The H585 Color CCTV Camera/Door Station provides 
a significant upgrade in performance at a greatly 
reduced price as compared a separate door speaker 
and camera station configuration.
The H585 features a new color camera enclosed in 
a die-cast aluminum housing. The camera can be 
rotated 90 degrees allowing the door station to be 
mounted horizontally or vertically. A flexible mounting 
bracket allows the dealer to optimally adjust the 
viewing angle.
The camera's high-resolution, low lux 1/3" CCD 
element provides clear images even in low light 
conditions. Built-in automatic iris control ensures 
an optimal picture on bright, sunny days without 
"blooming" or "washouts". The camera’s fixed focallength lens has a horizontal viewing angle of 120 
degrees with no "fish eye" distortion. 
The H585 also features an extremely sensitive 
microphone and new slim profile door speaker for fullduplex communication from any touchtone phone in 
the house. 
PREWIRING AND INSTALLING THE  
H585I/H585B/H585C
The H585 features a new design which separates the 
doorbell button from the door station assembly. This 
enables the doorbell to be installed in a conventional 
doorbell location, and the door station mounted higher 
up for optimum viewing. 
Additionally, we have provided a matching Brass 
(H585B), Chrome (H585C), or Ivory (H585I) doorbell 
button with each unit.    
NOTE: BE SURE TO PULL THE DOORBELL 
WIRE THROUGH THE BACK OF THE H588

HORIZONTALLY OR VERTICALLY MOUNTING THE H585
In order to install the H585 in the H588, 
the H585’s Trim Brackets must first be 
mounted to the front of the H588 as 
shown. 
See Figure 2. 
The H585 ships ready for horizontal 
installation. Should you choose to mount 
the H585 vertically, the H588 must also 
be mounted vertically and the camera 
module must be rotated 90 degrees. 
NOTE: Regardless of the H585’s  
orientation, always make sure the wire 
protruding from the rear of the camera 
module is located in the UPPER-RIGHT 
corner when viewed from the rear! See 
Figure 3
Once the camera module has been 
repositioned, be sure to tighten the 
bracket screw, securing the camera in 
the desired position.

ADJUSTING THE VIEWING 
ANGLE
The camera's viewing angle may also 
be adjusted +/- 15 degrees by carefully 
twisting the Camera Bracket.
POWERING THE H585 FROM 
A REMOTE LOCATION
Most installations will require the H585 
be powered from a remote location (i.e. 
the main equipment location). 
To accomplish this, remove the 
power connector from the power 
supply (included) and the H585 as 
shown to the J-Box wires - be sure 
to maintain proper polarity on these 
and the remotely located power supply 
connections. NOTE: DO NOT remove 
the H585 yellow (video) RCA jack 
connector!
Camera 
Wire
1. Use pliers or a 7/16 wrench to loosen 
  the Set Screw and rotate the camera.
2. Make sure the Camera Wire is located 
  in the upper right corner when the 
  H585 is viewed from the rear. 
3. Adjust the viewing angle by carefully 
  twisting the Camera Bracket. 
Figure 3 - Whether mounted horizontally or vertically, the Camera Wire 
should always protrude from the UPPER-RIGHT corner when the H585 is 
viewed from the rear.
