Camera Care
In order to avoid damaging your camera, note the following points:
• Remove all packaging inserts and the protective lm from the dome cover before
using the camera.
• Do not touch the image surface of the sensor. If the sensor is accidentally touched,
only clean it using isopropanol.
• Do not expose the camera sensor to very bright light over a long period of time as
this may cause damage to the CCD sensor. The camera and lens set-up must be
correct to avoid possible damage due to long term exposure to bright light. A lens
with an automatic iris is recommended under these conditions.
Installation
The ICE xed dome camera is available in two versions: the ceiling mount version for installation
into a ceiling tile of up to 1.5” (38 mm) thickness; and the surface mount version for installation
directly onto a hard surface or mounting structure. When installing the outdoor vandal resistant
dome you must set the jumpers on the thermostat PCB to the correct supply voltage being used.

3 Using the template supplied at the rear of this booklet, mark and drill two 5/8”
(16 mm) holes at opposite sides of the large hole. Mark and cut a 4” (100 mm)
diameter hole. Check that the holes are large enough to enable the safety lugs on
the camera body to pass through.
Mark and drill the two screw holes for xing the camera body. Two pairs of screw
holes are provided on the camera body for ease of xing. Use only one pair of
screw holes. A 5 mm drill bit is suitable for use with the supplied wall plugs.
4 Connect the video cable to the BNC connector at the end of the ying lead or
directly to the BNC connector on the camera body. Use only one of the BNC
connectors to connect the video cable. Connect the power cable to the power
terminals. The camera operates from a 12V DC or 24V AC power supply.
Connections and polarity are indicated next to the terminals. The power supply
must be a UL Listed, Class 2 isolated type.
5 Optionally attach a safety chain (not supplied) to one of the lugs and secure the
other end of the safety chain to a xed object.
6 Insert the camera body into the hole and x it to the ceiling tile using either the
wood screws and wall plugs supplied or the two machine screws and sprung toggle
clips. Do not over-tighten the screws.
7 Optionally attach a local monitor to the test point using an DM/ICED-SERV service
connector (available separately) and adjust the camera as described earlier.
8 Visually align the screws on the dome front cover with the screw holes on the
camera body to assist in replacing the dome cover.
Replace the dome front cover and tighten the torx screws, taking care not to
trap the retaining cord in the edge of the front cover. Do not over-tighten the torx
screws.
Note: This dome uses non standard Torx screws for increased security, which can only be
unfastened using the provided tool.
Surface Mount Installation
Refer to the Quickstart section for more information.
Video and power cables enter the camera body inside a plastic or metal conduit either from
the side or rear of the camera.
1 Loosen the four torx screws on the front of the camera using the torx screw key
supplied.
2 Gently pull away the dome cover from the camera body and remove the plastic
shroud. The dome cover is attached to the camera body with a retaining cord. Do
not undo or cut this cord.
3 Unscrew one of the two large screws, either at the side or rear of the camera body,
depending on where the video and power cables are to enter the camera body.
Note that the screw is wrapped in PTFE tape. This is necessary to ensure that
moisture does not enter the camera body after the camera has been installed.

Camera Adjustment
Camera Position
The camera assembly is adjustable in all three axes. Adjust the camera until it is pointing in the
desired direction.
FOV & Focus
Use the levers on the varifocal lens to adjust the camera’s eld of view, and focus.
The DIP switches are located on the camera’s circuit board.
Backlight Compensation
The Backlight Compensation (BLC) feature compensates for back-lit scenes by enhancing objects in
the centre of the scene which would previously have been in silhouette. Select ON or OFF using the
BLC switch. Default is OFF.
AGC (Automatic Gain Control)
The Automatic Gain Control (AGC) feature can improve picture quality when levels of illumination
are low. Select ON or OFF using the AGC switch. For most applications the AGC feature should be
ON and is therefore the default setting.
Electronic Iris
The Electronic Iris (EI) feature compensates for excessive light levels by automatically adjusting the
shutter speed. For auto-iris lenses, the EI should be set to OFF. For manual lenses, EI should be
ON.
Line Lock
Choose INT (internal) or LL (adjustable). The LL setting allows ±180° phase adjustment via the two
LL Phase Advance/Retard buttons. Default is LL.
Pressing both buttons simultaneously will reset LL to the factory default setting.
The LL setting can be adjusted using the LL potentiometer available on some versions of this
product.
Day/Night
(DN Versions only)
This switch sets the light level at which the camera automatically switches between day and night
operation. Hi sets the camera to switch between day and night mode at higher light level. Lo sets the
switching point at a lower light level. The default setting is Lo.
When in Night mode, the IR cut lter is removed allowing infra red illumination to be used.
Colour Burst
(DN versions only)
The Colour Burst (CB) switch allows the colour burst component of the signal to be turned on or off.
When a day/night camera switches to night (mono) mode, the colour burst can be switched OFF
for a true monochrome signal. Note that some multiplexers/recorders detect video-loss if the colour
burst signal disappears. If problems are encountered with the multiplexer/recorder when the camera
switches to mono, try setting CB to ON. Default is CB OFF.
Lens Level
Adjust the lens iris level according to the lighting conditions.
1 Turn the Automatic Gain Control switch OFF
2 Adjust the Lens Level potentiometer so that a 1 V peak-to-peak signal is achieved.
Use care so as not to damage the potentiometer.
3 Turn the Automatic Gain Control switch ON
Vandal Resistant Domes
Local Video Out
Provision is made for the connection of a local video monitor to assist in setting up the camera. Use
the optional service connector DM/ICED-SERV (not supplied).
Final Assy
When all the connections and adjustments have been made, re-attach the camera liner and dome
cover.
