Precautions
•
•
•
•
•
•

This camera should be installed by qualified personnel only.
There are no user serviceable parts inside.
Do not disassemble this camera other than to make initial adjustments.
Use a UL approved regulated 12 volt DC power supply.
Use appropriate low voltage power cable to prevent fire or electrical shock.
Please insure that your installation area can support the weight of the camera.

Handle this camera carefully

iv

Do not use a strong or abrasive detergent when cleaning the camera.
Do not install near cooling or heating devices.
Do not install the camera in extreme temperature conditions. Use the camera in environments where temperature
is within 14°F to 122°F. Use adequate ventilation if a camera is installed where high temperatures may occur.
Do not install or use the camera in an environment where the humidity is high. Very high humidity levels can
reduce image quality.
Do not install the camera under unstable lighting conditions. Severe lighting change or flicker can cause the camera
to work improperly.
Do not touch the front lens of the camera. Finger prints, dust and soil on the front glass can cloud the video image and
reduce the effectiveness of the IR array.
Do not drop the camera or subject it to physical shocks.
Do not expose the camera to rain or spill liquids on it. If it gets wet, wipe dry immediately. Liquids can contain
minerals that corrode the electronic components.
Do not expose the camera to radioactivity. If exposed to radioactivity the video sensor may fail.
Do not disassemble the camera. There are no user-serviceable parts inside it.
Do not drop the camera or subject them to physical shocks. It can cause malfunctions to occur.
Never point the camera at a strong light, or exposing it to a spotlight or an object reflecting the strong light.
Smear or blooming may occur, and it can damage the CCD.
Before applying power to the camera, check the power source to ensure that it is within specifications.

SECTION 2

Installation
2.1 General Guidelines
•

Camera Lens: Handle the camera carefully to prevent scratching or soiling the lens. If the lens or IR array shield becomes
soiled, clean it only with approved products. See the Cleaning section later in this manual.

•

Monitor impedance: Set the monitor impedance switch to 75 Ω.

•

Power supply: To avoid fire or shock hazard, use only UL listed power supplies.

•

Camera drop cable: The camera drop cable includes two connectors:
—— Video BNC connector – for transmission of the video signal across a coax (75 Ω) extension cable.
—— Power connector – Use 12 Vac power source (see the Specifications section for power requirements). When
applying 12 Vdc power, observe the power polarity. See the picture below for the connector polarity configuration.

2.2 Mounting the camera
The camera can be mounted on any surface with sufficient strength to support it. The video/power drop cable from the camera can
be routed either through the cable hole in the center of the base plate, or through a cable guide in the mounting bracket.
1.

4

Using the camera base as a guide, mark the location of the screws that anchor the base plate to the mounting surface. If you
are routing the drop cable through base, also mark the position of the hole for the drop cable.

SECTION 2: INSTALLATION

NOTE

Position the base plate so that the cable guide in the mounting bracket is pointing away from any source of water,
dust, and other contaminates.

2.

Drill holes for the screws that anchor the base to the mounting surface. The mounting hardware provided is appropriate for
most surfaces. However, depending on the surface materials, more appropriate fasteners may be required.

3.

Drill a 3/4" hole for the drop cable, if necessary.

4.

Route the drop cable through the hole through the base plate, or through the cable guide in the mounting bracket, then
attach the camera assembly to the surface using the appropriate fasteners.

5.

Connect the camera drop cable to video and power extension cables as required.
NOTE

Drop cable connectors are not waterproof.

2.3 Camera adjustments
1.

Apply power to the camera.

2.

If using a CCTV video system monitor to setup your camera, connect the video output of the camera to your CCTV monitor.

3.

Verify that video from the camera can be seen on the monitor.

4.

While observing video from the camera, use the hex wrench provided to loosen the two mounting bracket adjustment
screws.

5.

Point the camera at the center of your surveillance target, then tighten the bracket adjustment screws.

6.

Adjust the sun shield (forward or back) to reduce glare, if necessary.

7.

If your camera has a varifocal lens ( -VF or -VFE models), use the hex wrench provided to adjust the video zoom and focus.
The adjustment screws are located on the bottom of the camera.

8.

If your camera is a BC700 series model, configure your camera using the software menus in the OSD. See OSD Setup in
the following subsection.

2.4 OSD Setup (BC700 series cameras only)
BC700 series cameras include on-screen display (OSD) software for adjusting the
internal camera settings to complement specific environment where it is installed.
These settings are adjusted using the OSD controller attached to the camera drop
cable.
The OSD controller includes a joystick that can be pushed down and rocked UP,
DOWN, left (L) and right (R), or, to open the menu system and navigate the
menus.
To use the OSD controller, press the joy stick in (toward the controller block) to
open the OSD menu. (See the menu chart on the following page.) Rock the joystick
UP or DOWN to highlight a parameter or submenu, then press the joystick in
to select it. Rock the joystick right (R) to highlight an option, UP or DOWN
to identify the option, then press the joystick in to select it. Repeat this method to
navigate the menu system and select options.

SECTION 3: CLEANING

SECTION 3

Cleaning
Clean the camera dome with an approved glass cleaning solution and a lint free cloth.
•
•

Dust can be removed from the unit by wiping it with a soft damp cloth. To remove stains, gently rub the surface with a soft
cloth moistened with a mild detergent solution, then rinse and dry it with a soft cloth.
Remove all foreign particles, such as plastic or rubber materials, attached to the camera housing. These may cause damage to
the surface over time.



CAUTION

8

Do not use benzene, thinner or other chemical products on the camera assembly; these may dissolve the paint and
promote damage of the surfaces. Before using any chemical product, read the accompanying instructions carefully.
