Frequently Asked Questions - Pinnacle DPD34D Digimerge

How do I install the Digimerge Pinnacle DPD34D camera?
The camera can be mounted directly to a surface, using the camera base, or via a junction box. For full instructions, refer to the 'Installation' section of the manual. You will need to mount the base, run cables, attach the camera module, and adjust the lens. Use the included mounting templates for hole drilling.
What power supply do I need for this camera?
The camera operates on DC 12V or AC 24V (power consumption 2.5W max). Use a UL listed, CLASS 2 power transformer. Ensure voltage is within ±10% of the specified level.
How do I adjust the lens and focus?
After installing, remove the camera cover to access the lens. Use a flathead screwdriver to loosen the thumb screw, then adjust the viewing angle. For zoom and focus, turn the lens adjustment levers counterclockwise to unlock, adjust as needed, then tighten to secure.
How do I access the OSD menu?
The OSD menu is controlled using the joystick on the camera. Press down on the joystick to enter the menu. Use up/down to navigate, left/right to change values, and press down to confirm. After adjusting, highlight 'SAVE ALL' to save settings.
Can I use this camera outdoors?
The indoor model (DPD34D) is not weatherproof. For outdoor use, choose the vandal dome model DPV34D which is rated IP66 weatherproof. Ensure proper seal alignment during installation.
How do I clean the camera?
Turn off and unplug the camera. Use a slightly damp soft cloth with a mild household detergent. Never use strong solvents like thinner or benzine, as they may damage the finish.
What should I do if there is no image on the screen?
Check power cable connections and voltage. Verify the video cable is properly connected to the camera's BNC output and the monitor/DVR. Also ensure the lens cap is removed.
How do I reset the camera to factory defaults?
Go to the OSD menu via the joystick, navigate to OTHERS > CAMERA RESET, and confirm. This will reset all settings to manufacturer defaults.
What is the maximum cable length for power?
Voltage drop depends on wire gauge. For example, with AWG #18 wire, voltage drop is 0.006 V/m. Use thicker wire for longer runs to maintain voltage within ±10% of 12V DC or 24V AC.
Does the camera support motion detection?
Yes, the camera has built-in motion detection with up to 4 programmable areas. Configure it via the OSD menu under MOTION DET. Sensitivity and detection blocks can be adjusted.

Settings are retained after camera power loss.

Follow the steps below if you are experiencing trouble with your camera. Contact Digimerge Technical Support if the issue persists.

• Nothing appears on the screen.

☐ Check that the power cable is connected properly and that the voltage is correct.
☐ Check that you have properly connected VIDEO cable to the camera VIDEO output jack and to the monitor/DVR.

• The image on the screen is unclear.

☐ Is the lens or dome cover stained with dirt? Clean lens or dome cover with soft, clean cloth.

☐ Re-position the camera if necessary.
☐ Adjust the Zoom and Focus screws as needed.

• The image on the screen is dark.

☐ If you have an intermediate device, set the impedance to 75 / Hi-z .
- Adjust the monitor contrast & brightness controls.

• Image quality is poor.

☐ Return the camera OSD to factory default settings (OSD Menu>OTHERS>CAMERA RESET).
☐ Verify that the camera is receiving sufficient power.

• There is interference in the image.

☐ The camera or the cables may be close to a source of high voltage, such as a generator. Reposition the camera if necessary.

When the resistance value of copper wire is at [20^(68^)]

Copper wire size (AWG) #24(0.22mm ^2 ) #22(0.33mm ^2 ) #20(0.52mm ^2 ) #18(0.83mm ^2 )
Resistance (Ω/m) 0.078 0.050 0.030 0.018
Voltage Drop (V/m) 0.028 0.018 0.011 0.006

As shown in the table above, voltage decreases as the wire gets longer. Therefore use of an excessively long adapter output line for connection to the camera may affect the performance of the camera.

*Standard voltage for camera operation : DC12V ±10% or AC24V ±10%
*There may be some deviation in voltage drop depending on the type of wire and the manufacturer.

  • Be sure to connect power only after all the installation is complete.
    • Use the UL listed, CLASS 2 power transformer for 12v DC or 24v AC adapter.
