3You can connect a TV or other video device (NTSC or PAL format) to the camera to monitor or record camera images. Connect the video device as shown below.The camera’s external I/O interface allows you to connect 2 devices (such as sensors, motion detectors, etc.) that can be used to trigger the camera’s imagebuffering and transferring features (see Section 2 Using Triggers to Buffer and Transfer Images in the Operating Instructions on the CD-ROM).The external I/O interface has 6 terminals.Mounting the CameraThree mounting methods are available, as shown here. Confirm which side is the top and bottom of the camera when mounting; do not mount the camera upsidedown. Consult an authorized dealer for mounting.Caution• Do not drive the screws into a soft material. Drive the screws into a secure area of the wall or ceiling, such as a column, otherwise the camera may fall and bedamaged.• Make sure you attach the safety wire when mounting the camera, to prevent the camera from falling.Note• For BB-HCM511/BB-HCM515: The camera is intended for indoor use only and should not be mounted outdoors.• For BB-HCM531: If you install the camera outdoors, the external microphone or speaker must be outdoor compatible.• Use screws that are appropriate for the material of the wall or ceiling.• The included screws are for use with wooden walls or ceilings only.• To ensure that camera images are displayed properly, do not mount the camera on an incline. Mount the camera so that it is perpendicular to the floor. Do notmount the camera upside down.• Mounting and cabling instructions described in this document follow generally accepted guidelines suitable for residential installations. In some areas,commercial and industrial installations are regulated by local or state ordinances. For such installations, contact your local building department or buildinginspector for more details.• Camera images can be viewed in relatively dark areas, however, image quality decreases when viewing dark images. We recommend using supplementallighting for best results.• Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or halogen light may damage the camera’s image sensor. Mount the camera appropriately.• When mounting the camera, make sure to wrap the AC adaptor cord (if used) and other cables (external microphone or speaker cable, video cable, etc.) aroundthe hooks as shown to ensure secure connections.Connecting a Video DeviceNote• Analog video output is disabled by default. See 7.5 Controlling the AnalogVideo Output Signal in the Operating Instructions on the CD-ROM formore information.Connecting External SensorsCircuit Diagram ExampleCaution• The external I/O interface is not capable of connecting directly to devicesthat require large amounts of current. In some cases, a custom interfacecircuit (customer-provided) may have to be used. Serious damage to thecamera may result if a device that exceeds its electrical capability isconnected to the external I/O interface.• Low voltage/current circuits and high voltage/current circuits are used inthe camera circuit. All wiring should be performed by a qualifiedelectrician. Incorrect wiring could damage the camera and cause a fatalelectric shock.• External devices connected to the camera’s output terminals cannot becontrolled in the event of a network error or failure. Keep this in mind whenconnecting door locks, heat-emitting devices, or other devices that maybe dangerous if they cannot be controlled.Terminal DescriptionG GND terminal.1 External sensor input 1. The camera can be triggered by either an opencircuit or a GND short-circuit.G GND terminal.2 External sensor input 2. The camera can be triggered by either an opencircuit or a GND short-circuit.3External device control output. Allows you to control an external deviceusing the output buttons in the camera’s operation bar (for example,turning a light on or off).• This terminal’s behavior can be changed (see 7.4 Controlling theExternal Output Terminal in the Operating Instructions on the CD-ROM).• This terminal is an open collector circuit. The maximum drawingcurrent is the same as terminal 4. Do not exceed the voltage of theterminal 4.4DC power output terminal.• 10.5–13 V DC• Maximum load drive is 100 mA.Note• Do not push strongly on the external I/O interface with the pointed object. Theexternal I/O interface may get stuck into the unit, and you may not be able touse it.For video deviceExternal I/O interfaceLightDoor Sensor 1 (Alarm 1)Door Sensor 2 (Alarm 2)RelayCamera12 V*234G1G*DC 10.5 V–13 VHook for AC adaptor cord,video cable, external I/Ointerface wiresHook for externalaudio cablesTo video deviceVideo cable(φ 3.5 mm plug)
