4. Connection

a. External Cable Connection

All the cameras will be connected to an RS485 adapter. A 0.5mm 8-core twisted pair will be used to connect the
dome camera and the RS485 adapter. An RJ45 crystal head is fixed on both ends of the twisted pair, which an be
inserted into the RS485 adapter and the RJ45 head of the dome camera.

Be very careful during the installation: touching live wires can cause life-threatening electroshocks.

Keep this device away from rain and moisture.

Unplug the mains lead before opening the housing.

Do not open the housing; risk of electroshocks.

K2: BNC jack
K3: RS485 input and output terminal block
K4: 12VDC input terminal block
K5: 12VDC input terminal block
JP1: RS485 resistor
D4: indicator light

Note: K3 and K4 are two different power inputs with different PIN configuration.

b. RS485 Resistor

Always place the RS485 resistor of the last
camera in the series on ON in order to prevent
reflection and disturbance of the RS485
communication with other devices.

5. Protocol Setup

DIP switches 7 and 8 define the camera protocol. Please, refer to the figure below to set the Pelco-P or the Pelco-D
protocol.

Camera ID Protocol

DIP Switch Setting:

Press F4 on the controller and select the same protocol as the one on the camera.

6. Camera ID Setup

Set the binary number for the camera ID by changing the DIP switch (0 = OFF, 1 = ON).

Example: Setting the camera ID as 10 (ID = 0 + 2 + 0 + 8 + 0 = 10).

• You can set the camera ID from 0 to 63. Do not use the value 0 as ID.

• The default camera ID is 1.

• If you desire operating the camera with a controller, the camera ID setting and the controller ID must be identical.

When using more than one camera, it is recommended to memorize the camera IDs and their camera locations.

• Camera ID under Pelco-D = camera ID under Pelco-P/Vicanyx -1. Camera ID 2 under Pelco-D = camera ID under

Pelco-P/Vicanyx.

7. Installation

• A qualified technician should install and service this device according to the local regulation.

• Do not leave fingerprints on the lens as they will affect the picture quality. Clean the lens with a soft cloth. Do not

use alcohol or solvents.

• The auto scan range can be adjusted by the controlling software. The dome does not have any limit stop bolts.

Tilt limit is not adjustable; do not try to make any adjustments by hand.

a. Ceiling Mounting

1. Choose a mounting location. Drill a Ø30mm hole for the cabling in the ceiling using an

appropriate hole saw. If the ceiling isn’t firm enough, install a suitable board to strengthen.
Now, install the mounting bracket for dome cameras (CAMCOLD/CB2).

2. Connect the 8-core twisted pair to the RS485 adapter and slide it through the hole in the

ceiling. Connect the other end of the cable to the dome camera. For the correct wiring of
the RS485 adapter, refer to “Connection”.

3. Place the dome onto the mounting bracket. Align the three tabs on the dome camera with

the three slots on the mounting bracket. Push and turn the camera in a clockwise direction
until it locks in place.

2. Open the back of the wall bracket (CAMCOLD/B1) and slide the cable through the hole.

3. Connect the cable to the RS485 adapter. Mount the wall bracket onto the wall and fix it

using the screws included with the wall bracket.

4. Connect the twisted pair to the dome camera. Place the camera onto the wall bracket.
