The camera’s external INPUT interface allows you to connect a device (such as sensors, motion detectors, etc.) that can be used to trigger the camera’s image 
buffering and transferring features (see Section 2 Using Triggers to Buffer and Transfer Images in the Operating Instructions on the CD-ROM).
The external INPUT interface has 1 terminal.

• Do not push strongly on the external INPUT interface with the pointed 

object. The external INPUT interface may get stuck into the unit, and you 
may not be able to use it. 

External sensor input 1. The camera can be triggered by either an 
open circuit or a GND short-circuit.

GND terminal.

• The external INPUT interface is not capable of connecting directly to 

devices that require large amounts of current. In some cases, a custom 
interface circuit (customer-provided) may have to be used. Serious 
damage to the camera may result if a device that exceeds its electrical 
capability is connected to the external INPUT interface.

• Low voltage/current circuits and high voltage/current circuits are used in 

the camera circuit. All wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician. 
Incorrect wiring could damage the camera and cause a fatal electric shock.

Please read the following information before mounting the camera. Consult an authorised dealer for mounting.
Caution:

• Make sure you attach the safety wire when mounting the camera on a ceiling to prevent the camera from falling.

• The camera is intended for indoor use only and should not be mounted outdoors.
• The included screws are for use with wooden ceilings only.
• Use screws that are appropriate for the material of ceiling.
• If the ceiling or wall material is mortar or concrete, see P.26 “When mounting the camera on a concrete or mortar ceiling”.
• Do not drive the screws into a soft material. Drive the screws into a secure, 25 mm (1 inch) thick area of the ceiling or wall, such

as a crossbeam, otherwise the camera may fall. If there is no crossbeam, place a board on the other side of the ceiling or wall to
make sure the camera is securely mounted. 

• The pull-out strength of the installation area must be at least 294 N (30 kgf) per screw. 
• Mount the camera to a flat horizontal ceiling surface or vertical wall. (The camera cannot be used on surfaces that have more

than a 15

° slant.)

• The camera cover must be removed in order to insert or remove the SD memory card.
• The camera’s MAC address and serial number are printed on the bottom of the camera and are needed in order for camera con-

figuration and maintenance. Make a note of both of them before mounting the camera.

• Mounting and cabling instructions described in this document follow generally accepted guidelines suitable for residential instal-

lations. In some areas, commercial and industrial installations are regulated by local or state ordinances. For such installations,
contact your local building department or building inspector for more details.

• Camera images can be viewed in relatively dark areas, however, image quality decreases when viewing dark images. We rec-

ommend using supplemental lighting for best results.

• Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or halogen light may damage the camera’s image sensor. Mount the camera appropriately.
• Do not directly touch the lens cover. Clean the lens cover with a dry and soft cloth if necessary.
• When mounting the camera, make sure to wrap the AC adaptor cord (if used) around the hooks as shown to ensure secure con-

nections.

• Adjust the installation location and the direction the camera is facing while watching the actual camera image being displayed on

a computer screen.
