Preparations

Prepare the required parts for each installation method before starting the installation. The following are the requirements for the various installation methods.

IMPORTANT:

• Procure 4 screws (M4) to secure the attachment plate (accessory) to a ceiling or a wall.

• The minimum required pull-out capacity of a single screw or anchor bolt is 196 N {44 lbf} or more when mounting with the installation method【 Type 1】 or【 Type 2】 described in the right table.

• Select screws according to the material of the location that the camera will be mounted to.
  In this case, wood screws and nails should not be used.

• If the mounting location such as plaster board is too weak to support the total weight, the area shall be sufficiently reinforced.

When using WV-Q174B camera ceiling mount bracket, if the built-in microphone port is blocked by the cover of bracket, the collectable volume may decrease and the sound of attic is likely to be collected by mistake. Therefore, please confirm the installation conditions before use. S2130

Installation

The installation tasks are explained using 6 steps.

Remove the camera using the reverse order of the installation procedures.

Step 1 Fixing the attachment plate

There are 2 methods to install the camera to a ceiling or wall.

Common

Note:

•  Attach the attachment plate (accessory) so that the marking (part number) faces toward the ceiling or wall to be installed.

Type

1. Mount the camera on the two-gang junction box using the attachment plate (accessory).
2. Directly mount the camera onto the ceiling or wall using the attachment plate (accessory).
   Align the FRONT direction of the template A (accessory) with the desired direction, and drill through a 25.4 mm {1 inch} diameter hole to attach the attachment plate. Then, the direction of the marker “FRONT⇩” on the camera (see the figure in [3] of “Step 4 Mount the camera”) should face the desired direction of the camera.

1 If the mounting direction of the camera is not determined yet or if you want to change the direction of the camera after it has been installed
If you want to be able to change the direction of the camera, drill through a 73 mm {2-7/8 inches} diameter hole in the center. By doing so you can adjust the mounting direction of the camera in 90° increments.

Step 2 Remove the enclosure from the camera.

1. Remove the enclosure and cushion from the camera.
2. Remove the power cord plug (accessory) and the external I/O terminal plug (accessory) attached to the camera. S2131L S2111L

WV-S2231L / WV-S2211L

• Do not remove the auxiliary wire.

Using the side cable access hole
When installing the camera directly on the ceiling or wall with cables exposed, or when mounting the camera using the ceiling mount bracket WV-Q174B (option), cut out a portion of the dome cover to open a cable access hole.

IMPORTANT:

• To prevent injuries and protect the cables, finish the side cable access hole with a file to avoid sharp edges.

Step 3 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.

Note:

• Since the connector storage section does not have a sufficient space, use audio cables S2131L S2111L 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. S2131L S2111L

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.S2131L S2111L

3. If needed, connect a powered speaker to the audio output connector. S2131L S2111L
   Note:

   • The audio output can be switched to the monitor output. Refer to the “Operating Instructions” on the provided CD-ROM for descriptions of how to switch the output.

4. When connecting an AC adaptor or an external power supply, use the power cable plug (accessory) to connect it to the camera. S2131L S2111L
   Caution:

5. A READILY ACCESSIBLE DISCONNECT DEVICE SHALL BE INCORPORATED TO THE EQUIPMENT POWERED BY 12 V DC POWER SUPPLY.

6. ONLY CONNECT 12 V DC CLASS 2 POWER SUPPLY (UL 1310/CSA 223) or LIMITED POWER SOURCE (IEC/EN/UL/CSA 60950-1).

7. Loosen the screw of the power cable plug (accessory), strip 3 mm to 7 mm {1/8 inches to 9/32 inches} from the end of the wire, twist the stripped part of the wire sufficiently to avoid short circuit, and then connect the output cable to the power cable plug (accessory).
   When connecting an external power supply to the camera, use the 16 AWG to 24 AWG singlewired or stranded wired cables.

8. Tighten the screw of the power cable plug (accessory).
   (Recommended tightening torque: 0.34 N·m {0.25 lbf·ft})

9. Connect the power cable plug to the camera.

10. If needed, connect the alarm input/output cables to the EXT I/O terminal plug (accessory). S2131L S2111L
    Connect the cables of external devices to the EXT I/O terminal plug (accessory).

11. When connecting an external device, 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

12. 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 plug

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 4 Mount the camera

1. Align the OPEN mark of the camera side panel with the tab of the attachment plate, insert 2 attachment mounting screws into the attachment plate, and rotate the camera by approximately 15°. The LOCK mark is moved to the tab position of the attachment plate and the camera is temporarily secured.
   The fixing angle of this unit can be adjusted in the interval of 90°.

2. Secure the camera by tightening the camera fixing screw (red).
   IMPORTANT:

   • Be sure to tighten the camera fixing screw. Failure to observe this may cause camera trouble due to camera falling.
     (Recommended tightening torque: 0.78 N·m {0.58 lbf·ft})

3. Loosen the cross-head side of tilt table fixing screw (on one side), and incline the tilt table while keeping the TOP mark on the camera lens head facing the front (i.e. the direction of FRONT mark on the camera).

4. Unhook each piece of four nails provided at both sides of the inner cover from the tilting table by pressing surroundings of the PUSH mark of the cover, and remove the inner cover. S2111L S2130
   Note:

   • When using WV-S2231L / WV-S2131L / WV-S2131LRF /WV-S2131LEG / WV-S2131, do not remove the inner cover.

5. Connect the MONITOR OUT conversion plug (accessory) to the MONITOR OUT terminal of the camera, and then connect the monitor for adjustment with a RCA pin cable (locally procured).

6. Insert an SD memory card into the slot, if necessary. S2131L S2111L
