Channel Plus H721, H721C User Manual

ChannelPlus Video Camera

The H721 video cameras are solid state cameras designed to fit standard single gang

J-boxes. The H721 must be used with one of its companion channel injectors

(H511HHR or H511BID). When used with an H511, video received from the
H721 is used to create a new channel to add to existing television channels.
The H721 is connected to the H511 by a single run of CAT-5 wire and does not
need to be separately powered. The camera mount is weather-resistant and
comes with a standard single-gang gasket. The brass cover-plate may be
painted to match a house color.

Twomodels are available:

Model H721

Black & White, 0.3 lux, 3.6 mm lens

Model H721C

Color, 6 lux, 3.6 mm lens

Note: The H721 is not a standalone video camera

Use only with an H511 channel injector.

Typical Installation

Connect the H721 camera using only method:
1 Terminate cable with a CAT-5 jack and connect to the H511 using

supplied RJ45 jumper. (Also see example H628 manual).

2 Wire camera or wall plate directly to the 8 position terminal block

matching the CAT-5 wire colors to the colors on the terminal block.
Insert wires and tighten screws.

Locating the Camera

The camera ‘looks’ straight out from the cover-plate. For a front door application,
place the camera lens 66 inches off the ground, adjacent to the door.

Insert wire into terminal block and tighten screws. Use the color bar to match
wire colors. The color bar has two rows, one for CAT-5 and one for quad wire:

- For CAT-5 wire, remove the default resistor and use all 8 wires.

- For quad wire , leave default resistor in place and match four color wire.

The H721/H721C was designed to work with CAT-5 wiring. Although the system will function with

*

quad wire, CAT-5 delivers the highest quality picture. CAT-5 allows the use of an automatic line
length sensor and picture compensator. Quad wire does not take advantage of this enhancement.

Painting the Cover-Plate

The brass cover-plate may be painted to match the house color. First, remove
the camera from the plate. Lightly sand the plate using 300-400 grit wet/dry
paper. Use a good quality metal primer that is rated for exterior use. Before
applying the primer, follow the manufacturers instructions for cleaning the plate.
Standard house paints may now be used.
