Mounting the Camera

The camera is for outdoor mounting on a wall or under a lintel.

Installing the Camera

The camera is a ball camera and therefore can be set to most angles. First remove the camera dome
cover by unscrewing the three Torx screws using the tool supplied. A cord is attached to the dome
cover to avoid dropping it. If the camera is to be installed outdoors then before screwing the
camera base to the wall, ceiling or lintel, put silicon sealant over the holes on the bottom of the base
and around the cable entry point. Then secure the base with screws. Adjust camera position and
angle. As this is a fixed lens there are no zoom and focus controls.

Powering the Camera

The SEE515 runs on a 12V DC regulated power supply. The camera is provided with a fly lead
with a mini power red 2.1mm DC socket. It is recommended to use a power supply that is rated
higher than the current consumption of the camera i.e. the current consumption is 260mA with IRs
on so add approximately 50% headroom, and use a regulated power supply rated at 500mA or
above. The camera is polarity sensitive so connections must be correctly made.

Connecting the camera to control equipment

The dome camera comes with a fly lead for power, HD-TVI video out and CVBS (analogue
output). Connect the camera to control equipment via a female BNC-BNC lead. The green BNC is
for HD-TVI and the yellow CVBS is for analogue output. When using a co-ax type cable such as
RG59 or similar, the outer braid of the co-ax provides the “0V GROUND” connection and the inner
core provides the “Video” connection.

SEE515 Internal* HD-TVI Camera

This HD-TVI camera has a 2.1 Mega
Pixel 3.6mm fixed lens, 12x IRs with
15 metre range, IP66 rating, Panasonic
CCD, Wide Dynamic Range, Digital
Zoom, OSD menu with options for
Privacy masking, Sens-Up & Motion
and a separate (analogue connection).

The SEE515B (Black) or SEE515W (White)
cameras produce exceptional quality images
using the Panasonic CCD providing HD
1080P resolution. The true day/night
mechanical filter provides excellent colour
reproduction.

The cameras have Coaxitron Control for changing the OSD menu specifications via
the DVR or remote network connection, or via the camera joystick.

* Although this camera is classified for internal use, the camera can be effectively
used outdoors providing screw holes in the base of the camera are adequately
