Connecting The Camera - Q-See QD7015P User Manual

CONNECTING THE CAMERA

Before you can operate the camera, you must connect it to a system which can
support PTZ operations. There are three sets of connectors - power, video and
the bare control wires. This latter connection is covered on the next page. We
recommend connecting the camera (at least temporarily) to the DVR to test your
settings and connections before mounting it in its final location.
POWER AND VIDEO CONNECTION
STEP 1. Connect the BNC and
power leads from the camera
to the matching connectors on
a video/power siamese cable
(Note: these may need to be
purchased separately if your
camera was not included as part
of a bundle package).
IMPORTANT! When connecting the
power and video cable between the camera
and the DVR, the "male" power end (red plug)
connects to the matching power lead on the
camera.
STEP 2. Connect the power lead
on the other end of the video/
power cable to a power adapter
or power distribution panel.
Make certain that the power
supply is rated for 12 volts
and 800mA to 1.5A.
STEP 3. Connect the BNC
connector on that same end of
the cable to a Video In port on
the back of the DVR.
You can now plug the camera's power adapter into a surge protector and turn it on.
To protect your investment, we STRONGLY recommended using a surge protector
that is UL-1449 rated, for a clamping voltage of 330 or lower, a Joule rating of at
least 400 and a response time of 10 nanoseconds or less.
