entering the camera along the cables.

2. Any PoE, power, audio and I/O cables are waterproofed using

waterproof silicon rubber or the like.

3. The silica gel bag loses its effectiveness when the dry camera is

opened. To prevent the lens from fogging up, replace the silica gel bag
every time you open the camera, and conceal the gel bag in camera
within 2 minutes of exposing to open air.

Chapter 1 Mini Fixed Dome & Mini Fixed Rugged Dome

The Mini Fixed Dome (GV-MFD) and Mini Fixed Rugged Dome (GV-MDR)
are fixed, mini-sized ceiling-mount network cameras.

The GV-MDR series is designed for outdoor surveillance, conforming to
IK10 and IP67 standards. The camera is adjustable in 3 axis (pan, tilt and
rotate) and can be connected through PoE.

The GV-MFD series is designed for indoor surveillance. Adjustable in 2
axis (pan and tilt), the camera also supports PoE.

The super low lux models can provide color live view in near darkness
and the WDR Pro models can process scenes of contrasting intensity of
lights. For details, see 1.2 Features.

1.5.2 Power and Network Connection

Use one of the following methods to power on and connect your camera to
network:

 Wired connection with PoE: Use a Power over Ethernet (PoE)

adapter to connect the camera to the network, and the power will be
provided at the same time.

 Wired connection with network cable (GV-MFD Series only):

Connect the camera with a standard network cable and use the power
adapter to supply power. For details, see Powering On for GV-MFD
Series below to assemble the terminal block with power adapter.

 Wireless connection (GV-MFD1501 Series / 2401 Series / 2501

Series / 3401 Series / 5301 Series only):

3.4 Installation

The Target Mini Fixed Rugged Dome can be installed on the wall or ceiling.
You must use the supplied waterproof rubber set to waterproof the cable.

1. Paste the installation sticker where you want to install, and drill two
holes that are at a diagonal. To run the cables inside the wall or
ceiling, drill a larger opening as shown below.

Figure 3-2

4. Unscrew the three screws as indicated below. A back plate can be
separated from the bottom.

Figure 3-4

5. Use the 2 supplied screws to secure the back plate onto the ceiling or
the wall where the screw anchors were inserted.

Figure 3-5

6. Prepare an Ethernet cable with the RJ-45 connector on one end only.

45

7. Remove the waterproof cap from the cable opening and thread the
power and / or network cable(s) through the opening.
