Preparing Cameras These steps are provided for information only. For specific steps, use the instructions included with the cameras. 1. Mark the locations where the cameras will be mounted. Use the camera base to mark where holes will be drilled. 2. Drill holes for the camera base. Install the camera base. 3. Route the 100' video and power cables from the camera locations to the location where the multiplexer will be installed. 4. Remove the protective cover from the front of each camera. Install the lens. 5. Decide if the camera base will be installed as a wall mount or ceiling mount. Attach the base to the camera. Refer to the instructions included with the camera. 6. Connect the video cable to the Video port on the camera. IMPORTANT! Switches on the back of the camera have been preset for proper performance. 7. Connect the two-conductor power cable to the connector labeled 24VAC on back of camera. 8. Connect other end of the power cable to the power transformer terminals labeled AC. See Figure 2. Figure 2. Power Transformer. Connecting Cables to the Multiplexer These steps are provided for information only. For specific steps, use the information included with the Multiplexer. 1. Orient the multiplexer so that its rear panel is facing you. 2. Connect the video cables from the cameras to the ports labeled Cam 1 - Cam 4 In. 3. Connect one end of the monitor cable to the Multiplexer port labeled Main Mon. Connect the other end of the cable to the monitor port labeled Video In. 4. Connect the VCR cables. VCR In on the Multiplexer connects to Video Out on the VCR. VCR Out on the Multiplexer connects to Video In on the VCR. 5. Connect all power cables to electrical outlets. Power on each piece of equipment. You should see video from the cameras on the monitor. Refer to the information included with the equipment for additional setup information. Continue with Adjusting the Lenses. 9. Apply power to the cameras. Continue with Connecting Cables to the Multiplexer. 3 OF 6
Adjusting the Lenses Once all cables are connected to the video surveillance system, you may need to adjust the lenses on the cameras. Because the cameras are installed away from the monitor, you will need a second person to help with this job: one person to watch the monitor, and one person to adjust the lens. The variable focus lens provides three types of adjustments: Focus: Near (N) to Infinity ( ) Focal Length: Telephoto (T) to Wide Angle (W) Iris: Close to Open The following illustration identifies the locations of the adjustment rings on the lens. Figure 3. Lens adjustments. Focus Iris To adjust the lens settings: 1. Adjust the Focal Length. Turn the ring towards W (wide angle) to use a longer focal length. Turn the ring towards T (telephoto) to use a shorter focal length. 2. Adjust the Focus. Turn the ring towards N (near) to adjust the focus to close objects. Turn the ring towards (infinity) to adjust the focus to distant objects. 3. If the image seems too dark or too bright, adjust the Iris. Turn the ring towards Close to make the image appear dimmer (darker). Focal Length Turn the ring towards Open to make the image appear brighter (lighter). Troubleshooting Your video surveillance system includes a oneyear factory mail-in repair limited warranty. If you experience problems with your equipment, use these procedures to help identify the problem. If these procedures do not work, contact customer support at 1-800-241-6678. Note: The instructions included with the equipment may include additional troubleshooting steps. If you do not find the answer to your problem here, review the other instructions before contacting customer support. Video Does Not Appear on Monitor 1. Make sure that the monitor is plugged in and powered on. 2. Make sure that the monitor cable is connected to the Main Mon port on the Multiplexer and Video In port on the monitor. 3. Make sure that video cables from the cameras are securely connected to the Camera In ports on the Multiplexer and Video ports on the cameras. Refer to Figure 1 for wiring information. 4. Make sure that power has been applied to the cameras. A power light is located on the back of the camera. 5. If video appears from some cameras but not others, try switching cable connections. Unplug a camera that is working and plug in one that it is not working into the working Camera In port. If the camera works, there may be a problem with the original Camera In port. Try connecting a working camera into the suspected bad port. If this camera does not work, contact customer support for instructions. If the camera does not work, check the cable for damage. If the cable appears undamaged, verify that the power is connected and applied to the camera. If power is OK, you may have a bad camera. Contact customer 4 OF 6
