5. Installation
5.1. Mounting the camera

IMPORTANT!
The camera must be disconnected from the power supply during installation.
Use the accompanying drilling template for drilling the mounting holes for the installation adapter. An opening is provided on the installation adapter for cabling at the side. A cable gland must be used (M25x1.5) for cabling at the side. Use screw anchors and screws that are appropriate to the surface to fix the installation adapter in place.
Now remove the camera dome from the camera module. Use the hexagon wrench provided to do this.

To simplify installation, a retaining rope with eye is provided in the installation adapter to allow the camera module to be suspended.
Now guide the connecting cable through the installation adapter and either into the ceiling or through the side opening.
The connection to the installation cable can be made inside the installation adapter if required.

When doing so, ensure that the guide rail and guide notch of the installation adapter and camera module fit correctly. It is only then that the camera module is in the correct position.

Now retighten the fixing screws of the camera module.
After orienting the camera module, attach the camera cap and camera dome.

Now fix the camera dome in place.
5.2. Orientation of the camera
| The camera module can be oriented in three axes. | |
![]() | 1: Tilt 70°2: Rotation 340°3: Pivot 320° |

The IR range is strongly dependent on the environmental conditions. If the area in the camera's field of view reflects poorly or if there are no objects within the max. illumination range, the brightness of the video image at night may be too low. This will result in poor usability of the video image.
In addition, when installing the camera it must be ensured that no objects are located in close proximity to the camera's field of view (e.g. roof gutter or wall). These objects can reflect back the IR light, resulting in circular fading on the video image in the opposite direction to the object.
5.3. Power supply
| IMPORTANT!Before starting installation, ensure that the power supply voltage and the rated voltage of the camera are identical. |
The cameras require a 12 V DC or 24 V AC power supply. The polarity of the DC voltage supply does not need to be observed!
5.4. Connecting the video cable
In order to transmit the HD-TVI video signal from the camera to a recorder, an RG59 type coaxial cable with BNC connector (male) must be connected to the connection labelled 'TVI'. The cable length to the next device must not exceed 500 m (RG59).
![]() | To ensure optimum quality of the HD-TVI signal transmission, it is important that the cable is neither kinked nor crushed at any point, and that its radius is adequate (min. bending radius 6 cm).Damage to the cable or porosity as a result of ageing can have a negative impact on the quality of the signal or image (e.g. shadowing around the edges). |
5.5. Installation on the wall mount
- First drill the four holes in the wall to attach the wall mount to the wall.
- Use appropriate screw anchors and screws to attach the wall mount to the wall.
- Screw the round adapter plate on to the wall mount. Secure the adapter using a side fixing screw.
- Attach the installation adapter to the wall mount.
- Run all cables through the wall mount and connect them correctly to the camera module.
- You can now carry out the subsequent steps as previously described in the section on installation.

The appropriate TVAC31320 wall mount is required for the installation. This is not included in the scope of delivery of the camera.

The following installation data must be observed:
Installation depth (min.): 50 mm
Diameter of camera insert:
min. 145 mm (max. 152 mm)
Diameter for fixings: 10 mm
- First, create an opening of min. 145 mm to max. 152 mm at the desired location in the suspended ceiling.
- Glue the drilling template to the opening in the ceiling in a central position.
- Drill three holes with a diameter of approx. 10 mm in the places marked.
- Screw the three long metric screws supplied through the three outer fixing holes in the ceiling recessing ring.
- Then screw the three spreading clamps on to the three metric screws from the back.
- Insert the ceiling recessing ring into the feed-through and the three spreading clamps into the fixing holes and push the spreading clamps through the fixing holes. The spreading clamps should now hold the ceiling recessing ring to the ceiling.
- Next fasten the three fixing screws until the ceiling recessing ring is finally level and firmly attached to the ceiling.
- The camera module can then be installed and oriented in the same way as during the installation in the installation adapter, and the dome can be placed on top.


The appropriate TVAC31360 recessing ring is required for the installation. This is not included in the scope of delivery of the camera.
The required installation depth is min. 5 cm.
