6.0 Connecting a camera
6.1 Connecting a (regular) coaxial camera
Depending on the type of surveillance kit, there are a number of camera's supplied. In
the following chapter, we will explain how to connect these cameras.
Before mounting the cameras you need to take the following precautions:
•
Make sure the cameras can indeed view the area you want to guard. It can be
handy to test some locations before mounting the cameras
•
Do not place the cameras directly to the window or other glass surfaces to prevent
reflections
•
The night vision of the cameras is limited compared to viewing the image during
day time. So make sure the cameras are mounted in such a way, the night vision
is sufficient to view the intended area(s) during night time
•
Avoid direct sunlight into the camera, it could cause overexposure
•
Place the camera on a spot which is not too easy for unwanted people to
sabotage the camera
1. Click 'Logout' in the main menu.
2. Click 'Yes' at the 'Are you sure you want to log out' question.
3. Press the 'Power' button on the front of the surveillance recorder.
4. Click 'Yes' at the 'Are you sure that you want to go to the Standby mode?'
question, after which the surveillance recorder reverts to the standby mode.
5. Take the camera out of the packing.
6. Connect the video cable of the camera to a 'Video In' connection of the
surveillance recorder.
7. Connect the power supply of the camera to a wall outlet.
8. Connect the power cable of the power supply to the power connection of the
camera.
6.2 Checking the cameras image
1. Now you have connected a camera, the cameras image can be checked.
2. Turn on the surveillance recorder by pressing the power button at the front of the
surveillance recorder.
3. As soon as the surveillance recorder has been started, you will see that the
screen is divided into several squares. Each of the squares represents a camera-
input.
4. If you have connected the camera to the 'Video-In 1' connection, you will see the
cameras image appear in the upper left corner of your monitor.
Double-click the square which represents the cameras image, to see the cameras
