This manual offers reference material and general information about the basic operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of the Dahua Network PTZ Camera. Read, follow, and retain the following safety instructions. Heed all warning on the unit and in the operating instructions before operating the unit.
Ensure a service technician uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer, or that have the same characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized parts may cause fire, electrical shock, or other hazards. Dahua is not liable for any damage or harm caused by unauthorized modifications or repairs.
• Dahua recommends the use of a thunder-proof device in concert with the unit. • Do not touch the CCD or the CMOS optic sensor. Use a blower to clean dust or dirt on the lens surface.
• Video loss is inherent to all digital surveillance and recording devices; therefore Dahua cannot be held liable for any damage that results from missing video information. To minimize the occurrence of lost digital information, Dahua recommends multiple, redundant recording systems, and adoption of backup procedure for all data.
2 Unpacking This equipment should be unpacked and handled with care. If an item appears to have sustained damage during shipping, notify the shipper immediately. Verify that all the parts listed below are included. If an item is missing, contact customer support or your local representative.
3.1 Framework and Dimensions The following figures show the dimensions of the device in mm (in.). These images are intended as a reference only. Figure 3-1: Dimensions for 6AE240VNI 3.2 Wiring The dome camera includes the following wiring bundles: Wire Color...
3.3 Alarm Setup Certain devices support alarm inputs and outputs, check your specific device for alarm capability. Alarm Input Refer to Figure 3-3 for alarm input configuration. The device collects that status of the alarm input port when the input signal is idle or grounded. If the input signal is connected to the 3.3 V or it is idle then the device receives the alarm input signal.
Certain cameras include a SDHC card slot for onboard storage that support a 128 GB Micro SD card. Dahua recommends using a SanDisk Extreme Micro SD card (or an equivalent substitute) as these cards have been fully tested without issue and the SanDisk Extreme line is better suited for constant recording.
A readily accessible 2-pole disconnect device with a contact separation of at least 3 mm must be incorporated. Note: Dahua recommends attaching a “drip loop” (flex or hard conduit) during installation to ensure condensation does not form in the mount or the conduit.
4.1 Preparing the Camera The Network PTZ camera comes with the PFB303W Wall Mount and the PFA111 Mount Adapter, the installer must supply the following hardware: • Four (4) bolts, washers or other fastening hardware to secure the wall mount to the installation medium.
4.3 Mounting the Camera to a Wall 1. Place the PFB303W Wall Mount against the wall and mark the location of the center hole and mark the four (4) perimeter mounting holes. 2. Pre-drill the four perimeter holes as marked on the wall for the expansion bolts, using a drill bit that is no wider than the expansion bolt.
10. Connect the safety tether to the dome and to the hook on the mount adapter. Figure 4-4 11. Connect the incoming cables routed through the wall mount to the corresponding power, Ethernet, audio, and alarm cables from the dome composite cable. Installing the Camera Figure 4-5 1.
