INTRODUCTION Section 1

The Response Wired Internal Dome Camera is a colour, day camera. The camera easily
connects to your TV/ VCR/DVR for the protection of your home, office, etc.

SAFETY AND INSTALLATION TIPS:

Do not attempt to open or expose the camera unit with the power adaptor plug connected
to avoid any risk of personal injury.

When installing CCTV camera(s), always follow manufacturer’s advice when using power
tools, steps, ladders, etc. and wear suitable protective equipment (e.g. safety goggles) when
drilling holes. Before drilling holes through a ceiling check for hidden electricity cables and
water pipes. The use of a cable/pipe detector is advisable.

When installing any cameras with this unit, it is advisable to use cable conduit to protect any
video/ power extension cables from being exposed and to prevent/reduce the chances of the
cables being tampered with.

To prevent a fire or electrical shock hazard, do not attempt to open the housing of the unit
while it is exposed to rain, water or wet conditions. The dome camera should only be
installed in dry internal conditions as it is not weatherproof. There are no user serviceable
parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

Please read before you start:

Always use discretion when installing CCTV surveillance equipment especially
when there is perceived policy. Enquire regarding local regulations applicable
to the lawful installation of video recording/surveillance. Third party consent
may be required.

INSTALLATION Section 3

Note: The Response Dome Camera is only suitable for internal use and should not be

installed outside. It is also recommended to install the extension cables for the dome
camera in the ceiling and passed down the wall through a cable conduit.

1. Unscrew the rim part of the dome cover
from its base as shown below. Once the
cover is removed, take care not to touch
any of the exposed electronic circuitry to
avoid any possible damage to the
camera (Fig. 1).

2. Use the base of the camera to mark out
the key hole mounting holes and the
cable connector’s hole on the ceiling.

3 Drill 2 x 5mm holes for the mounting bracket’s ceiling plugs and 1 x 20mm hole for

the camera’s video and power plugs to pass through the ceiling.

4. Once the cable hole and mounting holes have been made in the ceiling, feed the
connectors of the extension cables through the ceiling, the largest one first. The
camera is supplied fitted with a short piece of cable terminated with a video BNC
female plug and a female power plug. Connect the male end of the video BNC
plug and male power plug from the extension cable into the camera end. Push the
cables into the ceiling before mounting the base.

the tilt and panning positions of the camera lens as shown (Fig. 3).

6. Refit the cover of the camera on to its base.

7. If required, fit the BNC to RCA adaptor into the other end of the extension cable to
allow you to plug directly into the video input of your TV/VCR. Connect the 12VDC
power supply plug into the extension cable also

Note: If you are using this camera with a CCTV 4 channel DVR where the video
input channels use BNC female connectors, then simply plug the other end of the
extension cable in without using the supplied adaptor.

8. Tune your TV/VCR/DVR to an auxiliary (AUX), A/V or video mode to view the
camera.

(Note: Refer to your TV/VCR/DVR’s owner’s manual for setting this up).

9. If the position of the camera needs further adjusting after the system is powered
up, ensure the power is isolated from the cameras when removing the cover again
to prevent the risk of any shock.
