Installation SuggestionsIV
1. Prepare power wires, a ground wire, and a CAT5e Ethernet cable. Pass them through the M16 waterproof connectors and its waterproof components.
When installing a housing that comes with an IR illuminator:
Please avoid eye exposure or apply appropriate protection, such as wearing a pair of Infrared protection glasses, when working with the product. Always use camera live view to oberve IR lighting effects.
WARNING:
Ethernet cable 4 ~ 6.5mm
Power wires & DI/DO wires, a combo cable from IR illuminator (if applied)
Note that some cables are connected when shipped. You do not need to connect heater, blower, and the front IR powere wires.

You may need to remove the RJ45 connector, and use a crimping tool to connect the Ethernet wires to an RJ45 connector inside the enclosure. Use an Ethernet cable of the width of 5 ~ 6.5mm.
2. When done, tighten up and install the waterproof connectors.
3. Assemble the camera components, e.g., the CS ring and lens module. Secure the mounting plate to the bottom of the camera (the label side) using the included screw.

Lens flush w/ edge of enclosure
4. Adjust the camera's position so that the lens module can flush align with the tempered glass. Secure the camera using the screws and washers to the bottom of the housing.
Intrusion Alarm - Available on AE-23A/B/C/D/E/F.
If preferred, install the intrusion alarm switch to the side of enclosure, and connect the detection wires to camera DI.

9. Adjust zoom and focus and open a web console with the camera to tune for the best image. When zoom and focus is done, Close the top cover and fasten the top cover screws.
The housing can also be installed using the pole-mount or corner-mount options along with a power box (AA-351, AA-352), outdoor PoE switch, or junction box.
CaMate IR illuminators
If external IRs are installed, you can contact VIVOTEK for a different type of waterproof connectors for the 1/2" conduits. You can then route two of the conduits through the opening in the front of the bracket to the corresponding connectors on the IR illuminators. The 24V power wires to the IR illuminators are contained within.

11. Firmware configurable options:
Open a web console with the camera.
Use the Media > Focus function to tune for a best image focus on your target area.
If preferred, e.g., shooting fast moving vehicles, select the 60fps frame rate.
22
In the night mode, check if the input signals are correctly detected. You may simulate the night mode by blocking the IR unit's light sensor. Change the triggering parameters when necessary.
Make sure that external IR is turned on in the night mode, and that the IR cut filter option is synchronized with the digital input you connected.

For example: LightSensorGate = 100 FF 01 00 18 03 0A 26 LightSensorGate = 200 FF 01 00 18 03 14 30
The parameters of IR illuminator can be controlled via the RS485 connection. You can enable the connection in Configuration > PTZ > Mechanical window. Select the defaults for the IR illuminator: Pelco D, baud rate - 2400, Data bits - 8, Stop bit - 1, Parity - none.
