using the “VB Initial Setting Tool” on the Setup CD-ROM.
For details on how to operate the “VB Initial Setting Tool”, see “Operation Guide”.

1

Determine an installation position for the camera and drill holes in the ceiling

Use the included template to determine the positions of the fixing screw holes and wiring hole
(

40 mm ( 1.6 in.)) according to the camera orientation. Next, cut out the wiring hole, and drill

the fixing screw holes in the the ceiling.

2

Loosen the three lock screws on the dome case and remove the dome case

Special temper-resistant screws are used for the dome case lock screws. Use the included
dome case lock screw wrench.

3

Remove the tape and the inner cover

Remove the 4 pieces of tape that prevent lens rotation during shipping, and push the inner
cover in the direction of the arrows to remove it. Then remove the 2 pieces of tape attached to
the base of the lens.

4

Open the wiring hole according to the installation method

Use a box cutter to cut a cross shape into the wiring hole cover in order to guide cables
through. Do not remove the wiring hole cover.

Use a coin to unscrew the wiring hole cover from the side through which cables will be
guided. Screw the wiring hole cover into the other wiring hole. You can fit a composite pipe
(NPT 3/4 inch threaded hole) to the wiring hole.

5

Secure the safety wire

Securely attach the safety wire to an anchor or structure. After securing one end of the safety
wire to the ceiling, secure the other end to the camera using the screw that is fastened to the
camera.

6

Guide the LAN cable through the wiring hole

When using an external power supply, guide the power interface cable through the wiring
hole. Guide the I/O interface cable and the audio interface cable (included) through the wiring
hole if necessary.

Important

When using the AC Adapter PA-V17/PA-V18 (sold separately), cut the cable
tie and remove the ferrite core. Be sure not to damage the power cable when
cutting the cable tie.

7

Fix the camera to the ceiling

Fix the camera at three points to the ceiling using the appropriate screws. Three ceiling fixing
screw holes are located on the camera. You must provide screws that correspond to the
ceiling fixing screw holes.

Connecting the Camera

Power Connection

Power can be supplied to the camera in the three ways described below.



PoE (Power over Ethernet)

The camera supports PoE functions. Power can be supplied to the camera by using a LAN cable
to connect it to a PoE HUB that conforms to the IEEE 802.3af standard.

Important

• Check with your dealer for more information about PoE HUB and Midspan technology.
Midspan (a LAN cable power supply device) is a device that, like a PoE HUB, supplies power to the
camera via a LAN cable.

• Some PoE HUBs allow current limits for each port, but applying limits may interfere with performance. If
using this type of PoE HUB, do not limit the operating current.

• Some PoE HUBs have total consumption current limits for ports, which can interfere with performance
when multiple ports are in use. For more information, check the instruction guide for your PoE HUB.

• When the camera is connected to a switching HUB, changing the connection while the camera is
operating may cause the HUB learning function to interfere with communication. Do not change the
connection when the camera is operating.

• The camera can also be connected to an AC adapter (sold separately) while receiving power from
a PoE HUB. In such cases, the PoE power supply is given priority, and the camera does not use the
power supply from the AC adapter (sold separately). When the PoE power supply is disconnected,
power is supplied automatically from the AC adapter (sold separately).
