Notes for When and After Installing the Camera

When Installing the Camera

Installing the Camera Outdoors

  • R13VE R11VE Be sure to wrap with waterproofing tape. Please refer to the “Wrapping the Waterproofing Tape” cautions below for how to wrap.
  • R12VE R10VEPlease be sure to use the included LAN Connector Set (Waterproof).
  • If connecting the camera to the composite pipe by wiring, bridge the gap using Ceiling Mounting Kit (sold separately) or Wall Mounting kit (sold separately). When connecting the pipe, apply silicon sealant to seal it tightly after attaching the pipe to prevent water getting in as necessary.

Wrapping the Waterproofing Tape
Properly waterproof the connections, as shown in the Installation Guide [2/2], using the waterproofing tape (included). If not properly waterproofed, it may result in water intrusion, thereby causing breakdown.

  • To prevent cable connections from shorting out, wrap each individual connection with insulating tape, and then wrap all of the cables with waterproofing tape. Please refer to the Installation Guide [2/2] for details on how to wrap the waterproofing tape.
  • The camera conforms to the dust-resistant/waterproof specification (IP66), however the cable ends that connect to external devices are not. Cable connections should be wrapped with waterproofing tape, if there are any chances that it may get wet.
  • Accessories for installation are not dust-proof/waterproof. Wrap the cable connections with the included waterproofing tape, even if they can fit within the optional unit, because there could be a chance of the cables getting wet.

After Installing the Camera
When the temperature within the camera is low (heater activation)
When the camera is powered by a 24 V AC/ PoE+ power source, the heater unit can be used. The heater unit will be activated automatically when the temperature within the camera is low. The orange LED will be lit, until the camera has warmed up enough to start transferring video. Once the temperature within the camera has reached the level where it can transfer the video once again, the orange LED will turn off.

Connecting the Camera

Power Connection
Please be sure to read the user manual for the dedicated power supply before use.

Note

  • Power supply should conform to all local codes.
  • The power supply should also comply with IEC/UL60950-1 (SELV/LPS) standards.

PoE+/PoE (Power over Ethernet)
Power can be supplied to the camera by using a LAN cable connected to a PoE+/PoE HUB that conforms to the IEEE802.3at Type 2 (PoE+)/Type 1 (PoE) standard. Use a category 5 or better LAN cable, 100 m (328 ft.) or less in length.

Important

  • Check with your dealer for more information about PoE+/PoE HUB and Midspan technology. Midspan (a LAN cable power supply device) is a device that, like a PoE+/PoE HUB, supplies power to the camera via a LAN cable.
  • Some PoE+/PoE HUBs allow the limitation of power for each port, but applying limits may interfere with performance. If using this type of PoE+/PoE HUB, do not limit the operating power.
  • Some PoE+/PoE HUBs have limits for the total power consumption for the ports, which can interfere with performance when multiple ports are in use. In such a case, check the user manual for your PoE+/PoE HUB.
  • When the camera is connected to both a PoE+/PoE HUB and an external power supply (12 V DC or 24 V AC), power will be supplied in the following order of precedence. External power supply (24 V AC) > PoE+/PoE HUB > External power supply (12 V DC) However, when connecting power from both, certain combinations could cause problems such as unstable network connections. If a problem arises, disable one of the power supplies.

External Power Supply

12 V DC or 24 V AC input can be used. Use the included power interface cable to connect to the camera power connection terminal.

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

  1. BROWN Power 24 V AC/12 V DC non-polar
  2. BLUE Power 24 V AC/12 V DC non-polar
  3. GREEN FG (frame ground)

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 2.0 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 /20 W in series to the power line.
  • For an external power supply, use a double-insulated device.
