Tip
Installation
1. Wiring methods shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Code/NFPA 70/ANSI, and with all
local codes and authorities having jurisdiction. Wiring should be UL Listed and/or Recognized wire
suitable for the application.
2. Operating Temperature -40°C (-40°F) to +50°C (122°F)
3. Always use hardware e.g. screws, anchors, bolts, locking nuts etc. which are compatible with mounting
surface and of sufficient length and construction to insure a secure mount
4. Visit http://www.arecontvision.com/ and check to ensure your camera has the most current firmware.
5. For installations in harsh environments it is recommended to use all six mounting screws supplied with
your camera to create the best seal possible between your camera and the mounting surface using the
supplied gasket.
6. If using the NPT port always use Teflon tape around threads to ensure proper sealing.
7. After plugging in the network cable check that the indicator LED’s are indicating the desired conditions
(see LED Indicator table).
8. Use Arecont Vision software AV100 or AV200 located on the CD or available for download at our
website (www.arecontvision.com) for camera discovery and setup (see Instruction Manual located on
CD or available on our website).
9. Adjust the pan and tilt to obtain the desired field of view (see Focusing Instructions).
10. Lens may be further secured by tightening
the lens lock screw using Phillips head
screwdriver.
11. Install the Dome Cover by aligning the
captive fasteners with the mating
threaded holes on the camera housing.
12. When mounting the Dome Cover to the Camera
Housing ensure that the gasket is properly seating and not folded. Failure to
do so may result in water and dust ingress.
13. When mounting the Dome Cover to the Camera Housing do not over torque
the three captive fasteners as this will cause the threads to strip. Only hand
tighten these screws.
Best Practice Tips
When mounting to vertical surface it is best to use the Wall Mount Accessory
(MCD-WMT) which includes a junction box.
For outdoor use it is always best to properly seal the product using caulk
around the edges to prevent water ingress from mounting to porous or
uneven surfaces.
Use Teflon tape on threaded interfaces.
Use all 6 supplied mounting screws for best seal when mounting outdoors.

Focusing the Camera
1. Open a live view of the camera from your web browser or the AV Software provided (AV100 or AV200).
2. Loosen the lens lock screw using a phillips head screwdriver (if necessary). Only do so if lens seems very
tight when turning. Lock screw should
be tightened enough to provide some
friction against the lens to avoid
focusing problems.
3. Manually rotate the lens to adjust the
focus until the desired image is
obtained.
4. For some lenses a focus shift will occur once the bubble is in place. Hold the bubble up to the lens when
focusing to account for the focus shift or see the “Focusing Alternate Lenses” section below for further
instruction.
5. Retighten the lock screw if necessary.
6. Install the Dome Cover by aligning the captive fasteners with the mating threaded holes on the camera
housing.
7. When mounting the Dome Cover to the Camera Housing ensure that the gasket is properly seating and
not folded. Failure to do so may result in water and dust
ingress.
8. When mounting the Dome Cover to the Camera Housing do
not over torque the three captive fasteners as this will cause
the threads to strip. Only hand tighten these screws.
