Powering the Camera

The dome cameras are dual voltage i.e. you can use them on a 12V DC system or a 24V AC system. The camera has
built in power supply contr ol circuit for ease of connection ; this means that you can connect to any 12VDC or 24VAC
system without worrying about polarity or voltage regulation.
The camera is provided with a screw terminal on a fly lead that allows you to connect the power supply to it.

When powering the camera with a 12V DC power supply, ensure that the supply is regulated and has a continuous
rating of 100mA or higher per camera. It is recommended to use a power supply th at is rated higher than the current
consumption of the camera i.e. POW100 would be adequate for powering a sin gle camera but when powering two or
more you should look at the bigger power supplies that are available from System Q; this prevents the PSU from
running at its maximum rating for long periods of time.

If you are using the System Q Easy Connection Kit (CCT806/7) to power and conn ect your camera (12V models only)
please proceed as per the instructions supplied with The Easy Connection Kit. You will need to cut off the DC Plug
ONLY and use the bare wires to connect to the terminal strip. The 12V positive is the RED wire the 0V is the BLACK
wire.

Using 24V AC power

Using a suitable cable between the 24V AC power supply (POW600) and the camera you can connect t he
power to the cameras terminal strip either way around. As the power i s 24V AC, (alternating current), the
polarity is not important. You must use a separate cable for power and video. It is recommended you use a
2/4-core cabl e t o carry the AC power to the camera and use an RG59 or twisted pair cable to bring the video
signal back from the camera to the m onitor / control equipment.

Connecting the camera to control equipment.

The dome camera comes with a fly lead for power and video out. To reduce installation time the video out lead is
terminated into a male BNC connector. This allows the installer to effortlessly connect the camera to control
equipment via a female BNC-BNC lead.
Remember that the Video out fr om the camera is like any other electrical circuit and requires two wires to complete
the circuit. When using a co-ax type cable such as RG59 or similar, the outer braid of the co-ax provides the “0V
GROUND” conn ection a nd the inner core provid es the “Video” connection.

It is recommended that when you are first setting up the cameras that you use a short BNC-BNC cable to link the
camera directly to the monitor and to set it up at the same time. This allows you to both understand the camera and get
the very best out of this great product as you will be able to adjust the camera whilst looking at the monitor screen.
Obviously whilst you are setting up the camera, it does need to be powered!
