IV Installation Suggestions WARNING: • When installing a housing that comes with an IR illuminator: Please avoid eye exposure or apply appropriate protection, such as wearing a pair of Infrared protection glasses, when working with the product. Always use camera live view to oberve IR lighting effects. V Installation 1. Prepare power wires, a ground wire, and a CAT5e Ethernet cable. Pass them through the M16 waterproof connectors and its waterproof components. Ethernet cable Ø4 ~ 6.

When done, tighten up and install the waterproof connectors. 3. Assemble the camera components, e.g., the CS ring and lens module. Secure the mounting plate to the bottom of the camera (the label side) using the included screw.
Intrusion Alarm - Available on AE-23A/B/C/D/E/F. If preferred, install the intrusion alarm switch to the side of enclosure, and connect the detection wires to camera DI. 4. Adjust the camera's position so that the lens module can flush align with the tempered glass. Secure the camera using the screws and washers to the bottom of the housing.

of the housing by driving two screws. Below are the mounting hole dimensions for the mounting brackets. Chances are you may need to plan for the locations of the brackets. AM-21D AM-811 AM-21E 15 AM-11F English 7.
8. Install the housing to the wall-mount bracket by aiming and pressing the spring mortise, and hook the bracket onto the groove in the spring mortise. Safety tether wire Secure the T30 anti-tamper screws on the other side using the included L-wrench. Connect the included safety wire between enclosure and bracket. If using other mount brackets, use the included M6 screws to secure the housing to the bracket. Use the mounting holes indicated below.
AM-21D AM-11F AM-811 Another two mounting holes in the front can be used use an IR bracket, AM-219. The bracket can be used to install external IRs. AM-219 17 English The AM-21D wall-mount, AM-11F, and AM-811 pendant brackets use the two mounting holes as indicated below.
If external IRs are installed, you can contact VIVOTEK for a different type of waterproof connectors for the 1/2" conduits. You can then route two of the conduits through the opening in the front of the bracket to the corresponding connectors on the IR illuminators. The 24V power wires to the IR illuminators are contained within. CaMate IR illuminators 9. Adjust zoom and focus and open a web console with the camera to tune for the best image.

If a power box or outdoor PoE switch is applied, Use the following mounting positions for the camera housings (via AM-21D and AM-21E). AM-21D AM-21E 10. If an IR illuminator is preferred, remove the metal cover from underneath the housing. Install the IR unit (AI-106, -108, -109) by fastening 4 T30 anti-tamper screws. Note that the bubber gasket should be in place when you install the unit.
English 11. Firmware configurable options: Open a web console with the camera. Use the Media > Focus function to tune for a best image focus on your target area. If preferred, e.g., shooting fast moving vehicles, select the 60fps frame rate.
Make sure that external IR is turned on in the night mode, and that the IR cut filter option is synchronized with the digital input you connected. In the night mode, check if the input signals are correctly detected. You may simulate the night mode by blocking the IR unit's light sensor. Change the triggering parameters when necessary.
English VI Appendix: RS485 Commands For housings that come with IR illuminators, wiper, and washer, commands can be delivered via the RS485 protocol. The RS485 connection uses the Pelco D protocol. Configuration parameters: Baud rate Data bits Parity Stop bit 2400 8 None 1 Command format: Byte1 Sync Byte2 Addr Byte3 CMND1 Byte4 CMND2 Byte5 DATA1 Byte6 DATA2 Byte7 CKSM Addr range: 0x00 ~ 0xFE. CKSM: check sum is the last 8 bits of the sum of Byte2 through Byte6.
