Installation

Placed Horizontally

Place the camera on a flat surface.
If you have to place the camera on a sloping surface,

ensure that the slope is less than ±15° or the camera may
not function properly.

Mounted on Top of a Display

Use the L-shaped bracket and its accessories to secure the

The VPC800 can be mounted on top of a display(such as TV set and monitor), wall-mounted,
ceiling-mounted, or placed horizontally, which you can select based on the site requirements.

If the displayis thicker than 170 mm or the display is wall-mounted, the VPC800 can be

installed in any possible way other than be mounted on top of the display.

If the display is 170 mm or thinner, the VPC800 can be mounted on top of a display or placed

horizontally.

VPC800 on top of the display. The following figure shows
the installation procedure.

4

Wall-Mounted

Use the L-shaped bracket and its accessories to mount the VPC800 on
the wall.

Prepare the hammer drill, rechargeable battery-powered electric
screwdriver, hammer, and Phillips screwdriver by yourself.

Drill four holes in the wall for mounting the bracket, each with a
diameter of 8 mm (0.31 in.) and depth of 35 mm (1.38 in.). The two
holes in the upper part must be parallel to the horizontal plane to ensure
that the endpoint is horizontally installed. Then follow the steps in the
following figure to install the VPC800.

6

Ceiling-Mounted

Purchase a bracket for inverted installation and mount the VPC800 onto
the ceiling using the bracket. The bracket must meet the following
requirements:

It is able to bear a weight of at least 10.5 kg (18.74 lb) and has a

thickness between 2 mm (0.08 in.) to 3 mm (0.12 in.).

It comes with a location pillar, which can be inserted into the location
hole of the VPC800. The distance between the screw hole on the bracket
and location pillar must be 14.5 mm (0.57 in.), which is also the distance
between the two holes on the bottom of the VPC800.

It comes with a screw hole and one or more 1/4"-20UNC screw.

Note

When attaching the purchased bracket and VPC800, it is recommended
that you use a 1/4"-20UNC screw delivered with the purchased bracket
rather than a 1/4"-20UNC screw delivered with the VPC800 because the
length of the latter may be too long or too short to hold up the purchased
bracket.

Others

Install the camera on a tripod (separately purchased).

Powering the Camera On

Connect the cables and power adapter to the camera and press the power button. About 18
seconds later, video is displayed on the display device. The camera faces forward the first time
you power it on. Afterward, the camera restores to the position before its power-off each time the
camera is powered on.

If the HD-VI port of the camera is connected to a TEX0 videoconferencing endpoint or a TX
series videoconferencing endpoint, you do not need to connect the power adapter to the camera

Steady yellow: The camera is in sleep mode.
Blinking green: The camera is upgrading.
Blinking red: The camera is faulty.

Controlling the Camera

The camera supports PTZ and lens control using an HD videoconferencing endpoint or remote
control.

To control the camera using an HD videoconferencing endpoint, connect the camera to the
videoconferencing endpoint using a serial cable. The maximum control length (cable length) is
50 m.

To control the camera using a remote control, set the infrared (RC) mode to IR-LOCAL or
RF-LOCAL.

Use the remote control to hide or display the On-Screen Display (OSD) configuration screen.
On the screen, you can perform image-related settings, for example, setting the image output
format and enable or disable the image inversion mode.

The following table describes the keys on the remote control, which are used to control the OSD
configuration screen.
