6.2 Video Connection

Coaxial cable terminated with a male BNC connector is the
most common method for transmitting composite video from
the camera to a monitor. If the head end device features built in
video termination then no termination connector is needed.

Size O.D. between 4.6 mm (0.181 in.) and

7.9 mm (0.312 in.)
Shield Copper braid: 95%
Central Conductor Standard copper center
Terminal Connector Male BNC

Table 6 .3 Recommended Coax Specifications

Connecting the Video

To connect the video, do the following:

1. Terminate the coaxial cable from the head end system with
a male BNC connector. Alternately, switch the head end
system to 75 Ohm termination.

2. Connect the male BNC connector to the Video Out female
BNC connector from the base of the camera.

6.3 Alarm Connections

The camera provides four alarm inputs and one alarm output.
Each input can be activated by dry contact devices such as
pressure pads, passive infrared detectors, door contacts, and
similar devices. The alarm output can activate an external
device, such as a buzzer.
Wire alarms either Normally Open (N.O.) or Normally Closed
(N.C.); you must program the alarm inputs N.O. (the default) or
N.C. through the on-screen display menus.
The following table summarizes the maximum distances for
alarm wires:

7.5.6 WDR/DNR

When both high-brightness subjects and low-brightness
subjects need to be displayed at the same time, overexposure
in the high-brightness areas or a loss of dark detail in the low­brightness areas may occur. The WDR (Wide Dynamic Range)
function creates images free from over-exposure or loss of dark
detail by combining two images from tripping the shutter for a
long exposure time and for a short exposure time in one field.
The DNR (Digital Noise Reduction) function creates ’noiseless’
images, even in low light. In ’WDR on’ mode, unnatural color or
image, and noise, may occur in a bright area. Under special

- Power-cycle the camera and power
supply, or reset the camera using
the configuration menu [Main >
System > Reboot].

- Check the connection of the power
cable and the status of the camera.

- Initialize the camera [Main >
System > Initialize].

- Check the power rating of the

- Measure the voltage at the camera
(since there could be a drop in
voltage due cable length). The
power consumption increases when
the camera is moving (especially at
high speed) and when the heater is
on. The voltage at the camera should
always be 24VAC (+/- 10%).

The communication
between controller and
camera (via RS-485
cable) is not working

- Check that the RS-485 cable is
connected correctly.

- Check the ID/Protocol/Baud rate/
Termination setting.
