2You must install the camera as a sealed unit, with no path for moisture to enter. If not sealed, condensation can form inside the dome, blurring the camera view.Mounting options: The falcon dome camera can be surface mounted to a wall or ceiling, or it can be mounted recessed into a ceiling using a recessed mounting kit.Three screws or bolts are threaded through the holes in the camera base to support the camera. A mounting template is included if holes need to be predrilled.The camera has two entry points for an Ethernet cable, a ½ inch NPT tting on the side, and a ¾ inch NPT tting on the bottom. All entry points provide possible entry paths for moisture. The camera comes with sealing plugs for the NPT ttings, and with a cable gland for the ½ inch tting. The cable gland seals around cables varying from .125 to .350 inches in diameter. Most Ethernet cable is about 0.25 inches in diameter. Tighten the cable gland to achieve a good seal.3Determine How and Where to Mount CameraSetup
34Mount the CameraAvoid MoistureThe camera interior must remain dry. Any moisture in the camera can result in fogging and poor camera performance.Remove the CoverUsing the supplied security screwdriver, release the four screws holding the clear dome assembly in place and remove the dome assembly.Physically Mount CameraIf using conduit, seal the entry point carefully. If installing the unit outdoors, be sure to create an airtight seal.If you use the supplied screws with rubber seals, screw the camera to the mounting surface. If you use other mounting hardware; apply silicone sealant around the inside of the three mounting holes to prevent leakage. Verify that the screws are inserted straight so the rubber seals mate with the surfaces properly.It is recommended to terminate (attach) the end of the Ethernet cable after threading it into the camera. If you use a cable gland, you may need to terminate the Ethernet cable after threading it through the gland.Setup
45Connect Ethernet Cable and Ensure PowerAttach the Ethernet Cable. It is a very tight t which may require some patience.The camera is powered by its PoE cable. You must use a 48 Volt Ethernet power injector or a PoE switch to provide power.If the LED does not light within 30 seconds after inserting the Ethernet jack, check the power source, cabling and connections.The cable should run from the OUT port of the PoE injector to the camera.SetupPoE Injector PoE Switch

6Setup1. Inspect the three screw mount locations to ensure that the screws are snug and the rubber seals are compressed. Do not over tighten the screws or the seals will be pushed out of place.2. Ensure that the supplied sealing plug is fully inserted in any unused cable entry point.3. Inspect the cable entry point you are using. Be sure cable gland or conduit is properly tightened, achieving a good seal. Conduit or cable entry should be positioned so water does not ow toward the camera. Use a drip loop with cables.4. Place the supplied packet of moisture absorbent (desiccant) in the camera well where the cable is located.5. Put the dome in place and tighten the four supplied screws. 6. OPTIONAL If installing in locations with high humidity, with the dome loosely installed, use a dry air source (such as Radio Shack Dust Remover Catalog #: 64-104) to purge humidity from the camera.7. Insert the red tube from the dust remover about a half inch into the gap between the dome and base. Blow the dry air from the can into the dome to purge all humid air from the dome, replacing it with dry air from the can. Use plenty of dry air. Pull the tube out, press the dome closed, and tighten the four screws which hold it in place.7Prepare and Seal the CameraCritical! To avoid fogging on the inside of the camera due to trapped moisture, the air in the camera must be completely dry.
