2. Before installing the camera in its final location, connect the router

to “Data In” on the PoE injector and connect the injector’s “Data & Power Out” port to the Camera using Cat-5 network cables. Note: Runs can be

no longer than 100 meters. Connect the PoE injector to a power outlet. You may eliminate the PoE injector by using a PoE-enabled router.

3. If you intend to take advantage of the camera’s onboard heater, the camera must be powered using a 12VDC/24VAC power supply. Attach the camera’s “Power” connector (Step 1, connector 2) to the power cable adapter using the optional Phoenix connector and plug in a power supply to the female barrel connector. When using a separate power supply, the PoE injector is no longer necessary. Instead use a Cat-5 network cable to connect the camera’s network jack to the router.

4. If the connections have been made correctly, the network jack on the camera will light green and yellow. This will be your sign to continue.

Outdoor installations require that you use the provided liquid tight conduit connector. Please contact CheckVideo Support for installation instructions.

4 INSTALL CAMERA

To optimize event detection, place your CheckVideo HD Camera as follows:

• HEIGHT: Each camera must be installed 8 to 20 feet o the ground.

• DISTANCE: If you are mainly detecting people at a 3mm focal length, the distance between the camera and the people you wish to detect should be 15 to 50 feet. If you are primarily concerned with detecting vehicles, the range is 40 to 150 feet.

The CheckVideo Camera Placement Guide includes a summary checklist on improving your camera placement.
