Installation and Connection

Provides the complete installation procedures and connection examples required for the device.

Installing the Camera

Follow the steps below to safely install the camera.

Installation Precautions

Be sure to read the following precautions before installing the camera.

Warning

• Install the camera in a location that can support a load of at least 5 times the camera's weight.

• Avoid pinching cables or damaging the wire insulation, as this may cause product damage or fire.

• Keep others away from the installation area while installing the camera. Before you begin, remove any valuables or items below the installation area that could be damaged.

• Using excessive force when assembling may cause malfunction or damage to the product. Use only the specified tools.

Caution

Waterproof and Dustproof Precautions

• This product meets IP66 and IP67 ratings for water and dust protection, but do not install it in locations exposed to direct water spray or continuous immersion.

• When opening the cover during installation, take care to prevent moisture or dust from entering the interior.

• When connecting cables, make sure to properly fasten the provided waterproof components.

Installation

Info

• We recommend mounting the camera on the ceiling to achieve a wide field of view.

• Do not install the camera where it will be exposed directly to sunlight or UV rays.

• Adjust the installation location to avoid direct sunlight on the lens or strong backlighting, as these can degrade AI-based face and object recognition performance.

1. Use the provided T10 star screwdriver to turn the screws counterclockwise and remove the camera cover.

   

2. Loosen the mount plate's fixing screws by turning them counterclockwise, then separate the mount plate from the camera body.

   

3. Insert a microSD card into the microSD card slot on the camera body. To connect USB (Type-A) accessories, plug them into the USB port.

   

4. Position the mount plate at the installation location, taking the camera's viewing direction into account. Mark the screw and cable hole locations, then drill.

   

   Info

   When installing on a wall rather than a ceiling, orient the mount plate so the red triangle points to 12 o'clock (north).

5. Pass the cables to be connected (power, network, audio/alarm, etc.) through the appropriate hole in the mounting plate.

   

6. Use the mounting screws to securely fasten the mount plate.

   

7. Remove the Ethernet cable’s waterproof rubber and the waterproof hole plug from the camera body, then attach the required cables.

   

   Connect the Ethernet cable

   

   1. Slide the removed waterproof rubber for the Ethernet cable onto the Ethernet cable.

   2. Insert the Ethernet cable’s waterproof rubber into the camera body’s Ethernet hole.

   3. Fasten the joint and nut onto the Ethernet cable’s waterproof rubber.

   Connect other cables

   Pass the cable through the hole where you removed the camera body’s waterproof hole plug, then install the waterproof rubber.

   

8. Fully loosen the mount plate fixing screw, align the camera body with the center of the printed mark (red triangle), then turn the bracket fixing screw clockwise to secure it.

   

   Info

   If you need to adjust the camera angle, rotate the camera body left or right to set the installation angle up to 15° total (up to 8° to each side).

   

9. Use a T10 Torx driver to firmly tighten the bracket fixing screw again.

   

10. Attach the cover to the camera body and use a T10 Torx driver to firmly secure the 3 screws.

Info

Position the AI logo on the cover at the 6 o'clock (south) position relative to the mount plate's red triangle.

Caution

Fully tighten the screws when securing the cover; otherwise, waterproofing may be compromised. (IP66/IP67)

Cable connection and setup

Power supply connection

Caution

• Do not connect the power supply (or adapter) and the PoE+ power source at the same time.

• Use a power adapter approved to IEC/EN 62368-1 with an output rating equal to or greater than the camera's maximum power consumption. If you plan to connect another device to the power adapter, use an adapter with a capacity equal to or greater than the combined power consumption of the camera and the other device.

  • Refer to the Power section in the product specifications for maximum current consumption.

• When connecting the power supply, be aware of the distance between the device and the power supply. The device should be connected as close as possible to the power supply so that the length of the connecting cable is kept to a minimum. If cable connections are made improperly it may cause the device to malfunction. It is recommended to use a 16 AWG or 18 AWG cable if the product is far from the power supply. The connection distance may differ depending on the standard of the cable used and the installation environment. This product supports DC 12V power; check the maximum extension length for each cable type and connect the power correctly.

  Cable standard	Max. extended length
  16 AWG	50 m
  18 AWG	30 m
  20 AWG	20 m

• DO NOT extend the length of power cable when using the power adapter.

Network Connection

TCP/IP: LAN connection (connect to a hub)

• You can connect to the hub using a standard CAT-5e cable.

• Supports PoE+, which provides both power and data over a single Ethernet cable.

Network ports and services

This device uses the following ports for network communication and stable service operation.

Protocol	Service Description
TCP	Used for communication services between the server and the device, and for the device operation status switching service.
UDP	Used for the device discovery service to search for devices on the network.

Info

These ports are required for the product's normal network operation. When configuring firewall or network security settings, allow traffic through these ports.

RS-485 Connection

Connect to external devices via RS-485. Observe the polarity (A/B) when wiring.

Alarm In and Relay I/O connections

Use the product's built-in relay to directly connect external alarm devices (strobe lights, sirens, etc.), door locks, exit buttons, and door sensors without a separate I/O device.

Caution

• Install diodes on both sides of the wiring as shown to protect the relay from reverse current generated when a door lock or strobe light activates.

• External devices connected to the product (e.g., door locks) must use a separate power supply.

• Suprema’s standalone intelligent readers contain internal relays that can directly lock/unlock doors without external controllers for added convenience. For access control applications in need of security, however, it is NOT recommended to use the internal relay of a reader to prevent any tampering attacks which can potentially trigger the door unlock. For such applications, it is highly recommended to use a separate relay unit for a lock control such as Suprema’s Secure I/O 2, DM-20 or CoreStation installed at a secure side of a door.

Info

Take caution of the installation direction of the diode. Install the diode as close as possible to the connected external device.

Audio connections

• Audio input (LINE IN): Connect an audio source. The product includes a built-in microphone on the front.

• Audio output (LINE OUT): Connect to an amplifier. This product does not include a built-in audio amplifier; use a separate amplifier and speakers.

Micro SD Card and USB Device Connections

• Micro SD Card: Insert a Micro SD Card for video storage.

• USB: Connect USB (Type-A) accessories.
