1 PT-Series HD Camera Installation
1.1
The PT-Series HD camera is both an analog and an IP camera. The video from the camera can be
viewed over a traditional analog video network or it can be viewed by streaming it over an IP network
using MJPEG or H.264 encoding. Analog video will require a connection to a video monitor or an
analog matrix/switch. The IP video will require a connection to an Ethernet network switch and the
appropriate software for viewing the video stream.
1.2
The PT-Series HD camera is intended to be mounted outdoors on a medium-duty fixed pedestal mount
or wall mount commonly used in the CCTV industry. Cables will exit from the back of the camera
housing. The mount must support up to 45 lbs (20 KG). The camera can be controlled through either
serial or IP communications. The camera operates on 21 Vac to 30 Vac or 21 Vdc to 30 Vdc. In order
to access the electrical connections and install the cables, it is necessary to temporarily remove the
back cover of the camera housing. Ensure the back cover is replaced in the same orientation, with the
two cable glands below the central pressure equalization vent.
1.2.1
Camera connections are made through water-tight cable gland seals on the rear of the camera. Refer
Cable Gland Sealing, pg. 16
to
Analog video will require at least one connection to a video monitor or an analog video matrix switch.
In most analog installations, two video connections will be used—one for the thermal camera video,
and one for the daylight camera video. The camera provides two BNC connectors for these analog
video channels.
An Ethernet connection is provided for IP video streaming and for command and control
communications using a web browser.
For analog installations that are not using Ethernet/IP, a serial cable (RS232 or RS422) can be
connected and used for command and control communications, supporting either Pelco D or Bosch
protocols. It is recommended an Ethernet cable should also be installed to allow easy remote access
for camera configuration, operation, and troubleshooting.
