2. Unless the unit is specifically marked as a NEMA Type 3, 3R, 3S, 4, 4X, 6, or 6P enclosure, it is
designed for indoor use only and must not be installed where exposed to rain and moisture.
3. Use only installation methods and materials capable of supporting four times the maximum

WELCOME
Thank you for purchasing Pelco’s Camclosure® integrated camera system with LowLight™, DSS
(digital slow shutter) technology. Your new ICS150 Series in-ceiling dome system includes a highresolution, low light, color camera with auto iris and varifocal lens.
The LowLight color camera has extended DSS settings to enhance the low light performance of the
camera by automatically adjusting the number of fields of integration. This slows the picture frame
rate and increases the camera’s sensitivity in low light conditions.
Prior to installation and operation of your new system thoroughly familiarize yourself
with the information in this manual.

INSTALL THE BACK BOX
REMOVE THE LOWER DOME
Loosen the tamper-resistant screws with the supplied 1/8-inch hollow screwdriver bit. Remove the
lower dome and place it to the side.
INSTALL THE BACK BOX
The installation methods for the ICS150 back box include the following:
• Attach Directly to a Wall/Ceiling
• Attach to a 4S Deep Electrical Box
• Install in a Ceiling Tile
Select the best method for your installation, and then refer to the following pages for instructions.
Attach Directly to a Wall/Ceiling
Refer to Figure 1 for the following steps.
1. Cut a hole 3.5 inches (9 cm) in diameter in the ceiling or wall using the adapter plate as a
template.
2. Connect the video cable.
3. Connect the power wires.
Voltage Red Wire Black Wire
12 VDC + Ground
24 VAC ~ ~
AC Operation Only – If you are wiring more than one Camclosure system to the same
transformer, connect one side of the transformer to the red wire on all units, and connect the
other side of the transformer to the black wire on all units. Failure to connect all of the units
the same way will cause the cameras to be out of phase with each other and may produce a
vertical roll when switching between cameras.
4. Attach the back box to the wall/ceiling.
