Before installing the camera, set the IP address and other network information on the camera

using the “VB Initial Setting Tool” on the Setup CD-ROM.

For details on how to operate the “VB Initial Setting Tool”, see “Operation Guide”.

Determine an installation position for the camera and drill holes in the ceiling

Use the template included with the ceiling mount cover (sold separately) to determine the

positions of the ﬁxing screw holes and wiring hole (43 x 84 mm (1.7 x 3.3 in.)) according to the

camera orientation. Next, cut out the wiring hole, and drill the ﬁxing screw holes in the ceiling.

Attach the ceiling plate to the camera

Fix the ceiling plate to the camera with the four screws (M3) included with the ceiling mount cover

(sold separately).

Secure the safety wire

Securely attach the safety wire to an anchor or structure. After securing one end of the safety

wire to the ceiling, secure the other end to the camera using the screw that is fastened to the

camera.

Important

If a wiring hole cannot be opened in a concrete ceiling, etc., secure the wiring to a comparable location.

Fix the ceiling plate to the ceiling

Fix the ceiling plate to the ceiling at four points using the appropriate screws. The ceiling plate

has four diameter

4.5 mm ( 0.18 in.) screw holes. Use the appropriate screws for ceiling

mounting in accordance with the condition and material of the installation site.

Connect the LAN cable to the camera through the wiring hole

If AC Adapter PA-V17/PA-V18 (sold separately) or an external power supply is used, connect

the power connector to the camera.

Connect cables to external device I/O terminals and audio input/output terminals as

necessary.

Install the ceiling mount cover

Align the (O) mark on the ceiling mount cover with the (I) mark on the rear of the camera, and

turn the cover clockwise to the (I) position.

Check that the ceiling mount cover is securely attached.

Note

Cutout section

If the cables cannot be stored above a ceiling made of concrete, etc., or if the cables

do not ﬁt within the ceiling mount cover, bend the cutout section of the ceiling mount

cover using diagonal pliers, etc., to create a cutout through which to guide the cables.

Reboot the camera when the installation is complete

The camera position is initiated (see “Operation Guide” > “Setting Page” > “Maintenance”).

Important

The camera can be installed in the upright position. Attach commercial anti-slip guards to the base of the

camera and set on a ﬂat, stable surface without inclination, or ﬁx the camera to a tripod, etc. Be sure to use

a tripod with mounting screws shorter than 5.5 mm (0.22 in.). Using a tripod with mounting screws 5.5 mm

(0.22 in.) or longer may damage the camera. Also, use a tripod with a base diameter of 30 mm (1.18 in.) or

more.

Connecting the Camera

Power Connection

Power can be supplied to the camera in the three ways described as follows.



PoE (Power over Ethernet)

The camera supports PoE functions. Power can be supplied to the camera by using a LAN cable

to connect it to a PoE HUB that conforms to the IEEE 802.3af standard.

Important

• Check with your dealer for more information about PoE HUB and Midspan technology.

Midspan (a LAN cable power supply device) is a device that, like a PoE HUB, supplies power to the

camera via a LAN cable.

• Some PoE HUBs allow current limits for each port, but applying limits may interfere with performance. If

using this type of PoE HUB, do not limit the operating current.

• Some PoE HUBs have total consumption current limits for ports, which can interfere with performance

when multiple ports are in use. For more information, check the instruction guide for your PoE HUB.

• When the camera is connected to a switching HUB, changing the connection while the camera is

operating may cause the HUB learning function to interfere with communication. Do not change the

connection when the camera is operating.

• The camera can also be connected to an AC adapter (sold separately) while receiving power from

a PoE HUB. In such cases, the PoE power supply is given priority, and the camera does not use the

power supply from the AC adapter (sold separately). When the PoE power supply is disconnected,

power is supplied automatically from the AC adapter (sold separately).



External Power Supply

12 V DC or 24 V AC input can be used.

Connect the included power connector as shown below.

(included)

For 12 V DC and 24 V AC input, use a power supply insulated

from 100 V AC.

12 V DC can be connected in a non-polar conﬁguration.

Important

• The power supply should be within the following voltage range.

• 24 V AC: Voltage ﬂuctuation within ±10% of 24 V AC (50 Hz or

60 Hz ±0.5 Hz or less)

Current supply capacity of at least 1.0 A per camera

• 12 V DC: Voltage ﬂuctuation within ±10% of 12 V DC

Current supply capacity of at least 1.5 A per camera

• When using a 12 V DC battery power supply, be sure to connect

resistors of at least 0.5 – 1.0

Ω/20 W in series to the power line.

• For an external power supply, use a double-insulated device.

supply), AC adapter, or external power supply plug turns the power ON and OFF, respectively.

• When the camera needs to be rebooted, perform the reboot operation from the camera setting page

(see “Operation Guide” > “Setting Page” > “Maintenance”).

External Device I/O Terminals

External device I/O terminals consist of two input and output systems each. Viewer can be used

to check external device input status and control ouput to an external device (see “Operation

Guide” > “Selecting the External Device Output” and “Displaying Event Status”).



External Device Input Terminals (IN1, IN2)

External device input terminals consist of two sets (IN1, IN2) of two terminals, with the negative

terminals connected to the camera interior GND. Connecting cables to the positive and negative

terminals and opening or closing the circuit notiﬁes the Viewer.

Important

• When connecting sensors and switches, connect terminals that are electrically isolated from the

respective power and GND.

•

Do not push the external device I/O terminal button with too much force. Doing so may cause the button

to remain pushed-in.



External Device Output Terminals (OUT1, OUT2)

External device output terminals consist of two sets (OUT1, OUT2) of two terminals. The sets

have no polarity. Controls from the viewer can be used to open and close the circuit between the

terminals. Using optical couplers, the output terminals are isolated from the camera's internal

circuit.
