Installation

The Vega 2050 series is supplied ready-to-fit; it can be powered via PoE (RJ-45 or direct wiring), providing a plug and play experience. Easy connection points are provided on two circuit boards in the housing chamber. It is important to ensure that the housing is not opened or re-sealed under damp or wet conditions, as moisture may settle inside the housing chamber. This section details the physical installation and mounting of the housing assembly.

Wall Bracket (Standard fitting):

• Use the three mounting holes to fix the bracket to the wall (Fig 1); the bracket can be removed from the housing body to aid fixing, by removing the Pivot Ball (shown below). The upper-left and bottom holes are elongated to aid levelling during fixing.
  

• Two cable entry points are provided (fig 2); at the rear of the baseplate (25mm ᴓ hole), for cables passed through the wall, and at the front; located at the bottom of the wall arm cover (20mm threaded for conduit). A screw cap is supplied for this access point, in the event it is not used.
  

Removing the bracket to aid wall fixing:

• Remove the 4 Allen bolts securing the Pivot Ball to the housing body, using the 5mmm Allen wrench (Fig 3). Lifting the Pivot Ball and bracket arm away from the housing body reveals 2 cable entry glands for access into the housing enclosure (Fig 4); one of which is a split-gland; to allow a pre-made RJ45 cable to enter the housing. Ensure that the rubber O-rings remain on the screws.
  

• Ensure that any unused Glands are closed off, to avoid damp air entering the housing.

• The wall bracket arm can now be attached to the mounting surface.

• The cable(s) can be passed through the bracket arm by removing the front cover of the arm.

• Remove the wall bracket front cover (Fig 5). Using the medium Allen wrench provided (3mm), unscrew the 4 fixing bolts and pull the cover away from the bracket arm.

• The cable access hole and locking ring assembly are now visible (Fig 6).

• Pass the cable(s) into the arm and through the cable access hole (16mm ᴓ), into the Pivot ball assembly (Fig 7):
  

• Offer the housing body up to the Pivot Ball and pass the cable(s) through the gland(s), ensuring unused glands are closed off to prevent damp air ingress.

• Attach the housing body to the Pivot Ball assembly and refit, using the 4 Allen bolts. Ensure the  rubber O-ring seals arestill fitted on each bolt. Tighten the locking ring using the optional wrench bar (Fig 8).

• Upon re-fitting the housing body to the bracket arm; position the housing and tighten the locking ring with the wrench bar, and tightening one of the grub screws using the supplied Allen wrench (2.5mm) This fixes the ring in place and ensures the housing remains firmly in position (Fig 9)
  

PED mount: fitting instructions

The PED mount is an alternative mounting system, designed to replace the standard wall bracket assembly. The PED is designed to mount the VEGA™ housing to poles and towers using a 4” PCD fitting. The PED attaches to the housing Pivot Ball in the same way as the wall bracket; with the same cable access. Removal is the same process as described in section 3.2, Fig 3.

• To tighten the lock ring in the PED, first remove the PED column cover, by removing the Allen screw as shown in Fig 10 below. Tighten using the optional wrench bar (Fig 11).
  
  

• Fix, pass the cable(s) through; attach the housing body; position the housing and tighten the lock ring as described in section 3.2, figs 8 & 9.

Making the connections

Removing the housing cover

• First, loosen the front bezel Allen bolts by 3 turns. This will allow the housing cover to be removed easily (fig 8)
  

• Next, loosen the 3 Allen bolts securing the Housing cover (Fig 9). Be aware that silicon O-rings are fitted on the inside of the screw holes. These must remain in place, to provide an effective weather-seal.

• Gently pull the housing cover backwards and upwards, noting that an earthing strap connects the housing cover to the base. Ensure that the earthing strap remains connected at all times (Fig 10). Take care to ensure that the earth strap is not trapped when refitting the housing cover.
  

• Ensure that the integral weather seal and O-rings are not disturbed, removed or damaged in any way (Fig 11). Moisture ingress may occur if the seal is compromised, warranty cover will be void in this case.

Connection boards

The Vega™ 2050 Series is fitted with two connection boards, to make power, input & output connections quick and easy. One board provides all incoming power and data connections (Fig 13):

• RJ45 for Data + PoE
• J3: 8-way connector for direct Cat5e wiring (Data + PoE) (follows RJ45 pin numbers)
• J2: 12VDC connection (fused @ 2.5A).

Note: Only use one power source at any one time; damage could occur if multiple power sources are connected!

The second board provides audio in/out and alarm in/out connections.

Specifications:

• Once connection and final testing is complete; re-fit the top cover using the 3x 5mm Allen screws, then fasten the 2x 3mm Allen screws on the front bezel; ensuring the cover and bezel are fitted flush and evenly all round. Your Vega™ 2050 Series housing is now ready to use. Take care to ensure that the earth strap is not trapped when refitting the housing cover.

Accessing the camera’s web interface

Setting Zoom Position

NOTE: The motorised Zoom function is designed as a one-time setting, made at the time of installation. It is not designed for continual use and is best performed in daytime, where good light levels are present; allowing accurate focusing. The lens will then automatically adjust the focus at night-time and daytime switching. Once set, leave the lens at the desired position and close the PTZ control panel.

• To set the Zoom position; click the PTZ button at the bottom of the screen, shown in Fig 19.
  

• The PTZ control panel is displaye
  

• Click the icon on the left to zoom in and the icon on the right to zoom out. Allow a few seconds for the auto-focus system to accurately attain the correct focal position.

• Should auto-focus be unable to set the correct focal position accurately (due to strong backlight, lack of detail and definition in the scene, or sun flare); the lens can be manually adjusted; using the next two icons. Adjust to find the sharpest image:

• Once set, close the PTZ control panel (X). No other PTZ functions are enabled for this model.

Setting a new fixed IP address

The 2050 Series camera has been shipped with a static IP address of 192.168.0.120. This will need to be changed to match the IP address range of your network.

• From the Web interface live screen; click the Configuration tab (you will need to be logged in as an Administrator to do this).
  

• Using the menu tree on the left-hand side; click Device, then Local Network:
  

• Choose TCP/IP v4 or v6 as required; type the new fixed IP address of the camera into the IP Address field; with Subnet Mask and Default Gateway address (if connecting exclusively to an NVR; use the NVR’s fixed IP address for the Gateway). Set DNS addresses if outbound/ internet access is required. MTU setting: Most LAN networks will accept the default setting of 1500; however, for outbound/ internet access; Routers may require a setting of 1492 or lower. Check with the Internet Service Provider (ISP) for the correct figure.

• Click APPLY when finished. Wait for 90 seconds for the camera to reboot and apply the new fixed IP address.

• You will need to connect to the camera using the new IP address now.

• DHCP: Only enable the DHCP button if you wish the camera to acquire an IP address automatically from the network’s resident DHCP server. Typically; you will need to agree a range of reserved DHCP address with the Network Administrator beforehand. You may need the MAC address of each camera in advance. This can be found on the Device Info page at the top of the menu tree.
  

• Configuring the system in more detail is now possible. For detailed help with the camera configuration; please refer
