BEFORE INSTALLING
Your camera is shipped with a foam
collar inside the glass cover. This
collar protects the camera mechanism
from damage during shipping. It
must be removed and discarded
before powering up or operating the
camera in order to avoid damaging the
mechanism.
to avoid rough handling, dropping, or other abuse in order to prevent damage to the
optics or components inside the camera.
n
Camera should be installed in accordance with electrical standards including keeping
the camera and cable away from high voltage, using a transient voltage surge
protector (UL-1449) and using only the rated power supply.
n
Do not use strong or abrasive cleaners on camera body or lens. Use a damp cloth
for cleaning the housing and a lens cloth for the optics.
n
Do not attempt to disassemble the camera beyond removing the case to adjust
settings. Only authorized, trained technicians should service this camera.
n
The camera should not be immersed in water and should be mounted in a sheltered
location. Do not point camera directly at the sun or other strong light source.
Use the included torx (star) wrench to
loosen the three retaining bolts securing
the camera cover to the housing. You
should not remove the bolts from the
cover itself. Take care to not leave
fingerprints or debris on the inside of
the clear cover, or within the camera
housing while it is open.
Remove and discard the foam housing and then reattach the cover to the housing,
making sure that the seal is tight in order to maintain the camera’s weatherproofing.
If you will be changing your camera’s address or making other changes using the
internal DIP switches (see next page), then you should do so before closing up the
camera.

SETTING BAUD RATE AND ADDRESS
Unlike conventional security cameras,
PTZ cameras require an address and
a connection speed to be set in order
for them to properly operate. The
default settings for this camera are
an address of “1” and a baud rate of
9600 and using the Pelco-D protocol.
However, if your camera came as part
of a bundle, its address may have been
set to something other than “1”. Check
the Quick Install Poster that came
with your bundle for specific details.
If you are connecting the camera in
accordance to the instructions included
with the bundle, you should not have
to change any of its settings. In either
case, if you are only using a single
PTZ camera you generally do not have
to make any changes and you may
proceed to the next section. Please
consult your DVR’s manual for required
settings.
If you need to change your camera’s settings, they are made using a DIP (dual in-line
package) switch panel located within the camera itself. In general, it is easier to do
this before connecting the camera, but in some cases, you may need to change
settings while the camera is connected to the DVR. In this case, please make a
temporary connection by following the procedures laid out in the next section,
Connecting the Camera. Please be advised that adjusting these settings after
the camera is mounted can be difficult due to the panel potentially being inaccessible
because of location, position, etc.
To access the panel, one must remove the clear dome by first twisting the metal
collar around the dome counterclockwise and then removing the three screws
securing the plastic dome to the camera. Take care to not scratch the clear dome
while removing it. The circuit board on which the DIP switches are mounted is
visible below the camera in the bottom picture.
DIP switches are binary - meaning that they are either On or Off. Different
combinations of ones and zeroes on the board produce different settings. On
the QD6523ZH, there are a total of 12 DIP switches.The first eight are for setting
the address of the camera.The next block of four switches controls the baud
rate (switches 1 and 2) - which is the speed in bits per second at which the DVR
communicates with the camera for control. Switches 3 and 4 are for setting parity
which some DVRs use to detect for communication errors.
Your camera is set to a baud rate of 9600. This will allow you to effectively control
the camera up to 300 feet away. Areas with electronic interference may require
heavier or shielded cabling. The higher the setting (may be required by some DVRs),
the shorter the control distance.
