Dear customer, the following safety and hazard information is intended not only to protect your health, but also to protect the appliance. Please read the following points carefully:

• There are no serviceable parts inside the product. Disassembly also invalidates the approval (CE) and the guarantee/warranty.
• The product can be damaged by falling from even a small height.
• Mount the product in such a way that direct sunlight cannot fall on the device's image sensor. Observe the installation instructions in the corresponding chapter of these operating instructions.
• The device is designed for indoor and outdoor use (IP67).

Avoid the following adverse ambient conditions during operation:

• Moisture or excessive humidity
  • Extreme cold or heat
• Direct sunlight
• Dust or flammable gases, vapours or solvents
  • strong vibrations
  • strong magnetic fields, such as in the vicinity of machines or loudspeakers.
• The camera must not be installed on unstable surfaces.

General safety instructions:

• Do not leave the packaging material lying around carelessly! Plastic film/bags, polystyrene pieces etc. could become dangerous toys for children.
• For safety reasons, the video surveillance camera must not be given to children due to small parts that can be swallowed.
• Please do not insert any objects through the openings into the inside of the appliance
• Only use the additional devices/accessories specified by the manufacturer. Do not connect any incompatible products.
• Please observe the safety instructions and operating instructions for the other connected devices.
• Check the appliance for damage before commissioning; if this is the case, please do not operate the appliance!
• Observe the limits of the operating voltage specified in the technical data. Higher voltages can destroy the device and jeopardise your safety (electric shock).

Safety instructions

1. Power supply: Observe the information on the rating plate for the supply voltage and power consumption.

2. Overload

Avoid overloading mains sockets, extension cables and adapters, as this can lead to fire or electric shock.

3. Cleaning

Only clean the appliance with a damp cloth without using harsh cleaning agents.

The appliance must be disconnected from the mains.

Warnings

All safety and operating instructions must be observed before initial start-up!

1. Observe the following instructions to prevent damage to the mains cable and mains plug:

2. When disconnecting the appliance from the mains, do not pull on the mains cable, but grasp the plug.

3. Ensure that the mains cable is as far away as possible from heating appliances to prevent the plastic sheathing from melting.

4. Follow these instructions. Failure to do so may result in an electric shock:

5. Never open the housing or the power supply unit.

6. Do not insert any metal or flammable objects inside the appliance.

7. To avoid damage caused by overvoltage (e.g. thunderstorms), please use overvoltage protection.

8. Please disconnect defective appliances from the power supply immediately and inform your specialist dealer.

When installing in an existing video surveillance system, make sure that all devices are disconnected from the mains and low-voltage circuits.

If in doubt, do not carry out the assembly, installation and wiring yourself, but leave this to a specialist. Improper and unprofessional work on the power grid or domestic installations not only poses a risk to yourself, but also to other people.Wire the installations so that the mains and low-voltage circuits always run separately and are not connected to each other at any point or cannot be connected due to a fault.

Unpacking

Handle the appliance with the utmost care when unpacking it.

If the original packaging is damaged, check the appliance first. If the appliance is damaged, send it back with the packaging and inform the delivery service.

5. Assembly / Installation

5.1 Mounting the camera

ATTENTION!

The camera must be disconnected from the mains voltage during installation.

Loosen the fixing screw (A) on the camera base plate and remove the base plate by turning it slightly. If the arrow marked on the base plate points exactly to the fixing screw, the base plate can be removed.

Use the enclosed drilling template to drill the fixing holes.

If the cables are to be laid laterally, a channel is provided on the underside of the base plate. Now fix the base plate in place.

Then fix the camera head by attaching the camera cap (arrow points to the fixing screw). Then turn the camera cap with the camera head, these are then connected to the base plate.

Tighten the fixing screw for the camera cap only slightly to carry out the subsequent camera alignment.

5.2 Alignment of the camera

If necessary, loosen the fixing screw on the camera base plate. The camera centre section can now be aligned in 3 axes. Then tighten the fixing screw again.

0°~360° B A 0°~75° C 0°~360°

(A) Tilt 75°

(B) Swivelling 360°

(C) Rotation 360°

The effective IR / white light range depends on the location. Light-absorbing surfaces or no light-reflecting objects in the field of vision reduce the IR / white light range or cause the video image to be too dark. Furthermore, reflective objects in the direct vicinity of the camera (gutter, wall) can result in disturbing reflections of the IR / white light in the image.

Please make sure that the IR / white light LEDs of the TVCC52512 and TVCC55512 models are not covered by the camera cap, as this will result in reflections.

5.3. Power supply

	ATTENTION!Before starting the installation, make sure that the supply voltage and the rated voltage of the camera match.
		12 VDC, barrel connector, 5.5x2.1mm

The cameras require a 12 VDC power supply. The polarity of the DC voltage supply must be observed!

5.4 Attaching the video cable

To transmit the HD-TVI video signal from the camera to a recorder, a coaxial cable of type RG59 with BNC connector (male, male) must be connected to the connection labelled "TVI". The cable length to the next device must not exceed 500 metres.

To ensure optimum HD-TVI signal transmission quality, it is essential that the cable is not kinked, crushed or laid at too small a radius (minimum bending radius 6 cm). If the cable is damaged or has become porous due to the ageing process, this can also affect the signal or image quality (e.g. shadows around edges).

6. On-screen menu

6.1. Opening the on-screen menu (OSD)

The on-screen display (OSD) of this camera can only be opened via the ABUS Analogue HD Recorder (TVVR33*** or HDCC900**). Please refer to the operating instructions for the ABUS recorder.

6.2. Description of the on-screen menu (OSD)

Press the OSD menu control button to open the OSD on-screen menu (local interface (HDMI) of the recorder / camera / PTZ menu / menu) ("Shutter+" for Enter). Detailed settings can be made via this on-screen menu.
