PACKAGE CONTENTS

DESIGNING THE SYSTEM

Please check and familiarise yourself with the contents

• CCD camera with audio

• Fixing kit containing 2 plastic wall plugs, 2
screws and a cable tie.

1. The first step is to design your camera system by
deciding what equipment is required for the installation.
(e.g. Time Lap se video recorder, video switcher,
monitor, etc.)

2. The camera requires a 12V do regulated power supply
providing a minimum of 100mA for the 1861 B&W
camera, or 200mA for the 1869 Colour camera.

3. Once you know what equipment you are using you will
need to purchase the right type of connectors for the
equipment to be used. Usually phono plugs or BNC
plugs will be used.

4. Choose a suitable cable for the installation. 4core alarm
cable is suitable for connecting the camera up to 100
metres away from your CCTV equipment. If you intend
to run the camera cable along side other cables, such as
in a conduit, we advise you to use a screened cable to
prevent interference on the sound and camera picture.

We recommend that you temporarily connect your camera
to your TV before completing the installation to help deter­mine the best position for the camera.

1. Unscrew the base of the camera from the lid using the
four screws and then make a small hole in the grommet
just large enough to push the camera cables) through.

2. Connect the cables to the camera using the table below
to make a note of the colours used and the function of

each wire.

the other end of the cable into the CCTV
equipment.

4. Check all connection thoroughly .

5. Switch the power on to all the equipment.

6. Select the camera input on the device that the
camera is connected to. You should now see and
hear the camera’s output.

7. You can now check the camera’s view in different
positions enabling you to choose the best position
for your property.

SITING THE CAMERA

The camera is suitable for
indoor or outdoor use.
Please bear in mind the
following points when
choosing a mounting
position.

• The camera must be positioned so that it will not

point directly into the sun (sunrise and sunset)
or any bright light, as this may cause damage to the

camera.

• The best viewing angle is achieved at greater
heights with the camera pointing down.

• Avoid viewing areas where half the area is in bright
sunlight and the offer half is dark, such as in the
shadow of a building. All types of cameras have
difficulty in ‘seeing’ with such a large lux level

variation.

• Bear in mind not to position the camera too far away

from door entrances as you may not be able to hear
any speech or sound.

• The camera will work in low light conditions, but

ensure a light is fitted near to the camera for
night-time operation.

1. Once the camera position is chosen, switch the
power off.

2. Remove the wires from the camera.

3. Run the camera cable from the CCTV
equipment to the desired mounting position.

4. Re-connect the wires to the camera as shown
in the table on the previous page.

5. Place the cable tie provided around the outer insula­tion of the cable to prevent the cable from being
pulled through the grommet.

6. Screw the lid back onto the camera using the
four screws.

7. Screw the camera to the chosen surface using
the plastic wall plugs and screws provided.

8. Re-apply power and select the camera input. Any
slight adjustments to the viewing angle of the camera
can now be made by panning and tilting the camera.
Once this is complete, the camera can be locked into
position by tightening the screw above the camera
lens. Do not over-tighten as this may stop you from
loosening the screw to make any slight adjustments in
the future.
