Preparations When installing the camera on a ceiling or a wall, there are 3 methods as specified below. • Using a two-gang junction box (☞ pages 18 and 19) • Installing the camera directly on the ceiling or wall SW458M (☞ page 19) • Using the supplied mount bracket SW458 (☞ pages 20 to 23) IMPORTANT: • Procure 4 screws (M4) to secure the camera attachment (accessory) or the mount bracket (accessory) SW458 to a ceiling or a wall according to the material of the installation area.
Using the side cable access hole SW458M When installing the camera directly on the ceiling or wall with cables exposed, cut out a portion of the enclosure to open a cable access hole. Side cable access hole IMPORTANT: • To prevent injury and protect cables, smooth opened cable access holes of the enclosure with a file or other tool.
Note: • The direction of “gTOP” on the camera attachment (accessory) determines the upwards direction of the image on the PC monitor. • For ceiling mounting: Determine the direction that you want images to be displayed upwards on the PC monitor, and then mount the camera attachment with “gTOP” facing this direction. • For wall mounting: The camera attachment (accessory) shall be mounted with “gTOP” facing upward.
Using the mount bracket (accessory) SW458 Note: • When the camera is mounted on the ceiling or wall with a hole for cable running, or the camera is mounted using open wiring, the mount bracket (accessory) is used. IMPORTANT: • If open wiring is conducted, be sure to use conduits and run the cables inside the tubes to protect the cables from direct sunlight.
x Determine the direction of the mount bracket according to the installation environment (how the cables are wired, etc.) before mounting it to a ceiling or a wall by fixing 4 screws (locally procured). The direction of the camera in relation to the mount bracket is the 4 directions as shown in the illustration. Cable hole IMPORTANT: • For mounting a camera on a concrete surface, use an anchor bolt (M4) or an AY plug bolt (M4) for installing. (Recommended tightening torque M4: 1.6 N·m {1.
Align the direction of the conduit to the direction of the female thread for the conduit on the mount bracket, and mount the mount bracket to hole A or hole B on the ceiling or wall. [For use of the hole A] Conduit Mount bracket (accessory) Female thread for the conduit Fixing screws (4 pcs., locally procured) Note: • Only the same type of holes, A or B, shall be used for mounting.
c In the direction determined in x, fix the camera attachment (accessory) on the mount bracket using the fixing screws (accessory). (Recommended tightening torque: 0.78 N·m {0.58 lbf·ft}) P TO Camera attachment (accessory) Fixing screws (accessory) Note: • The direction of “gTOP” on the camera attachment (accessory) determines the upwards direction of the image on the PC monitor.
Insert/remove an SD memory card IMPORTANT: • When inserting an SD memory card, make sure the direction. • Before removing the SD memory card, select “Not use” for “SD memory card” on the [SD memory card] tab of the “Basic” page first. Turn off the power after “Not use” selection, and then unload the SD memory card. When the SD memory card is inserted or removed with the power on, data in the SD memory card may be damaged.
Connection Caution: • ONLY CONNECT 12 V DC CLASS 2 POWER SUPPLY or LIMITED POWER SOURCE. Turn off a circuit breaker before making a connection. Before starting the connection, prepare the required devices and cables. Note: • When using the mount bracket (accessory), it is possible to connect the cables after mounting the camera onto the mount bracket. SW458 • Refer to page 20 when connecting the conduit.
z Connect the microphone/line input cable and the microphone (for use of the audio reception function). Input impedance: 2 kΩ±10 % Recommended cable length: Less than 1 m {3.3 feet} (for microphone input) Less than 10 m {33 feet} (for line input) Recommended microphone: Plug-in power type microphone (option) Connect a monaural mini plug (ø3.5 mm). • Supply voltage: 2.5 V ±0.
IMPORTANT: • Input and output of the External I/O terminal 2 and 3 can be switched by configuring the setting. “Off” is selected by default. It is possible to determine whether or not to receive input from External I/O terminal 2 and 3 (ALARM IN2, 3) by selecting “Off”, “Alarm input”, “Alarm output” or “AUX output” for “Terminal 2” or “Terminal 3” on the [Alarm] tab of the “Alarm” page.
