The following describes procedures for mounting the camera to a ceiling.

Before installing the camera, set the IP address and other network information on the camera 

using the “Camera Management Tool” on the Setup CD-ROM.

 For details on how to operate the 

“Camera Management Tool”, see “Camera Management Tool User Manual”.

Use the included template to determine the positions of the fixing screw holes and wiring hole   
( 40 mm ( 1.6 in.)) according to the camera orientation. Next, cut out the wiring hole, and drill 
the fixing screw holes in the the ceiling.
Use the template with the printed side facing you.

Special temper-resistant screws are used for the dome case lock screws. Use the included 
dome case lock screw wrench. 

Remove the 4 pieces of tape that prevent lens rotation during shipping, and push the inner 
cover in the direction of the arrows to remove it. Then remove the 2 pieces of tape attached to 
the base of the lens.

 Important

Do not move the lens unit by hand. This can damage the lens unit.

Use a box cutter to cut a cross shape into the wiring hole cover in order to guide cables 
through. Do not remove the wiring hole cover.

Use a coin to unscrew the wiring hole cover from the side through which cables will be 
guided. Screw the wiring hole cover into the other wiring hole. You can fit a composite pipe 
(NPT 3/4 inch threaded hole) to the wiring hole.

Securely attach the safety wire to an anchor or structure. After securing one end of the safety wire 
to the ceiling, secure the other end to the camera using the screw that is fastened to the camera.

When using an external power supply, guide the power interface cable through the wiring 
hole. Guide the I/O interface cable and the audio interface cable (included) through the wiring 
hole if necessary.

 Important

When using the AC Adapter (sold separately), cut the cable tie and remove 
the ferrite core. Be sure not to damage the power cable when cutting the 
cable tie.

Cable tie

Fix the camera at three points to the ceiling using the appropriate screws. Three ceiling fixing 
screw holes are located on the camera. You must provide screws that correspond to the 
ceiling fixing screw holes.

Wire the cables referring to “Cable Wiring Method”.

 Important

When wiring is complete, seal the wiring hole to keep out insects and dust.

Attach the inner cover to its original position.

Firmly fix the dome case at three points to the camera using the dome case screws.

 

If the cables cannot be stored above a ceiling made 
of concrete, etc., break the cutout section of the dome 
case using diagonal pliers to create a cutout through 
which to guide the cables.

 Important 

When attaching the dome case, be sure not to pinch cables between the camera and dome case. Pinched 
cables may impair dust and waterproofing capabilities.

When installation is complete, use the Camera Angle Setting Tool to adjust the pan, tilt, 
rotation, zoom (and focus) see “Operation Guide” > “Camera Angle Setting Tool”).

Cutout section

Power can be supplied to the camera in the three ways described below. Please be sure to read 

the user manual for the dedicated power supply before use.

 Note

•  The camera does not have a power switch. Connecting and disconnecting the LAN cable (PoE power 

supply), AC adapter, or external power supply plug turns the power ON and OFF, respectively.

•  When the camera needs to be rebooted, perform the reboot operation from the camera setting page 

(see “Operation Guide” > “Setting Page” > “Maintenance”).

•  When using the heater unit HU600-VB (sold separately), use 24 V AC for the VB-H630VE/VB-M620VE 

power supply. PoE, 12 V DC and the AC adapter cannot be used. 



 PoE (Power over Ethernet)

The camera supports PoE functions. Power can be supplied to the camera by using a LAN cable 

to connect it to a PoE HUB that conforms to the IEEE 802.3af standard.

 Important 

•  Check with your dealer for more information about PoE HUB and Midspan technology. 

Midspan (a LAN cable power supply device) is a device that, like a PoE HUB, supplies power to the 
camera via a LAN cable.

•  Some PoE HUBs allow current limits for each port, but applying limits may interfere with performance. If 

using this type of PoE HUB, do not limit the operating current.

•  Some PoE HUBs have total consumption current limits for ports, which can interfere with performance 

when multiple ports are in use. For more information, check the instruction guide for your PoE HUB.

•  The camera can also be connected to an AC adapter (sold separately) while receiving power from 

a PoE HUB. In such cases, the PoE power supply is given priority, and the camera does not use the 
power supply from the AC adapter (sold separately). When the PoE power supply is disconnected, 
power is supplied automatically from the AC adapter (sold separately). 



 External Power Supply

12 V DC or 24 V AC input can be used.

•  12 V DC:  Voltage fluctuation within ±10% of 12 V DC 

Current supply capacity of at least 1.5 A per camera

•  When using a 12 V DC battery power supply, be sure to connect 

resistors of at least 0.5 – 1.0 

Ω

/20 W in series to the power line.

•  For an external power supply, use a double-insulated device.
