- The device is designed for indoor and outdoor use (IP67).
Avoid the following adverse conditions during operation:
- Moisture or excess humidity
- Extreme heat or cold
- Direct sunlight
- Dust, flammable gases, vapours, or solvents
- Strong vibrations
- Strong magnetic fields (e.g. next to machines or loudspeakers)
- The camera must not be installed on unstable surfaces.
General safety information:
- Do not leave packaging material lying around. Plastic bags, sheeting, polystyrene packaging, etc., can pose a danger to children if played with.
- The video surveillance camera contains small parts which could be swallowed and must be kept out of the reach of children for safety reasons.
- Do not insert any objects into the device through the openings.
- Only use replacement devices and accessories that are approved by the manufacturer. Do not connect any non-compatible products.
- Please pay attention to the safety information and user manuals for the other connected devices.
- Check the device for damage before putting it into operation. Do not put the device into operation if you identify any damage.
- Adhere to the normal voltage limits specified in the technical data. Higher voltages could destroy the device and pose a health risk (electric shock).
Safety information
-
Power supply: Note the information provided on the type plate for supply voltage and power consumption.
-
Overloading
Avoid overloading electrical sockets, extension cables and adapters, as this can result in fires or electric shocks. -
Cleaning
Only use a damp cloth to clean the device. Do not use corrosive cleaning materials.
Disconnect the device from the power supply before cleaning.
Warnings
Observe all safety and operating instructions before putting the device into
operation for the first time.
- Observe the following information to avoid damage to the power cable and plug:
- Do not pull the cable when disconnecting the device from the power – always take hold of the plug.
- Ensure that the power cable is positioned as far away as possible from any heating equipment, as this could otherwise melt the plastic coating.
- Follow these instructions. Non-compliance with these instructions could lead to an electric shock.
- Never open the housing or power supply unit.
- Do not insert any metallic or flammable objects into the device.
- Use surge protection to prevent damage caused by overvoltage (e.g. in electrical storms).
- Disconnect defective devices from the power immediately and contact your specialist dealer.
| When installing the device in an existing video surveillance system, ensure
that all devices have been disconnected from the power supply and low-voltage
circuit.
---|---
| If in doubt, have a specialist technician carry out assembly, installation
and connection of the device. Improper or unprofessional work on the mains
network or domestic installations puts both you and others at risk.
Connect the installations so that the mains power circuit and low-voltage circuit always run separately from each other. They should not be connected at any point or become connected as a result of a malfunction.
Unpacking the device
Handle the device with extreme care when unpacking it.
****| If the original packaging has been damaged, inspect the device. If the
device shows signs of damage, return it in the original packaging and inform
the delivery service.

Mounting / Installation
Mounting the camera
IMPORTANT!
The camera must be disconnected from the power supply during installation.
Use the accompanying drilling template for drilling the mounting holes. An
opening is provided on the base plate of the mount for cabling at the side.
Use screw anchors and screws that are appropriate to the surface to fix the
camera in place.
Cabling can be at the side or hidden in the ceiling or wall.
Orientation of the camera, as described below, can now be performed. At this
point, an analogue test monitor may be connected to the camera (for test
purposes only). The monitor is connected either to the connecting cable on the
camera or to the underside of the camera using the supplied adapter.
Tighten the fixing screws again after orienting the camera.
Orientation of the camera
After orienting the camera, the zoom and focus settings can be applied using
the joystick on the underside of the camera or the analogue HD digital
recorder controls.
The IR range is strongly dependent on the environmental conditions. If the
area in the camera’s field of view reflects poorly or if there are no objects
within the max. illumination range, the brightness of the video image at night
may be too low. This will result in poor usability of the video image.
In addition, when installing the camera it must be ensured that no objects are
located in close proximity to the camera’s field of view (e.g. roof gutter or
wall). These objects can reflect back the IR light, resulting in circular
fading on the video image in the opposite direction to the object.
Power supply
IMPORTANT!
Before starting installation, ensure that the power supply voltage and the
rated voltage of the camera are identical.
The cameras require a 12 V DC or 24 V AC power supply. The polarity of the DC
voltage supply does not need to be observed!
Connecting the video cable
In order to transmit the HD-TVI video signal from the camera to a recorder, an
RG59 type coaxial cable with BNC connector (male) must be connected to the
connection labelled ‘TVI’. The cable length to the next device must not exceed
500 m.
To ensure optimum quality of the HD-TVI signal transmission, it is important
that the cable is neither kinked nor crushed at any point, and that its radius
is adequate (min. bending radius 6 cm).
Damage to the cable or porosity as a result of ageing can have a negative
impact on the quality of the signal or image (e.g. shadowing around the
edges).
On-screen display
Opening the on-screen display
This camera’s on-screen display can be opened using the ABUS HD-TVI DVR.
Please consult the user manual for the ABUS HD-TVI DVR.
Description of the on-screen display
Pressing the on-screen display control button opens the on-screen display.
This on-screen display allows you to adjust a number of detailed settings.

Exposure
This menu item allows you to adjust general exposure settings, e.g. whether
the camera should process high contrasts or whether the camera requires
special settings for night vision.
Function | Description |
---|---|
Brightness | (1~10): Picture brightness setting |
Exposure Mode | Global: General automatic exposure setting |
without WDR function
BLC: Automatic exposure setting with backlight compensation. The BLC function enhances the image display in the event of medium image contrast levels.
WDR: Automatic exposure setting with WDR function (wide dynamic range). The WDR function enables improved display of high image contrasts. This function also has a four-step setting for adjusting to the respective contrast conditions.
HLC: This function reduces overexposure caused by very bright light sources.
AGC| Automatic gain control. As the setting is increased, the video image appears lighter in poor lighting conditions, although the higher the setting the higher the image noise.
Off: Deactivated
Low: Low Medium: Medium High: High
Slow Shutter| (Off~X4): Continuous exposure setting. Longer exposure times for each image make the resulting image lighter. However, this results in a reduction in the frame rate (the longer the exposure time, the lower the frame rate).
Off: deactivated
X2/X4: Exposure time increased by a factor of x
Back| Return to previous menu screen
Save&Exit| Save and exit the menu
DAY NIGHT
