The CAM198 Traditional NiteDevil
The NiteDevil Camera is a traditional style camera for
fitting in a standard housing. This camera offers the
benefits of low light sensitivity and an Infra Red
mechanical filter. The NiteDevil was originally
developed for bars and nightclubs but is also a good
choice for external dimly lit areas such as car parks
and compounds. This camera has many features
including a Sony Colour I.L CCD providing a
resolution of 540 TVL, very low light sensitivity down
to 0.0015 Lux, automatic or manual shutter and
selection of camera options set by a bank of twelve
dipswitches.

Powering the Camera
The dome requires a 24v AC or 12v DC regulated power supply. When connecting to 12v DC power always use a
regulated supply. There is no polarity setting. Use a 12v DC 350mA power supply unit minimum or a 24vAC 220 mA
power supply minimum. (Always allow an additional 25% - 33% additional headroom to extend psu life)
12v DC power connection
The 12V DC cameras require a power supply that has a continuous rating of
350mA or higher per camera. It is recommended that you allow headroom per
camera to be on the safe side especially taking into account any extra load created
by adding an auto-iris lens (typically 10mA). The power supply you choose must
be a well regulated one giving a smooth regulated 12V DC output.
WARNING - This power supply must not be a security type used in intruder
alarms as the over voltage may damage the camera and void the warranty. The
earthing arrangement of an intruder type alarm PSU may give rise to problematic
"earth-loops" and poor voltage regulation can give poor/noisy image quality. We
offer no technical support or warranty with the camera if you use a 13.8V intruder
alarm PSU as it is contrary to the installation & usage instructions of the camera.
The terminal strip will facilitate easier and faster power connection without the
hassle of soldering. The terminal connection can be seen in the picture on the
right. The 12V+ and 0v connections from the power supply can be connected
either way round. If you have a 2.1mm jack plug connected to your power supply
you will need to cut this off and use the bare wires to connect to the terminal
strip. Although this camera is not polarity sensitive and the power connections
can be connected either way round, it is worth mentioning that the 12V positive is
the wire that was connected to the centre pin of the jack plug and the 0V wire was
connected to the outer case.
