Chapter 2 — Installation and Configuration
2.1 PACKAGE CONTENTS
The package contains the following.
VP-960H (Dome Camera) ………………………1
Bubble Ring ………………………1(Optional)
Instruction Manual (This Document) ………………………1
Assembly Screws for Attaching VP-960H ………………………3
Plastic Anchor ………………………3
10Pin Connector ………………………1
12Pin Connector ………………………2
Cable Requirements
For RS485 operation, the VP-960H dome requires video, power, alarm and data cables.
The video cable carries the video signal to the remote viewing site. If sending video via coaxial
cable, a 75Ω pure copper coaxial cable is recommended for distances up to 250m.
The VP-960H can be powered by either 24vAC.
The RS485 control cable carries commands from the keyboard/controlling device to the dome. An
RS485 compatible shielded, two-conductor, twisted-pair cable is required (Beldon 8723).
Recommended cable size 24 gauge (0.56 mm).
Alarms: Alarm cable is suitable or Cat 5 cable for distances up to 380m.
For FSK control (Coaxial), the data cable is not required. Pure copper coaxial cable and crimp-on BNC
connectors are recommended. Please do not use copper-coated steel cable and screw-on BNC
connectors.
The dome camera can be used in surface mounting applications and the mounting surface should be
capable of supporting loads up to 10lb (4.5kg).

2.2 DOME INSTALLATION TYPES
2.2.1 Direct ceiling mounting
The dome camera’s base should be attached to a structural object, such as hard wood,
wall stud or ceiling rafter that supports the weight of the dome camera.
2.2.2 External pendant mount
The dome camera can be mounted in an External housing which includes a heater and blower, the
models available are: VDM-EXTHSG/C (Clear bubble), VDM-EXTHSG/S (Smoked bubble)
2.2.3 In-ceiling mount
There are 2 options for in-ceiling mounting either with or without bubbles:
1. With out the bubble use the In Ceiling mount: VDM-ICM/B ( Black trim ring) or VDM-ICM/C (Cream trim
ring) :

2.3 BASIC CONFIGURATION OF VP-960H DOME CAMERA SYSTEM
The dome camera must be installed by qualified service personnel in accordance with all local electrical
and building regulations.
Note: FGND not used

Layout of Switches
2.3.1 Setting Dome Camera Termination
The device which is connected at end of line, whether it be a dome camera or keyboard controller, must
have the cable for communication terminated by setting the appropriate DIP switch. Without proper
termination, there is potential for control signal errors. Total length of the cable for communication should
not exceed 4000ft (1.2km).

2.3.2 RS485 Biasing
In some cases if the RS485 signal cable is either very short or to long, this may cause corruption of the
data signal. If this occurs use the RS485 Biasing switch, these are shown in the above diagram as SW2 –
Fail safe Network:
2.4 SETTING DOME CAMERA ADDRESS (ID)
When the COMMUNICATION MODE is set to S/W
Dome camera address (ID) and Protocol can be selected within the dome menu.
To enter the menu of the VP-960H (from the VKBD4 Keyboard), press and hold the Camera Key, while
holding the camera key down, press and release the Mode key, the following On-screen menu utility will
appear:
Using the joystick move down to ” DOME COMMUNICATION” and then move the joystick to the right to
select this option, the following screen will appear:

See Chapter 3 — Program and Operation for DOME COMMUNICATION.
If you want to set the address to greater than 999, you should contact the service provider.
NOTE: COMMUNICATION MODE is set to S/W, the Hardware (H/W) setting is ignored.
COMMUNICATION MODE set to H/W
Dome camera address (ID) and Protocol are set using the DIP switches on the dome base.
When using RS485 telemetry, each dome camera must have a unique address (ID). When installing
multiple dome cameras using a DVR, it is suggested that the dome camera address match the DVR port
number.
If you want to set the address more than 999, you should contact the service provider.
Example: Port 1 = Dome 1, Port 2 = Dome 2 … Port 16 = Dome 16. If more than 16 dome cameras are
installed using two or more DVRs, ID of the dome camera should be ID of DVR x No. of camera IN. (e.g.
DVR ID= n, Camera IN= m then ID of Dome =16x
(n-1)+m )
Refer to the following diagrams for setting the dome camera address (ID) and protocol selection.
