Check the specification of the products for the installation environment. Make sure that the wall or the ceiling is strong enough to withstand 3 times the weight of the camera. To avoid fire or shock hazard, use only UL listed power supplies. Verify that the power supply will provide the rated voltage and wattage for the camera. See the Specifications section. During installation: Camera Lens: Handle the camera carefully to prevent scratching or soiling the lens. If the lens or IR array shield becomes soiled, clean it only with approved products. See the Cleaning section. Power supply: Camera drop cable: The camera drop cable includes two connectors: Video BNC connector: For transmission of the video signal across a coax (75 Ω) extension cable to an HD-TVI compatible recorder. Power connector: When applying power, observe the power polarity. See the picture to the left for the connector polarity configuration. Mounting the camera Lens Photosensor An ALI-TS4015R camera can be mounted directly to a wall or ceiling, or with a junction box. The surface should support at least three times the weight of the camera and junction box (if used). The video/power drop cable from the camera can be routed either through surface or through a cable channel in the base.

See Specifications for requirements Tools and additional fasteners (may be required) for the camera Phillips #2 screwdriver Video and power extension cable HD-TVI or CVBS video setup monitor (optional) Power Connector Typical ceiling 1 ALI-TS4015R_CQ If the camera on a wall, ensure that the bracket UP label is positioned at the top. If the camera on a ceiling, orient the base so that the cable channel is pointing away from any source of water, dust, and other contaminates. 1. Using the drill template provided, mark the location of the screws that anchor the base to the surface. See the note above. If you are routing the drop cable through surface, also mark the position of the hole for the drop cable. 2. Drill holes for the screws that anchor the base to the surface. The hardware provided is appropriate for most surfaces. However, depending on the surface materials, more appropriate fasteners may be required. 3. If routing the drop cable through the surface, drill a 5/8 hole in the middle of the drill template. 4. Route the drop cable through the hole in the surface, or through the cable channel in the base, then attach the camera assembly to the surface using the appropriate fasteners. 5. Connect the camera drop cable to video and power extension cables as required. If using 12 Vdc power, observe the polarity embossed on the power connector. See the photo above. 6. Connect the other end of the video extension cable to an HD-TVI DVR. Drop cable connectors are not waterproof. Seal if needed. 7. Connect the other end of the power extension cable to a 12 Vdc (observe polarity - see page 1) or 24 Vac power source.

To navigate the OSD menu and select options: Move the cursor up/down to select the menu item. Move the cursor left/right to adjust the value of the selected item.

BRIGHTNESS: Brightness refers to the brightness of the image. You can set the brightness value from 1 to 10 to darken or brighten the image. The higher the brightness value, the brighter the image.

GLOBAL: GLOBAL refers to the normal exposure mode, used when adjusting for unusual lighting distribution, variations, non-standard processing, or conditions of under exposure to get an optimum image.

The level can be adjusted from 0 to 8. GAIN: Optimizes the clarity of image in poor light. GAIN level can be set to HIGH, MIDDLE, and LOW. Select OFF to disable the GAIN function.

When both very bright and very dark areas simultaneously exist in the image, DWDR balances the brightness level of the whole image to provide clear images with details.

4 To navigate the OSD menu and select options: Move the cursor up/down to select the menu item. Move the cursor left/right to adjust the value of the selected item. Click the OK key to confirm a selection. OUTPUT MODE Use the OUTPUT MODE submenu to set the RESOLUTION, FRAME RATE and format (NTSC or PAL). BRIGHTNESS: Brightness refers to the brightness of the image. You can set the brightness value from 1 to 10 to darken or brighten the image. The higher the brightness value, the brighter the image. EXPOSURE MODE: You can set EXPOSURE mode as GLOBAL or BLC. GLOBAL: GLOBAL refers to the normal exposure mode, used when adjusting for unusual lighting distribution, variations, non-standard processing, or conditions of under exposure to get an optimum image. BLC (Backlight Compensation): BLC compensates light to the object in the front to make it clear, while compensating for over-exposure of the background where the light is strong. The level can be adjusted from 0 to 8. GAIN: Optimizes the clarity of image in poor light. GAIN level can be set to HIGH, MIDDLE, and LOW. Select OFF to disable the GAIN function. Noise is amplified when GAIN is on. DWDR (Digital Wide Dynamic Range) DWDR helps the camera provide clear images even with bright or dark backlight conditions. When both very bright and very dark areas simultaneously exist in the image, DWDR balances the brightness level of the whole image to provide clear images with details. Setting DWDR to ON to improve the image quality of images with extreme bright and dark areas. Set the DWDR as OFF to disable the function. ANTI-FLICKER Set the ANTI-FLICKER as ON to prevent the image from flicker. WHITE BALANCE White balance is the white rendition function of the camera to adjust the color temperature according to the environment. It can remove unrealistic color casts in the image. You can set WB mode as either ATW or MWB. ATW: In ATW mode, white balance is adjusted automatically according to the color temperature of the scene illumination. MWB: In MWB mode, you can set the R GAIN/B GAIN value from 1 to 255 to adjust the shades of red/ blue color of the image. RESOLUTION: Resolution refers to the number of the pixels contained in an image. You can set the resolution as 5 megapixels, 4 megapixels or 1080p. The higher the value, the finer the image is. FRAME RATE: Frame rate refers to the number of image output in 1 second. When the resolution is set as 5 megapixels, you are allowed to set the frame rate as 20 fps or 12.5 fps. When the resolution is set as 4 megapixels, you are allowed to set the frame rate as 25 fps or 30 fps. NTSC/PAL: NTSC/PAL is only available in fps mode. PAL: (Phase Alternating Lines) is a color encoding system for analog television used in broadcast television systems in most countries. NTSC: (National Television System Committee) is the analog television system that is used in most of North America, parts of South America, Myanmar, South Korea, etc. FOCUS (and ZOOM) menu Move the cursor to FOCUS, and press the menu button to enter the FOCUS sub menu. Move the cursor to adjust the camera lens by the FOCUS+, FOCUS-, ZOOM+ and ZOOM-. LANGUAGE The OSD can be displayed in either English or Chinese. EXPOSURE Exposure describes the brightness-related parameters. You can adjust the image brightness by the BRIGHTNESS, EXPOSURE MODE, GAIN, DWDR and ANTI-FLICKER in different light conditions. DAY-NIGHT Color, B/W, and AUTO are selectable for DAY and NIGHT switches. COLOR: The image is colored in day mode all the time. B/W: The image is black and white all the time, and the IR LED turns on in the low-light conditions. AUTO: Automatically switch COLOR or BW (Black and White) according to actual scene brightness. You can turn on/off the INFRARED and set the value of SMART IR in this menu. INFRARED: Select this option to turn on/off the IR LED in response to the light level in the field of view. SMART IR: Use the Smart IR feature is to adjust the light to its most suitable intensity, and to prevent the image from over exposure. The SMART IR value can be adjusted from 1 to 3.
