Installation manual

The outdoor camera has the same features except it
also includes an audio signal (carried over the
Category 5 or 5e cable) and a pan adjustment (the
whole case is adjustable).
6.8.1. Video Sequencer
Leviton’s Video Sequencer allows the user to monitor
up to four Decora Cameras (both indoor and outdoor)
simultaneously in any combination.
The Video Sequencer:
•Provides images from each camera by automatically
switching among them
• Allows for 1-30 second variable time setting
between cameras
• Has a manual step feature that allows for individual
camera monitoring
• Has four composite RCA audio/video inputs and a
set of two RCA outputs for interfacing to a monitor
and modulator, or up to two modulators (e.g., one
going to a VCR)
The Video Sequencer requires a 12 Vdc power supply
or the DC Distribution Module.
6.8.2. Media Center Modulator
Another component in Leviton’s home security monitor-
ing group is the Media Center Modulator, which in con-
junction with the Video Sequencer, converts the com-
posite signal from a Decora Camera to a selected TV
channel through the use of a programmable, pushbut-
ton interface. As previously noted, this signal can be
broadcast over the whole-house coaxial network to
multiple television sets using a dedicated channel.
When used in conjunction with CATV, a notch filter will
be needed for the channel range that includes the
modulated channel, e.g., 75-80 range for Channel 78.
The Media Center Modulator features:
• RCA video and stereo audio inputs (loop through
feature only)
• F-connector output (channels 14-94 UHF and 100-
125 CATV)
• Mono audio broadcast
This component requires a 12 Vdc power supply or the
DC Distribution Module.
6.8.3. RF Notch Filter
Although the Media Center Modulator allows output on
CATV channels 14-94 and 100-125, Leviton recom-
mends using a channel range well beyond that served
by your local CATV provider. If a clear series of chan-
nels is not available, use a channel in the range 75-80
and add the Notch Filter. This filter is used whenever
the modulator is used with other Structured Media
Video Distribution Modules (such as the 3X8 Bi-
Directional Video Module). It is unlikely that you would
not be using one of these modules with the modulator
so an RF Notch Filter should be figured into your esti-
mate and materials list.
6.9 What You Need to Know
• Structured Media Centers (SMCs) are the single dis-
tribution points for low-voltage wiring systems. They
vary in size, allowing for simple to more complex
installations.
• Pre-Configured Cabling Panels offer the most
requested distribution modules and act as simplified,
basic system building blocks.
• You can infinitely customize your system using indi-
vidual distribution modules.
• Clear audio/video transmission requires more vigilant
selection of components given that these are more
subjective media for most people. Your cable and
hardware selections must match up with the system
requirements and your customer’s expectations.
• Home monitoring camera installation will be based in
part by the location of your SMC.
