Installation

Before installation:
Make sure that the device is in good condition and all the assembly parts are included.
•
Check the specification of the products for the installation environment.
•
Make sure that the wall or the ceiling is strong enough to withstand 3 times the weight of the camera.
•
To avoid fire or shock hazard, use only UL listed power supplies. Verify that the power supply will
•
provide the rated voltage and wattage for the camera. See the Specifications section.
During installation:
Camera Lens: Handle the camera carefully to prevent scratching or soiling the lens. If the lens or IR
•
array shield becomes soiled, clean it only with approved products. See the
Power supply: Camera drop cable: The camera drop cable includes two connectors:
•
Video BNC connector: For transmission of the video signal across a coax (75 Ω) extension cable
—
to an HD-TVI or CVBS compatible recorder.
Power connector: When applying power, observe the power polarity. See the picture to the
—
right for the connector polarity configuration.

Mounting the camera

An ALI-BC1720EC camera can be mounted on a wall or ceiling that has sufficient strength to support it.
The video/power drop cable from the camera can be routed either through mounting surface or through a
cable guide in the mounting base.
Typical ceiling mounting
If mounting the camera on a wall, ensure that the cable guide in the mounting base is down.
NOTE
If mounting the camera on a ceiling, orient the mounting base so that the cable guide is pointing
away from any source of water, dust, and other contaminates.
1. Using the drill template provided, mark the location of the screws that anchor the mounting base
to the mounting surface. See the note above. If you are routing the drop cable through mounting
surface, also mark the position of the hole for the drop cable.
2. Drill holes for the screws that anchor the base to the mounting surface. The mounting hardware
provided is appropriate for most surfaces. However, depending on the surface materials, more
appropriate fasteners may be required.
3. If routing the drop cable through the mounting surface, drill a 5/8" hole in the middle of the drill
template.
4. Route the drop cable through the hole in the mounting surface, or through the cable guide in the
mounting base, then attach the camera assembly to the surface using the appropriate fasteners.
5. Connect the camera drop cable to video and power extension cables as required.
