Once connected, check the camera again using a
portable TV.
9.9.4 Outdoor Camera (Leviton 48213-ECC):
Leviton’s outdoor version of the Decora Camera is
manufactured to be weather-resistant. Its cabling and
termination procedure is similar to the Decora Camera
above, The installer should use the same procedure for
checking the location’s suitability (using a portable TV
and a temporary hook-up to check for lighting and po-
sitioning problems) as for the indoor camera.
To get the best results with the Outdoor camera:
• Do not point the camera at a direct light source, such
as a porch light or street light and never at the sun
• Mount the camera higher than 6 feet from the ground
or porch floor and high enough to prevent tampering
• The ideal location is under an eave, gutter, porch, or
an otherwise sheltered location that will protect the
camera from direct exposure to rain and sun
Follow the same instructions for connectorizing and
testing the outdoor camera as you did for the indoor
camera, but using the wiring in the Outdoor Camera
Diagram.
9.9.5 Mounting the Outdoor Camera
• Remove the 4 screws from the bottom of the camera
and carefully remove the lower plate. If the plate is
pulled or otherwise wrestled from the camera, the in-
ternal wiring can be damaged and the camera will
not function properly.
• Connect the 6-inch RCA pigtail by connecting the
signal wire to the screw terminal marked YEL (yellow)
and the ground wire to the terminal marked BLK
(black)
• Establish power by connecting the Brown pair of the
Cat 5 to the RED (+12V DC) terminal and the Green
pair to the BLACK (Ground) terminal. Strip approxi-
mately 1/4" insulation off each lead and then twist
both the striped and solid-colored wire of each pair
together to increase current capacity. Insert the
stripped, twisted-together ends of each pair into the
terminal hole and tighten the set screw to ensure
contact
• Connect the blue pair to the far right (white) screw
terminal for the audio signal
• Dress the wires through the slotted opening between
the camera and the plate
• The audio detection level is preset at the factory; to
adjust, turn the small volume control on the printed
circuit board with a screwdriver (clockwise to lower
the level, counterclockwise to raise it)
• Check your wiring and replace the bottom plate
•Drill two 4mm diameter holes spaced .34mm apart on
either side of the cable access hole
• Insert the two supplied plastic wall plugs into the
holes
• Using the 2 supplied mounting screws, mount the
camera to the outside wall
• Make sure the cables are pushed back inside the ac-
cess hole and are not caught between the camera
body and the wall
• Apply an approved foam sealer or gasket material be-
tween the camera and wall to protect against leaks
9.9.6 Powering the Cameras
Supplying power to either the indoor or outdoor cam-
era is the same for both direct monitoring and network
monitoring installations. —Power is supplied from the
SMC by the DC Power Supply Module which consists
of two components:
• The 1X6 Power Distribution Board
• The AC/DC Converter
To use the 1X6 Power Distribution Board, you’ll be con-
necting a single camera DC to the “+” (12VDC) termi-
nal and to the Ground terminal. To do this:
• See Section 9.4.4 if installing a DC Power Supply
Module
• Run the Category 5 or 5e cable from each camera to
a separate punch down termination on a Cat 5 module
in the SMC and terminate following usual procedures
• Use the special Category 5 or 5e patch cord wye
cable to provide power from the DC Distribution
Module and audio signal to the Video Sequencer
(only outdoor camera has audio)
• For the power connection insert the Brown pair of the
cable into the 12VDC terminal and the Green and
Orange pairs into the “–” or NEGATIVE (ground) ter-
minal. Tighten the set screws
• Once the DC power supply connected to the board
and is plugged in, the cameras are powered
9.9.7 Direct Video Monitoring
The simplest security surveillance is called direct
video monitoring. With this system, the cameras are
connected directly to a single TV. Your client will have
to decide the TV that will have the dedicated status. A
kitchen location, for instance, allows parents to work
while watching their children. This is a limited arrange-
ment as it only allows monitoring from one location.
Audio is not available in Direct Monitoring Mode.
