Use the Phillips screwdriver to remove the camera bottom cover. Then, you can see the Reset button, SD card slot and system running status indicator.

Device Installation

A. SD Card Installation

Use a 2# Phillips screwdriver to remove the bottom cover, and insert the SD card.

CAUTION

Do not disassemble the PTZ dome camera yourself or remove the lens protective film before the installation is complete. Ensure that the weight-bearing capacity of the pole, ceiling, wall, and brackets exceeds 30 kg and the installation environment is secure and reliable. Also, avoid magnetic interference nearby.

B. Pole-Mounted Installation

  1. Install the universal joint:
    Use three M6 screws to secure the universal joint to the smart tracking mount, and then tighten the screws.
  2. Secure the smart tracking mount to the pole mount:
    Align the screw holes on the smart tracking mount with those on the pole mount, and tighten the M8 screws. The tightening torque is 8 N.m.
  3. Secure the mount to the pole:
    1. Thread cables through the smart tracking mount
    2. Loosen the three hose clamps and route them through the mounting holes on the pole mount. Then, route
      the cables that need to be connected to the pigtails of the PTZ dome camera through the pole mount.
    3. Place the hose clamps around the pole and fasten the hose clamps to fix the pole mount to the pole.
    4. Install the camera:
      1. Thread the network cable through the PG waterproof connector and tighten the PG waterproof connector.
      2. Install the bullet camera on the universal joint, loosen the universal joint, adjust the shooting angle of the bullet camera, and then tighten the screws on the universal joint.

NOTE: 

  • There are three holes on the PG connector bushing isolator. The smallest hole is used preferentially.
  • Change the bullet camera IP address as planned before installing the camera. Otherwise, you need to use the client SDC tool to change the bullet camera IP address.
  • The hex nut of the PG connector does not need to be installed for this model.

Install the top cover of the PTZ dome camera:

  1. Align the top cover of the PTZ dome camera with the mount and screw it into the mount.
  2. Lastly, use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten the set screws on the mount to secure the adapter ring to the mount.

The PTZ dome camera is delivered with a handle attached, to make it easier to pick up and carry the camera. You are advised to use the handle, not the pigtails, to carry the camera.

B. Pole-Mount

Install the PTZ dome camera:

  1. Hook the buckle on one end of the safety rope to the mounting ear of the mount. Use the mounting ear on one side of the PTZ dome camera to hook the camera to the top cover.
  2. Connect the cables to the pigtails of the PTZ dome camera and waterproof the pigtails. Then use a hex key (H5) to tighten the three screws on the top cover.

CAUTION

  • For details about cable connection, waterproofing, and insulation procedures for the PTZ dome camera, see “Cable Connection and Waterproofing and Insulation”.
  • The network port of the bullet camera must be connected to a network port of the PTZ dome camera through a network cable. The other network port of the PTZ dome camera must be connected to the switch.
  • After the installation is complete, remove the handle from the safety rope.
  • After the installation, verify that the protective film on the lens has been removed. Remove the fixing rubber strip from the camera body.

Wall-Mount

  1. Install the expansion bolts:
    1. Place the wall mount in the desired installation position. Use a marker to mark the screw installation locations. Select a drill bit with a diameter of 10 mm to drill holes with a depth of about 80 mm.
    2. Use a claw hammer to install the expansion bolts into the holes. Then, screw off the flat washers, spring washers, and nuts from the expansion bolts.
  2. Install the smart mount:
    1. Route the cables that need to be connected to the pigtails of the PTZ dome camera through the wall mount.
    2. Remove washers, spring washers, and nuts from the expansion bolts. Thread the four expansion bolts through the four screw holes on the base of the wall mount, place the washers, spring washers, and nuts on the expansion bolts, and tighten the nuts.

The procedure for installing the universal joint, bullet camera, and PTZ dome camera in wall-mounted mode is the same as that in pole-mounted mode. For details, see steps 1 through 6 in “Pole-Mount.”

Device Installation

Cables Connections&Waterproofing and Insulation

CAUTION

  • In areas prone to lightning strikes, the lightning arrester must be installed and grounded.
  • Strong and weak current cables must be kept at least 5 cm apart from each other. When connecting cables to the device, take care to avoid connecting strong current cables to weak current ports. Otherwise, the device may be damaged.
  • Wrap all pigtail cables in insulated, waterproof, rubber tape to prevent short circuits or water damage. Cutting off the pigtail cables will void your warranty.
  1. Connect the ground cable to ground the device, and then connect the power cable. If crimp terminals are not used, the wire thickness cannot exceed 1.5 mm², and the length cannot exceed 25 m. If crimp terminals are used, the wire can be up to 0.75 mm² for a 15 m length of wiring, or up to 1.0 mm² if 20 m is required. Longer wiring is not supported. The ground impedance cannot exceed 5 ohms.
  2. Connect the network cable. Loosen the components 1, 2, and 3 of the waterproof connector kit on the network cable port in sequence, thread the network cable through the kit(If the RJ45 connector of the network cable has a jacket and cannot be threaded through the kit, remove the jacket. If the jacket cannot be removed, cut off the connector and install an RJ45 connector without the jacket.), and install the components in the sequence marked in the following figure. The waterproof connector of the network cable must be secured tightly, or it may come loose later.
  3. Connect the audio cable.
  4. Connect the alarm cable and RS-485 cable.The cable core must be from 0.2 mm² – 0.3 mm².
  5. Wrap one layer of insulation tape around each cable joint. Stretch the waterproof tape evenly to twice its original length. Then apply one layer of waterproof tape.
  6. Use the insulation tape to protect the waterproof tape layer. Then, use cable ties to secure both ends.
  7. Cover the rest of the cabling in a conduit or with protective waterproof rubber tape. Make a drip loop as shown below to create an artificial lowest point of the cable.

NOTE

  • Waterproof and insulate all cables including power cables, network cables, and unused pigtails.
  • Before that, check the cabling and ensure that the camera runs normally to avoid reworkings.
  • The waterproof tape must cover the cable bundle from the insulation sheath all the way to the cable conduit (for example, a PVC tube). The tape must be wrapped tightly and there must be no gaps in the coverage. Otherwise, water will leak in.
  • If a corrugated pipe is installed, a drainage hole should be deployed at the lowest point of the pipe to prevent water from getting into the pipe. Long-term soaking may cause pigtail damage.
