Installation Procedures
This section covers the step-by-step procedures in mounting the camera on a corner wall using
the Corner Mount with Surface Mount tilted accessory set. In this installation, the camera is
mounted with a 10 tilt so there would be maximum coverage of the floor in the field of view.
Because the Corner Mount Kit does not support flex conduit entry via the Tilted Mount, therefore
the side hole of the camera will be used for cabling. Make sure whether this solution is acceptable
for you or not.
Step 1: Attach the Corner Mount
1. Align the Corner Mount to the corner wall and mark the location of the eight (8) screw holes.
NOTE:
The illustration above shows only the screw holes on one side of the wall.
Remember to mark the screw holes on the other side of the wall, too.
Due to different corner surfaces and shapes, it is recommended to use the
actual Corner Mount to mark the holes for drilling.
2. Drill the eight (8) screw holes.

3. Attach eight (8) screws (not included in the package) to secure the Corner Mount to the wall.
NOTE: Purchase screws applicable to the wall type you are mounting the Corner Mount to.
Step 2: Attach the Tilted Mount
Attach the two (2) screws (included in the Corner Mount package) to install the tilted mount onto
the corner mount.
IMPORTANT! Note that the tilted mount must be installed with the pre-cut cable hole facing up.

Step 4: Install the Camera to the Tilted Mount
1. If necessary, insert a memory card into the card slot of the camera.
2. Attach the camera to the tilted mount using the three (3) screws supplied in the tilted mount
package.
NOTE: Make sure the mounting screws have rubber rings. If the screws you received do not
have rubber rings, please contact your local sales agents or our Customer Help Desk (CHD)
for support.
Step 5: Prepare for Waterproof Installation
The camera comes with two (2) glands used for waterproof installation: Cable gland and Conduit
Gland. Determine the type of waterproof solution that is applicable to your installation
requirements and prepare the necessary accessories or purchase extra materials.

Step 6: Connect the Cable(s)
There are two ways to do the waterproof cabling installation:
Waterproof with Naked Cable: This installation uses the supplied cable gland and an
exterior-grade Ethernet cable (not supplied). Exterior-grade cables are already
waterproof and thus, do not require a conduit. To connect the cable using the cable gland
solution, see Waterproof Solution with Naked Cable below.
Waterproof with Conduit: This installation uses the supplied conduit gland and a 3/8”
flexible conduit (not supplied). This is the recommended solution if other input / output
devices or an external power adaptor will be connected to the camera. To connect the
cable(s) using the conduit gland solution, see Waterproof Solution with Conduit on
page 10.
Waterproof Solution with Naked Cable
This section describes the procedures to waterproof the cabling connections using an
exterior-grade Ethernet cable.
1. Disassemble the cable gland as shown below:
2. Insert the clamping nut into the Ethernet cable.

3. Insert the sealing insert with claw.
4. Attach the cable gland body to the side hole of the camera.
5. Insert the Ethernet cable through the cable gland body and connect it to the Ethernet port of
the camera.

Waterproof Solution with Conduit
This section describes the procedures to waterproof the cabling connections using a flexible
conduit with 3/8” trade size (not supplied). This is the recommended solution when connecting an
external power adaptor, audio in/out, or digital input/output (DI/DO) devices to the camera.
1. Disassemble the cable gland as shown below:
2. Pull the Ethernet cable and other cables (if any) through the flex conduit.
NOTE: To connect an external power adaptor, audio in/out, or digital input/output (DI/DO)
devices, insert the cables without connectors through the flex conduit together with the
Ethernet cable at this point.
3. Insert the clamping nut through the flex conduit.

4. Insert the sealing rubber and attach it at the end of the flex conduit.
5. Attach the conduit gland body (with washer) to the side hole of the camera.
NOTE: Make sure the washer is attached to the conduit gland body.
6. Attach the lock nut to secure the conduit gland body to the camera.

Appendices
This section describes the procedures in preparing the external devices that you can connect to
the camera. The camera supports DC12V power input, Digital Input and Output (DI/DO) and
Audio Input and Output devices using the bundled terminal blocks. The use of these devices,
however, is optional.
Connecting a Power Adaptor (Optional)
The camera consumes 9.6W power when powered by a Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch that is
IEEE802.3af compliant. In case of using a non-PoE switch or your PoE switch has limited power
supply, you can purchase a power adaptor and directly connect the camera to a power outlet. The
power adaptor must be connected to the supplied terminal block before use.
To do this, follow the procedures below:
1. Loosen the screws of the 12V and GND pins of the power terminal block.
2. Take note that a standard power adaptor cable has two (2) different wires:
15

Installation Guide
3. Connect the wire with the white stripe to the 12V pin and the other to the GND pin.
4. Tighten the screws of the 12V pin and the GND pins to secure the wire connection.
5. Set the prepared power adaptor for connection later. Below is an example of a power adaptor
with an attached terminal block.
NOTE: The power adaptor is not bundled in the package.

Connecting DI/DO Devices (Optional)
Depending on your surveillance needs, you may connect digital input or output devices to your
camera to trigger events or notifications.
Digital Input (DI) devices can be used to notify the camera about an activity in the camera site. DI
can be triggers of events. For example, you can connect a “panic button” to the camera; as such
when the panic button is pressed, the alarm signal will be sent through the camera. Other
common DI device applications are emergency button, smoke detector, passive infrared sensor,
etc.
Digital Output (DO) devices are external devices that are activated by the camera upon an event
inside the camera. For example, you can connect an “alarm horn” to the camera; as such when
an event occurs inside the camera (e.g. detected intruder), the alarm horn will sound. Other
common DO device applications are motion-triggered lights, electric fence, magnetic door locks,
etc.
You can connect up to two DI and two DO devices to your camera.
Press and hold the orange tab as you insert the wire through the pin slot, then release the orange
tab to secure the wire.
To connect input devices (DI), map the pins to one of the pin combinations below:

To connect output devices (DO), map the pins to one of the pin combinations below:
The table below shows the DI/DO connection specifications:
Typical Connection
Based on these specifications, if the DI device has a voltage of 0V ~ 30V or the DO device has a
voltage of < 24V (<100mA), then the camera can supply internal power to these devices and
there is no need to connect the DI/DO device to an external power source.
In this case, wire connection to Pins 1 to 4. Use the GND and DI1 pins to connect a DI device and
use the 12V and DO1 pins to connect a DO device. See wiring scheme below:
Consequently, to connect a second DI or DO device, wire the connection to Pins 5 to 8.

High Voltage DO Device Connection
Even though the camera provides 12V power, this may not be enough for some high voltage DO
devices, such as a ceiling light or a motor that opens or closes a gate. In this case, there is a
need to connect an external relay. See wiring scheme below:
Note that when choosing an appropriate relay, please refer to its specifications and make sure
they match the above design. The triggering circuit voltage has to be around 12V DC and the
switch-controlled circuit voltage has to match the external power supply (e.g. 110V AC or 220V
AC).
The illustration below is a graphic example of connecting a relay to a high voltage DO device.
NOTE: For more information on DI/DO connections, please refer to the Knowledge Base
article All about Digital Input and Digital Output downloadable from the link below

Connecting Audio In / Out Devices (Optional)
Depending on your surveillance needs, you may connect audio input or output device, such as an
active microphone or speaker, to your camera. In this case, you need to connect the audio
input/output device to the supplied audio terminal block.
To connect audio input / output devices, map the pins to one of the pin combinations below:
Press and hold the orange tab as you insert the wire through the pin slot, then release the orange
tab to secure the wire.
NOTE: For more information about AUDIO in connections, please refer to the Knowledge Base
