Electrical Safety Notice and Warnings
Warning:
1. Read the installation instructions before you connect the unit to a power
source.
2. Electrical safety should always be observed. All electrical connections must be
performed by a certified electrician.
3. Use the supplied power supply and protect against static electricity,
ground faults and power surges.
4. If the unit uses a three-wire power cord, make sure that the product is properly
grounded when in use. NEVER remove or otherwise attempt to bypass the
ground pin of the power cord. Do not operate the unit in the absence of a
suitably installed ground conductor.
5. If you use an extension cord with this system, make sure that the total ampere
rating on the products plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the
extension cord ampere rating.
6. To avoid possible shock hazards or damaging the unit, assure that the positive
and negative of the power leads are properly connected to the terminal block
connector before plugging it into the unit or turning on the power source.
7. In the following situations, the electric power should be turned off immediately
and appropriate repairs, replacements or remedies should be taken if:
The power line or plug (if used) is damaged, frayed or shows
heavy wear.
The unit has been physically crushed or deformed.
The unit has been exposed to water.
The unit has been exposed to, or shows signs of damage from,
fire, intense heat, heavy smoke, fumes, or vapors.
Electrical connections of the unit become abnormally hot or generate
smoke.
The unit has been dropped, damaged or shows signs of loose internal
parts.
The unit does not operate properly.

Minimizing EMI and RFI
When wires run for a significant distance in an electromagnetic field, electromagnetic interference
(EMI) can occur. Strong EMI (e.g. lightning or radio transmitters) can destroy the units and can pose
an electrical hazard by conducting power through lines and into the system. Poor quality or worn
wiring can result in radio frequency interference (RFI). To minimize the effects of EMI and RFI,
consult your reseller.
Site Preparation
There are several requirements that should be properly addressed prior to installation at the site.
The following specifications are requirements for proper installation and operation of the unit:
Ambient Environment Conditions: Avoid positioning the unit near heaters or heating
system outputs. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight. Use proper maintenance to ensure that
the unit is free from dust, dirt, smoke, particles, chemicals, smoke, water or water
condensation, and exposure to EMI.
Accessibility: The location used should allow easy access to unit connections and cables.
Safety: Cables and electrical cords should be routed in a manner that prevents safety
hazards, such as from tripping, wire fraying, overheating, etc. Ensure that nothing rests on
the unit’s cables or power cords.
Ample Air Circulation: Leave enough space around the unit to allow free air circulation.
Cabling Considerations: Units should be placed in locations that are optimal for
the type of video cabling used between the unit and the cameras and external
devices. Using a cable longer than the manufacturer’s specifications for optimal
video signal may result in degradation of color and video parameters.
Physical Security: The unit provides threat detection for physical security systems. In order
to ensure that the unit cannot be disabled or tampered with, the system should be installed
with security measures regarding physical access by trusted and un-trusted parties.
Network Security: The unit transmits over IP to security personnel for video surveillance.
Proper network security measures should be in place to assure networks remain operating
and free from malicious interference. The unit is intended for installation on the backbone
of a trusted network.
Electrostatic Safeguards: The unit as well as other equipment connected to it (relay
outputs, alarm inputs, racks, carpeting, etc.) shall be properly grounded to prevent
electrostatic discharge.
The physical installation of the unit is the first phase of making the unit operational in a security
plan. The goal is to physically place the unit, connect it to other devices in the system, and to
establish network connectivity.
Overview

2 Overview
The Quasar CP-3211 and CP-4221 series HD PTZ camera provides real-time video with high-definition
quality at HD 720p or Full HD 1080p, respectively. With 18x, 20x, or 30x optical zoom and high-speed
pan-tilt-zoom functionality, the Quasar HD PTZ camera can quickly cover a wide monitoring area
with a high level of detail. Multiple streams can be run simultaneously, providing an ideal solution
when differing levels of image quality are required. The camera can increase frame rate and level of
detail when events are triggered. In addition, DVTEL's Scene Adaptive Algorithms provide the highest
image quality with the lowest bandwidth and storage requirements.
The Quasar CP-3211 HD PTZ series includes the following models:
CP-3211-180 HD 720p indoor camera with 18x optical zoom
CP-3211-181 HD 720p outdoor camera with 18x optical zoom
CP-3211-181-HPoE, HD 720p, 60W, Ultra PoE with 18x optical zoom
The Quasar CP-4221 HD PTZ series includes the following models:
CP-4221-200 Full HD 1080p indoor camera with 20x optical zoom
CP-4221-201 Full HD 1080p outdoor camera with 20x optical zoom
CP-4221-201-HPoE, Full HD 1080p, 60W, Ultra PoE with 20x optical zoom

5 Installation
Follow the instructions below for indoor and outdoor installation of the Quasar PTZ series of
cameras.
5.1 Indoor Installation
This section applies to the following cameras:
CP-3211-180
CP-4221-200
Read the instructions provided in this chapter thoroughly before installing the camera. Following are
additional considerations for indoor installation:
There must be a fuse or circuit breaker at the starting point of the electrical wiring
infrastructure.
For indoor installations, such as industrial applications, the camera must be protected from
hostile external elements (e.g. corrosive environment, metallic dust, extreme temperatures,
soot, moisture, over spray, etc.)
Do not place the camera on or near radiators and heat sources.
All electrical work must be performed in accordance with local regulatory requirements.
5.2 Outdoor Installation
This section applies to the following cameras:
CP-3211-181
CP-3211-181-HPoE
CP-4221-201
CP-4221-201-HPoE
CP-4221-301-HPOE
Read the instructions provided in this chapter thoroughly before installing the camera. Following are
additional considerations for outdoor installation:
For outside wiring installation, always use weatherproof equipment, such as boxes,
receptacles, connectors, etc.
For electrical wiring, use the properly rated sheathed cables for conditions to which the
cable will be exposed (for example, moisture, heat, UV, physical requirements, etc.).
Plan ahead to determine where to install infrastructure weatherproof equipment. Whenever
possible, ground components to an outdoor ground.
Use best security practices to design and maintain secured camera access, communications
infrastructure, tamper-proof outdoor boxes, etc.
All electrical work must be performed in accordance with local regulatory requirements.

5.3 Power and Ethernet Cable Connection
Power Connection
Make sure the camera’s power cable is properly connected. Refer to Tables 1 to 4: CP Series Camera
Connector Designations. If using Power over Ethernet (PoE Plus), make sure that Power Sourcing
Equipment (PSE) is available on the connected network. All electrical work must be performed in
accordance with local regulatory requirements.
Ethernet Cable Connection
Category 5 Ethernet cable is recommended for network connection. For best transmission quality,
cable length should not exceed 100 meters (328 feet). Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the
RJ45 port on the Quasar HD PTZ camera and the other end to the network switch or PC.
See Figure 5: Indoor/Outdoor Connector Locations.
Note:
You can use an Ethernet crossover cable to connect the camera directly to a PC.
Check the status of the link indicator and activity indicator LEDs. If the LEDs are unlit, check the LAN
connection.
