RoboSHOT HD Cameras INSTALLATION BASICS: The RoboSHOT cameras include a Thin Profile Wall Mount for mounting the camera. There are options for IN-Wall™ mounts and IN-Ceiling™ Half-Recessed Enclosure with Cat-5/5e/6 cable connectivity for Video, Power and Control signaling (two Cat-5e cables are required). Installation is simplified in that no custom 8-Pin mini-din cables or expensive plenum coax cables are needed and no power outlets are required near the camera bracket. All cabling is routed to the head-end using Cat-5e cables with standard straight through RJ-45 connectors (568B termination). "Passthru" type RJ-45 connectors should be avoided like bad clichés." Determine Camera Mount Location When locating the camera, consider viewing angles, lighting conditions, possible line of site obstructions and check for in-wall or in-ceiling obstructions where the camera is to be mounted. Always pick a mounting location to optimize the performance of the camera. Please locate the camera to enable easy positioning of the camera body with the ability to point down and away from the ceiling and a pile of fluorescent lighting cells. Cameras generally don't like to be swamped with fluorescent light and nobody sits on the ceiling anyway. After determining the optimum location of the camera system, pull and route the required two (2) Cat-5e cables from the camera location back to the Quick-Connect (head-end). Test and mark the Cat-5e cables: EZ-POWER VIDEO and RS-232. Note: Please check all Cat-5/5e/6 cables for continuity in advance of final connection. Use 568B straight-thru termination. Plugging the Power Cat-5/5e/6 cable into the wrong RJ-45 or using the wrong pin-out may cause damage to the camera system and void the warranty, which is typically bad...mostly. The Cat-5e cables should feed-through the cable management slots provided by all Vaddio mounting options. If the wall mount is to be mounted on a 2-gang wall box, use the screws supplied with the wall box cover plate to attach Thin Profile Wall Mount Bracket. If mounting to drywall with wall anchors, use the four (4) quality wall anchors and screws provided. Use a level to level the mount... The Thin Profile Wall Mount Bracket's mounting holes are slotted and are 90° opposing to provide easy leveling. Level the mount and place the camera on the mount. Connect the marked and tested Cat-5e cables to the appropriate RJ-45 jacks. Check the level again to avoid any of those weird Batman camera angles. Use the provided ¼"-20 x .375 mounting screw to attach the Camera to the mount. System Wiring Follow the sample wiring diagram (page 12) for connecting the Cat-5e cables to the camera and Quick-Connect USB Interface. Additional diagrams are available on the Vaddio website. Connect the camera side as follows:  Connect the EZ-POWER VIDEO Cat-5e to the EZ-POWER VIDEO RJ-45 connector on the RoboSHOT.  Connect the RS-232 control Cat-5e to the RS-232 RJ-45 on the RoboSHOT camera. Connect the Quick-Connect side (at the head end) as follows: With the Quick Connect USB Mini not powered-up.  Connect the RS-232 Cat-5e cable to the RS-232 RJ-45 connector on the USB Mini.  Connect the EZ-POWER VIDEO Cat-5e to the EZ-POWER VIDEO RJ-45 connector on the USB Mini.
