rocker switch. The volume control unit mounts inside a
standard wall box or low-voltage mud ring and con-
nects to the Interface Module inside the Structured
Media Center with Category 5 or 5e cable.
The Chopin Volume Control features:
•A single RJ-45 connection to an Interface Module
instead of direct speaker/amplifier connections
required at the controller
•Two RJ-45 jacks on each digital volume control so
that the volume controls can be interconnected and
operate like a three-way light switch at two locations
in a long hallway, large room, or patio
• Start-up mute feature to avoid shocking people with
excessive audio levels when control is activated
•Microprocessor-controlled relays in the Interface
Module for silent switching
•Digital, transformer-free design uses aerospace-
quality cermatile resistors for proper heat dissipation
and superior performance
•Up to three volume controls can be connected to the
interface module for controlling any one zone

remote location.

Take Note: Leviton’s outdoor speakers include 100 watt
and a 60 watt models built to resemble natural rocks and
thus blend in with the surrounding environment. These
speakers, which come with Direct Bury 16/2 speaker wire,
are built to withstand environmental extremes including heat
and humidity. A weatherproof Multi-Purpose Surface Mount
speaker is also available.
6.8 Home Video Security
Monitoring with Indoor and
Outdoor Camera Application
Note: This application requires dedicated pre-wiring.
Once seen only in commercial settings, security cam-
eras are finding their way into private homes as well.
Leviton’s indoor Decora® Camera provides high-
quality color video output, and the outdoor camera
allows outside monitoring. The camera’s output con-
nection allows you to use RG-6 quad shield for the
video signal and Category 5 or 5e for power.
The Decora® Camera and outdoor camera can be
used in two ways:
1. They can be plugged directly into an auxiliary video
input on a television or VCR (usually marked “Video
1 or Video 2”)
2. They can be used with a distribution component
such as a modulator or video sequencer (explained
in Chapter 9)
Installer’s Tip: The cameras should be located within
one hundred cable feet of the SMC.
The Decora® Camera features:
• Color CMOS imaging
• Connection for power and ground
• RCA jack and RCA-to F-connector adapter for con-
necting video to coaxial cable
• Adjustable horizontal pan for full room coverage
• LED power indicator
