To install a single TV set for direct monitoring follow
the Indoor & Outdoor Camera Diagrams for direct
monitoring:
• Plug the F-connector terminated end of the RG-6
quad shield into any accessible auxiliary video input
on the back of the set (usually designated VIDEO IN
1, 2 or AUX IN 1, 2)
• Run the coaxial cables from the cameras to the TV
set by passing them through the SMC first; this will
comply with the easy-access star wiring topology
and access the DC power supply
• Use a female-female coupler in the SMC to couple
the coaxial cable from the camera location to the
coaxial cable leading to the TV set where the cam-
era’s video will be displayed.
• Make sure you leave enough service loop on each
cable for other future connections in the SMC
9.9.8 Network Video Monitoring
Instead of limiting surveillance viewing to a single TV
set, network video monitoring allows access on multi-
ple TV sets via a dedicated “security channel. This
arrangement follows the Indoor & Outdoor Camera
Connection Diagrams for network Monitoring and re-
quires four components in this order:
1. Video Sequencer (Leviton 48213-CVS): The se-
quencer takes the input from both the Decora Cam
and the Outdoor Camera (it can handle up to 4 cam-
eras to cover a complete perimeter) and combines it
into a single output signal. The sequencer switches
between the different cameras every 2 to 30 sec-
onds depending on the setting of the “TIME AD-
JUST” control knob on the front of the sequencer.
2. SMC Video Modulator (Leviton 48213-VMA): The
modulator converts the combined cameras output
signal (baseband) from the Video Sequencer into a
cable channel signal (broadband) with a channel
number, usually between 75-80 (our notch filter
works in this channel range).
3. 3X8 Bi-Directional Video Amplifier: When the Video
Modulator is connected to the amplifier’s AUX
input, the “security channel” from the modulator is
fed to every TV in the home. If, for example, the
modulator is set for channel 75, anyone changing
the channel on any TV to channel 75 can watch
what’s on each video camera as the Video
Sequencer switches them.
4. RF Notch Filter: This component essentially “cleans
out” the cable TV channel range between 75-80 so
that the assigned “security channel” is kept free of
interference; it also prevents the modulator signal
from reaching into the CATV provider network. The
Notch Filter is inserted into the cable TV coaxial feed
just before the Cable In (CI) input on the 3x8 Bi-
Directional Video Module so that the cable TV signal
inside the amplifier is already filtered before the “se-
curity channel” is added to the cable mix.
Installing the Networked Video Monitoring Package
Your networked video monitoring package starts at the
SMC with the 3X8 Bi-Directional Video Module that was
referred to in the previous section. Be sure that it’s in-
stalled properly and operating correctly before you
begin installing the other components.
Install the remaining components in this order:
1. Install the RF Notch Filter in-line between the incom-
ing cable television coaxial line and the 3x8 Bi-
Directional Video Module’s Cable Input (CI). Note:
Once the Notch Filter is installed, channels 75-80
are reserved for Security Video cameras. Check with
the local cable TV system to determine if any pro-
gramming is on those channels.
2. Install the Video Sequencer in the SMC. Remember
to plug-in DC power by connecting to the DC Power
Supply Module or using the unit’s supplied DC
power supply. Connect the F-connector terminated
coaxial cables from each camera to the Video
Sequencer’s video outputs using the “f” to RCA
adapters. Connect the audio output from the
Outdoor Cameras to the Video Sequencer’s input.
3. Run a suitable “patchcord” length of terminated RG-
6 quad shield from the 3x8 Bi-Directional Video
Module’s AUX IN 1 or 2 jack which will connect to the
RF OUTPUT of the Leviton’s Video Modulator
4. Prepare the Video Modulator: Before installing, you
should assign the channel that the Modulator will
use to convert the Sequencer camera signal to a
coaxial-compatible signal.
5. Install the SMC Video Modulator in the SMC using the
supplied bracket. Connect the Video Sequencer’s
VIDEO OUTPUT jack to the VIDEO IN jack of the
Video Modulator using a suitable length of video
cable (RCA to RCA). Connect the Modulator’s sup-
plied audio cable to the Sequencer’s audio output
and plug it into the Modulator. Connect the RG-6
quad shield “patchcord” discussed in step 3 coming
from the 3x8 Bi-Directional Video Module’s AUX IN 1
or 2 jack to the Video Sequencer’s output. Connect
the Video Modulator’s power input jack to the DC
Power Supply Module or it’s supplied AC/DC Power
Supply.
