Chapter 2 Getting Started

Installing the Cisco Video Surveillance 2621 IP Dome

Step 9 (Optional) Connect an external speaker, microphone, or both to the Y cable, then connect the Y cable to the audio port on the IP dome.(see Figure 1-1 on page 1-3). The Y cable that is included in the optional audio/video cables accessory kit can be purchased from Cisco (Cisco part number CIVS-IPCA-1017=).

Each device connects to the audio cable through a standard 3.5 mm mini phone jack. A speaker connects to the green jack, which is labeled “Audio Out.” A microphone connects to the pink jack, which is labeled “Audio In.”

Step 10 (Optional) Use the GPIO ports to connect external devices that trigger alarms (connect through alarm input ports) or respond to alarms (connect through alarm output ports).

See Figure 1-1 on page 1-3).

Step 11 Attach the camera unit to the base plate by aligning the three tabs on the camera unit with the slots on the base plate, pressing the camera unit into the base plate until the tabs snap into place, and securing the camera unit with the two camera unit screws.

Step 12 See Figure 2-16 on page 2-27and take these actions to adjust the camera lens to obtain the desired image

Temporarily attach an analog monitor to the IP dome so that you can see video while adjusting the camera. If the cable from the monitor terminates with a 3.5 mm jack, plug it into the analog video output port on the IP dome. If the cable terminates with a BNC connector, connect it to the mini cable with BNC adapter, then plug the cable into the analog video output port. The mini cable with BNC adapter is included in the audio/video cables accessory kit, which you can purchase from Cisco (Cisco part number CIVS-IPCA-1017=).

Make the following adjustments, viewing the video on the analog monitor as needed:

Back focus—The back focus is factory set for optimal use and should not require adjustments. In the event that it does need to be adjusted, use the 0.9 mm Allen wrench that is supplied with the IP camera to loosen the three back focus hex screws, then adjust the back focus by aiming the IP camera at an object that is at least 15 feet (4.5 meters) away and gently sliding the lens toward or away from the camera. Take care not to pull the lens completely away from the camera. Obtain a sharp picture in both wide-angle and telephoto positions. When the focus is set as desired, use the Allen wrench to tighten the three back focus hex screws.

Pan—Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to loosen the panning lock screw, then rotate the camera to obtain the desired image, then tighten the panning lock screw.

Tilt—Loosen the two tilt lock screws, adjust the lens to obtain the desired image, then tighten the screws.

Caution Do not manually adjust the focus or zoom for the IP camera. Attempting to manually do so may damage the IP camera lens. Instead, use the Focus/Zoom window in the configuration software to remotely set the focus and zoom for the IP camera.

Step 13 Replace the privacy shield by squeezing it to fit inside the four tabs on the camera unit.

Make sure to adjust the privacy shield inside the dome and trim ring assembly so that it does not block the lens from capturing video.

Step 14 Attach the dome assembly by aligning its tab with the opening in the base plate, pressing it into place, and securing the three TORX screws (see Figure 2-15).

Make sure that the security strap that connects the dome assembly to the camera housing is in place.
