Dimensions

Connections

Diameter – 4.28” (108.5 mm) Height – 3.2” (81 mm)
Side View:
Bottom View:
The HD320 cameras use Power over Ethernet (PoE). The only connection on the camera is the RJ45 Ethernet dongle located on the rear of the camera. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the dongle, and connect the other end to the recorder, or to a PoE switch.
Protect the network cable connection from water damage by running the cord inside a wall or ceiling, or through conduit.
If passing the cord through a wall or ceiling, drill a 3/4” hole.
For outdoor installations, seal any holes in the wall or ceiling with
silicone caulk to protect against water intrusion.
AvertX recommends using Category 5 Ethernet cable to connect the camera to your network. For the best transmission quality, the cable length should not exceed 328 feet (100 meters).

Weather Resistant Cable Connector
Thread Lock Cap
Silicone Seal Ring
RJ45 Enclosure
Small Silicone “O”
This camera features an IP66-rated weather resistant connector. For unprotected outdoor connections, screw the connector on the included Ethernet camera cable onto the camera dongle. If your installation location does not require a water resistant connection, loosen and slide the connector back on the cable until it’s out of the way.
This camera features an IP66-rated waterproof cable connector for unprotected outdoor connections. You do not need to re-terminate
the cable to use the waterproof cable connector. Included Pieces:
To Install the weather resistant cable connector, follow these steps:
1. Slide all pieces of the waterproof cable connector over the cable plug in this order:
Thread Lock Cap
Flexible silicone seal ring. You will need to stretch the silicone
seal over the RJ-45 plug.
TIP: Insert the flexible silicone seal ring onto the tip of a pair of
needle nose pliers and stretch the seal over the RJ45 plug
RJ45 Enclosure
Ring
2. Stretch the small silicone “O” ring onto the camera dongle
3. Connect the camera cable to the plug on the dongle. Screw the RJ45 Enclosure into the dongle.
4. Insert the flexible silicone seal into the “crown” section of the l arge plastic ring
5. Screw the small plastic ring into the large plastic ring
TIP: To remove the RJ45 enclosure from the camera cable,
tape down the locking tab on the RJ45 plug with electrical or office tape.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to disconnect the camera connection
without loosening the smaller thread lock cap. Do not force. Forcing the assembly will break the camera dongle and will void camera warranty.

AvertX recommends that you perform a bench test of your camera before installation. This will confirm that your camera is functioning correctly and familiarize yourself with the functions before it is installed and possibly out of reach.
To bench test your camera, attach the camera network connector to your recorder and test whether or not the camera is functioning correctly. Once the camera is connected to the recorder, test all functions (especially Auto Focus, Zoom, IR Night Vision) to ensure proper operation.
If the camera will not connect or is not functioning correct ly , do not install and contact AvertX Support.

THREE: SETUP AND CONFIGURATION

INSTALLING THE CAMERA

Note: Before installing this camera, please refer to the Quick Start
Guide included in the camera box.
The camera can be installed directly onto the wall or ceiling. Be sure
that the structure is strong enough to support the camera.

Ceiling and Wall Installation

CAUTION: Using other screws or modifying the camera may allow
water intrusion and void the warranty.
DO NOT DRILL HOLES OR ATTEMPT TO ENLARGE THE
MOUNTING HOLES IN THE BASE OF THE CAMERA.
Dome cameras are ideal for installation on a ceiling or soffit location. If
you are installing the camera on a wall without a bracket, see
Consideration for Wall Installations.
1. If mounting on a concrete surface, use the included nylon anchors for mounting and the provided screws. Using the mountin g template, drill a ¼” hole with a masonry bit and insert the nylon anchors. Do not use concrete screws or other screws as they
may damage the camera base, allowing water to potentially enter the camera and void your warranty.
2. If mounting the camera onto dry wall, plaster board, sheet rock or similar surfaces, dri ll a ¼” hole for the nylon anchors included in the hardware packet and use only the screws provided.
3. If mounting the camera onto a wood, OSB, particle board or
metal surface, pre-drill a 1/16” pilot hole and use only the screws provided.
4. If mounting the camera onto other surfaces such as fiber glass, fiber concrete siding, etc., use the appropriate anchor suitable for the density and thickness of the surface and only the screws provided.
5. Remove the camera dome cover by removing dome screws and lifting.
6. Use the included mounting template to pre-drill holes for the mounting screws and, if passing the cable through the ceiling or wall, drill a ¾” hole for the camera cable connector.
7. Connect an Ethernet cable to the dongle on the camera.
Protect the network cable connection from water damage by
running the cord inside a wall or ceiling, or through conduit
For outdoor installations, seal any holes in the wall or ceiling
with silicone caulk to protect against water intrusion.
8. Affix the base of the camera to the wall with the included self­tapping screws and wall anchors. Do not over tighten the mounting screws. Over tightening the screw could compromise the seal.
9. Loosen adjustment screw and adjust the camera to the desired angle.
10. Replace the dome cover. For proper dome alignment and seal, alternate tightening screws Do not over tighten.
