Chapter 2 Camera Installation

Installing the IP Camera

Warning This product must be connected to a power-over-ethernet (PoE) IEEE 802.3af compliant power source or an IEC60950 compliant limited power source. Statement 353

Caution Inline power circuits provide current through the communication cable. Use the Cisco provided cable or a minimum 24AWG communication cable.

Note The power adapter that you use with the IP camera must provide power that is within +/–10% of the required power.

Note The equipment is to be connected to a Listed class 2, limited power source.

Installing the IP Camera

To install the Cisco Video Surveillance 6400 IP Camera, perform the following steps.

Note Use Figure 2-1as a visual reference for the following procedure.

Procedure

Step 1 Attach the alignment sticker to the wall. Drill three mounting holes and one larger cabling hole into the wall, hammer the three included wall anchors into the holes, and secure the mounting plate with included screws.

Step 2 Attach the camera anchor bracket to the side of the IP camera with the two included screws.

Step 3 (Optional) If you want to use an external power source for the 6400 IP camera, or use external devices such as sensors and alarms, complete the steps in the “Connecting External Power and I/O Cables” section on page 2-5before continuing to Step 4.

Step 4 Feed the cable with an RJ 45 jack through the front opening of the wall mount bracket.

Step 5 Push the spring mortise and hook the camera anchor bracket onto the groove of the wall mount bracket. Step 6 Secure the two screws on the other side of the wall mount bracket.

Step 7 Hang the wall mount bracket on the mounting plate.

Step 8 Secure the wall mount bracket to the mounting plate with the included screw.

Step 9 Connect the RJ45 jack to your network using an Ethernet cable, or to ensure a waterproof network connection, complete the steps in the “Connecting a Waterproof Ethernet Cable” section on page 2-8.

Step 10 Adjust the angle of the wall mount bracket to achieve desired IP camera field of view.

Step 11 (Optional) Install the sun shield. For more information, see the “Installing the Sun Shield” section on page 2-9.
