Introduction

The information in this manual provides quick installation and maintenance procedures for the V15CCM-IR-2
Series of High-Security Corner-Mounted Cell Cameras. These units should only be installed by a qualified
technician using approved materials in conformance with federal, state, and local codes. Read these
instructions thoroughly before beginning an installation. Refer to the complete manual, XX211, for details.

The V15CCM-IR-2 series is an integrated housing, camera, lens and IR illuminators system specifically
designed for use in custodial suites and prison cells. It is available in an analog version and two IP versions,
one that is fully compatible with all ViconNet® systems and an H.264 open-platform version. Refer to Table 1
for a list of model descriptions.

The housing is designed to fit into a corner; once installed, the base plate should be permanently sealed to
the wall so that the housing is ligature proof. The housing consists of a two part stainless steel assembly, a
fixed base plate and a removable front plate, that allows ease of installation and servicing. The front plate is
secured with Resistorx® torx screws and has two 10 mm Perspex® acrylic windows to protect the camera
and IR illuminators. The back of the front plate includes the camera/lens and all electronics. A secure access
plate covers the connectors for the keypad and monitor for setup.

The V15CCM-IR-2 series complies with FCC requirements for a Class A device and CE.

Installation

The wall/ceiling material must provide suitable strength to support the weight of the unit (3.5 lb/1.6 kg). Be
sure the area around the selected location is clear of obstacles (such as steel beams, headers, pipes,
electrical wiring, etc.) that would interfere with mounting. All cables must be routed to the installation location.

Verify that the accessory pack contains the items listed in Table 2.

1 Installation and operation instructions;

Mounting the Housing

The housing consists of two main assemblies, the camera mounting frame and the removable front plate,
where the camera and all electronics are mounted. The front plate is secured to the base plate with Resistorx
tamperproof screws. A special bit is supplied in the accessory pack for removing and replacing these screws.
When the installation is complete, retain the Torx bit in case access to the interior of the housing is required
later. Additionally, a rear cover is supplied for those installations requiring Canadian UL compliance or extra
protection from fire.

Installation without the rear cover:

Fire barrier; required for Canadian UL

compliance

ViconNet setup CD

1. Remove the front plate using the no. 20 Torx bit provided; retain the screws in a safe place. Using the
camera mounting frame as a template, mark the locations of the mounting holes on the three mounting
tabs (2 holes per tab). Open a hole in the wall or ceiling to accommodate routing the cables to the
camera.

2. Route all necessary cables to the location if not already done so.

3. Drill suitable holes for the hardware selected appropriate for the wall/ceiling material. The use of No. 8 (or
4 mm metric) mounting hardware is recommended. Use hollow-wall anchors or, if the housing is being
mounted on a sheet metal surface, use rivet nuts.

4. Secure the camera mounting frame to the wall/ceiling with fasteners appropriate for the mounting surface.
Route the cables through the access hole in the wall or ceiling.

5. When the camera mounting frame is secured to the surface, apply an epoxy security sealant around the
perimeter of the base plate where it meets the ceiling/wall. [Vicon recommends DynaPoxy™ EP1200
(US) or Arbokol 1025 (UK) or equivalent for this purpose.]

Installation with the rear cover:

Note: The installation corner must be sharp and clean; if necessary, clean any excess material from the

installation location.

1. Remove the front plate using the no. 20 Torx bit provided; retain the screws in a safe place.

4 • Installation XX211-21 Rev 1210 V15CCM-IR-2 Series High-Security Cell Cameras

2. Select the cable access hole in the rear cover to be used (6 provided) and knockout the hole. Place the

rear cover in the corner; using it as a template, mark the locations of the three (3) mounting holes and the
cable access hole. Remove it from the corner.

3. Drill suitable mounting holes and open the hole to accommodate routing the cables to the camera in the

wall/ceiling. Be sure the cable access hole is large enough to accommodate the cable clamp.

4. Route all necessary cables to the location if not already done so. Fasten the cable clamp (provided) into

the cable access knockout hole so that the clamp is on the inside of the rear cover. Route cables through
the access hole and through the rear cover; be sure to allow enough cable length to make connections to
the camera board. Mount the rear cover to the wall/ceiling through the 3 holes provided; use hardware
appropriate for the mounting surface.

5. Using the camera mounting frame as a template, insert it into the rear cover and mark the mounting holes

on the 3 tabs (2 holes per tab) that align with the holes in the rear cover; drill suitable mounting holes.
Attach the camera mounting frame onto the wall/ceiling and secure it using appropriate hardware for the
mounting surface. The use of No. 8 (or 4 mm metric) mounting hardware is recommended. Use hollow­wall anchors or, if the housing is being mounted on a sheet metal surface, use rivet nuts.

6. Make cable connections to the camera board. See instructions below. Adjust the cable length as

necessary and secure the cable clamp.

Caution: Installation of the rear cover is required for Canadian UL compliance.

7. When the camera mounting frame assembly is secured to the surface, apply an epoxy security sealant

around the perimeter of the base plate assembly where it meets the ceiling/wall. [Vicon recommends
DynaPoxy™ EP1200 (US) or Arbokol 1025 (UK) or equivalent for this purpose.]

Cable Connections

All cabling is done to the boards located on the back of the front plate.

Note: Vicon systems and components, like most electronic equipment, require a clean, stable power source.

Voltage irregularities such as surges, drops, and interruptions can affect the operation of your
equipment and, in severe cases, damage certain components.

Analog Cable Connections

1. Connect the power cable to the 2-postion terminal block TB1. The camera accepts 24 VAC and polarity is

not relevant.

2. Connect the coaxial cable for video output to the BNC connector (SK4).

3. To adjust the intensity of the LED illuminators, use RV1. Intensity can be adjusted over a range of

approximately 10:1 and is at maximum when RV1 is turned fully clockwise. The factory setting is for
maximum intensity.

IP Cable Connections

1. Use the RJ-45 connector if powering the camera using PoE. If using 24 VAC, connect the power cable to

the 2-postion terminal block.

2. Video and data are transmitted via the RJ-45 connector.

3. To adjust the intensity of the LED illuminators, use RV1. Intensity can be adjusted over a range of

approximately 10:1 and is at maximum when RV1 is turned fully clockwise. The factory setting is for
maximum intensity.

Final Installation

When all connections are made, secure the front plate to the base plate using the security screws previously
removed using no. 20 Torx bit.

Camera/Lens Positioning and Adjustments

The camera is on an adjustable mount so that it can be tilted slightly up and down to give a precise view. The
wide angle 2.5 mm lens enables the camera to view the area with no “blind spots.” Other camera/lens
adjustments are done through the OSD menu. The front plate includes a secure access plate that covers two
connectors, an RJ-45 and a BNC. The RJ-45 connector is used to connect a V15CC-PK hand-help keypad;
the BNC is connected to a monitor to view the programming menus.

4. Remove the two (2) screws securing the access plate with the no. 10 Torx bit.

5. Connect the keypad to the RJ-45 connector. Connect a monitor to the BNC and apply power to it.

6. On the keypad, press the SET key. The menu options display. Follow the menu system as described as
follows. Use the Up, Down, Right, Left keys to navigate the menus.
