Camera Mounting Platform
If you plan to install this camera enclosure into a tropical, sea coastal, or an environment
where salt water or corrosive industrial waste water/moist are present, please seal each
stainless steel screws and ttings with a silicon grease compounds. This will help prevent
electrolysis to occur and extend the life span of the camera and housing.
IMPORTANT:
1. Disconnect devices: A readily accessible disconnect device in the building installation wiring
should be incorporated.
2. Electrical Connection: Only a qualied electrician is allowed to make electrical connections.
WARNING:
• Please avoid eye exposure or apply appropriate protection, such as wearing a pair of Infrared
protection glasses, when working with the product. Always use camera live view to oberve IR
lighting effects.

Install the wall-mount bracket to a preferred location at your installation site. Drill
1.
mounting holes and a cable routing hole (if preferred) on a wall. Install the bracket.
Prepare and route the wiring, Ethernet and 24V power source.
Flip the housing over and place it on a clean, stable surface. Secure the IR illuminator
2.
to the bottom of the housing using the included wrench and 2 hex screws.

Prepare power wires, a ground wire, and a CAT5e Ethernet cable. Pass them through
4.
the M16 waterproof connectors under the housing.
Ethernet cable Ø4 ~ 6.5mm
Power wires & DI/DO wires,
a combo cable from IR illuminator
(if applied)
You may need to remove the RJ45 connector, and use a crimping tool to connect the
Ethernet wires to an RJ45 connector inside the enclosure. Use an Ethernet cable of the
width of 4 ~ 6.5mm.

You can turn the IR illuminator so that its at side is parallel with the housing, and that
6.
you can turn the assembly over and work on the inside of the housing. Put a foam pad
below before you work on the wiring to avoid scratching the surface.
Assemble the camera components, e.g., the CS ring and lens module. Secure the
7.
mounting plate to the bottom of the camera (the label side) using the included screw.
English
There is a plastic mount pad in the package. You do not need the mounting pad
using the VIVOTEK camera.

In the night mode, check if the input signals are correctly detected. You may simulate
the night mode by blocking the IR unit's light sensor. Change the triggering parameters if
necessary. Note that the IR unit does not immediately turns on or off. There is a 30-second
buffer time.
NOTE
: When doing the initial testing in lab or ofce, the light sensor of the IR unit may
not react quickly as in the outdoor environment. The lighting level in your ofce may not
be brigtht enough to trigger the light sensor. You can use a ash light to shine on the light
sensor for 30 seconds. Check the live view to see if the IR light is disabled.
The light sensor does not react quickly for that in
realworld applications, vehicle lights in tunnels can
ash and pass by quickly.

To turn on the IR light, blind the IR light sensor to
check (camera enters the night mode and IR should
be turned on within 30 seconds.)

If you need to cascade multiple IR units via the RS485 bus, please contact CaMate (http://
www.lidlight.com/) for a mobile app through which you can change device ID, baud rate,
and so on.
With a motorized IR unit, the IR light zoom control buttons will be available on the home
page of the camera web console. Click to change the IR lights angles. When IR lights
zoom in, the light beams become narrower, the farther the lights can reach. When zoomed
out, the wider the coverage, yet the range decreases.

IR Zoom functions
Use the zoom buttons to control the coverage of your IR lighting.
You can also create custom buttons on a web console, such as IR brightness (Lux),
threshold, dimming, etc. The camera default ID is 0. Make sure it is different from that of
the IR unit.
