Installation
Complete all the necessary programming before you install the dome camera. This
chapter provides information on how to install the dome camera.
Use a control keyboard, such as the GE KTD-405/KTD-405-2D keypad or other control
device, to control the dome camera.
Installation environment
When installing your product, consider these factors:
• Handling: Handle the camera carefully. Avoid striking, shaking, etc. Improper
handing or storage could damage the camera.
• Electrical: Install electrical wiring carefully. It should be done by qualified service
personnel. The input electricity to the unit has a tolerance of 24 VAC ± 10%. Do
not overload the power cord or adapter.
• Ventilation: Ensure that the location planned for the installation of the camera is
well ventilated.
• Temperature: Do not operate the camera beyond the specified temperature,
humidity or power source ratings. The operating temperature of the indoor
camera is between 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F) and that of the outdoor camera is
between -30°C to 50°C (-22°F to 122°F),. Humidity is below 90%.
• Moisture: Do not expose the indoor camera to rain or moisture, or try to operate it
in wet areas. The indoor camera is designed for indoor use or locations only
where it is protected from rain and moisture. Turn the power off immediately if
the camera is wet and ask a qualified service person for servicing. Moisture can
damage the camera and also create the danger of electric shock.
• Cleaning: Clean only with a dry cloth. If the dirt is difficult to remove, use a mild
liquid non-abrasive detergent and wipe gently.
• Protect from strong light: Never face the camera towards the sun. Do not aim
the camera at bright objects. Whether the camera is in use or not, never aim it at
TruVision Mini PTZ 12X Camera User Manual 5
1BChapter 2: Installation
the sun or other extremely bright objects. Otherwise, the camera may be smeared
or damaged.
• Servicing: Do not attempt to service this camera yourself. Any attempt to
dismantle or remove the covers from this product will invalidate the warranty and
may also result in serious injury. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Unpacking the dome camera
When you receive the product, check the package and contents for damage, and
verify that all items are included. If any of the items are damaged or missing, please
contact your local supplier.
Items shipped with the dome camera include:

Removing the protective cover from the outdoor dome camera
The outdoor dome camera is shipped with a protective cover and PE sheet on the
dome camera for protection. These must be removed before installation.
To remove the protective cover and PE sheet
1. Unpack the dome camera.
2. Turn the dome camera upside down and
place it on the cushion. Then rotate the
outdoor top mount bracket counterclockwise
and detach it from the main dome camera
housing.
3. Remove the protective cover and PE sheet
from the dome camera.
4. Use an applicator brush and smear some
lubricant on the surface of the bubble
waterproof rubber gasket.
Then attach the bubble to the dome camera
body by first aligning the center point on the
cover with one of the four holes on the dome
camera housing, as shown.
5. Using both hands on either side of the
bubble, gently press down the bubble. Make
sure the two slotted screws and the screw
hole on the bubble align with the three holes
on the dome camera housing.
TruVision Mini PTZ 12X Camera User Manual 7
1BChapter 2: Installation
Caution: DO NOT press on the top of the bubble
as shown in the figure as it might damage the
unit.
6. Screw the bubble and dome camera body
together with the supplied M3
standard/security screw. Use the supplied
security torx to fasten the security screws.
7. Further secure the bubble by turning the two
slotted screws counterclockwise so that they
touch the dome camera housing.
8. Set the DIP switches.
Dome camera DIP switches
Configure the dome camera’s ID and communication protocol before connecting the
analog dome camera to other devices. The DIP switches used for configuring these
settings are located on the top of the dome camera housing. See Figure 3 on page 9
for the location of the DIP switches on both the indoor and outdoor dome cameras.
The 22-pin connector for I/O interface cable connection is located on the back plate.

Setting the dome camera communication protocol
The TruVision Mini PTZ 12X Camera can use several different protocols for
communication. To select a protocol, you must set the protocol DIP switches to the
correct sequence of 1s (on) and 0s (off).
To set a dome camera protocol using the DIP switches
1. Locate the protocol DIP switch block (A, Figure 3 on page 9).
2. Using Table 3 below, find the DIP switch sequence for the desired protocol and set
the switches accordingly.

Setting the RS-485 communication
RS-485 is the interface that connects the dome camera to the control device.
Consequently the RS-485 setup of the dome camera and the control device must be
identical.
Locate the communication DIP switch block (see B, Figure 3 on page 9). See Figure 4
below for an explanation of the communication DIP switches of the dome camera.

3. Termination
4. Line lock
5. System initialization
6. Not used
The RS-485 default setting is half-duplex (see Figure 4 above). This setting should only
be changed by a qualified CCTV specialist. DIP switches SW3 and SW4 are used for
termination and Line Lock adjustment respectively. The SW5 DIP switch is used to
restore the dome camera to the factory default status.
Figure 5: RS-485 setting
Half-duplex (Default)
Full-duplex
Setting the dome camera site ID
Before turning on the dome camera, you must set the dome camera site ID. Each
dome camera connected to the same network must have a unique ID. Use the 10-bit
DIP switch to set the dome camera’s site ID setting.
To set a dome camera site’s ID
1. Locate the dome camera site ID DIP switch block (E, Figure 3 on page 9).
2. Using Table 5 on page 13, determine which DIP switches when turned on will add
up to the site ID number for that dome camera. See Figure 6 on page 14 for an
example.

Wiring the dome camera
The TruVision Mini PTZ 12X Camera is shipped with a 24 VAC I/O interface cable (see
Figure 8 below). This cable facilitates installation as there is only one cable to
connect to the dome camera.
Figure 8: 24 VAC I/O interface cable
Dome camera 22-pin connector
1. Power input cable: Provides 24 VAC power supply to the dome camera.
When wiring the power cable, ensure that the ground wire is terminated into the middle pin of the power terminal
block.
2. Video output cable: Sends video signals to a remote viewing site. A coaxial cable is recommended.
3. Alarm cable.
4. RS-485 serial data connector: This twisted pair cable carries serial commands from a control device to the dome
camera. A CAT 5, 24 gauge cable is recommended. (See “Cable requirements” on page 3 for more information.)
Caution: During installation carefully pull the cables so as not to damage them. It is
recommended to fasten the cables once they are connected.
To wire the dome camera
1. Connect the 22-pin connector of the I/O interface cable to its connector in the
base of the dome camera. See Figure 3 on page 9 for its location.
2. Connect the crimp-on BNC connector of the video output to the coaxial video
cable of a monitor or DVR.
