil vapors.
Do not install the camera in places subject to unstable lighting conditions. Considerable variations in light or worse, the “flickering” of a neon lamp can compromise the normal operation of the device.
Never touch the camera with wet hands for any reason.
Do not expose the camera to radioactive sources as it will cause serious damage to the sensor.
Be especially careful NOT to use any power sources other than those specified.
Do not aim the camera lens at strong light sources that could damage the sensor and produce the “Blooming” and “Smear” effects.
During the installation phase, avoid pointing the IR LEDs directly at the eyes (if they are on).
Make sure that the camera has not been damaged or has suffered external shocks during transport, storage or installation.

Limitations and Disclaimer of Warranty

In no case will the retailer be liable to any other party or person for the following:

Personal damage or any damage caused by inappropriate use or negligence on the part of the User.
Unauthorized disassembly, repair or modification of the product by the User.
Incidents or losses resulting from cases in which images are not displayed, for any reason or motivation including any type of product failure or problem.
Any problems, resulting in inconvenience, loss or damage, arising from the system in combination with third party devices.

Connections

Make sure the camera is not powered before making connections.

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.

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.

Power connection

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
(Ώ/m)| 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.

Video signal switching

Joystick:
To switch to other video format, push the button for 5 seconds for to have:
To [LEFT] for AHD video format.
To [RIGHT] for TVI video format.
To [UP] for CVBS video format.
To [DOWN] for CVI video format.

Function available only for camera models equipped with Joystick

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.

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.

Bullet type camera

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.

Dome type camera

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.

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.
