Installation Instructions

Mounting the Camera

  1. Locate the network drop above the ceiling either being a male Ethernet end (service loop) or a biscuit jack. This will have been ran back to the POE switch.
    Note: If the switch does not have POE, a POE injector will need to be installed at the network closet.
  2. Remove Axis T94A02L kit from packaging. This will include the mounting bracket and the camera dome ring.
  3. Determine the location where the 5655 will be mounted and remove the ceiling tile
  4. Measuring the ceiling mount bracket, note that there is a slight lip to the camera mount

  5. Find center of the ceiling tile and using a pencil, draw a circle approximately nine inches in diameter
  6. Using a drywall saw, cut out the section of ceiling tile where the mount will be inserted

  7. Using a T20 bit, tighten the mounting arms of the ceiling mount

    Note: Ensure not to over tighten into the ceiling tile.
  8. Pass the Axis MultiCable C I/O and the Ethernet cable through the hole at the top of the camera mount

  9. Connect cables to their respective ports

  10. Before locking the 5635 to the mounting posts in the ceiling mount, ensure that the safety cable is attached to the camera

  11. Insert the camera into the ceiling mount and twist until locked in place securely

  12. Using a T20 bit, secure the dome ring to the camera mount

  13. Carefully return the ceiling tile to its location

Note: If not using drop ceiling, use alternate instructions inside of the box for mounting to a hard ceiling.

Connecting Wiring

  1. Begin but cutting two lengths of 22/2. Ensure they are long enough to reach the microphone location. One will be for audio signal. One will be for power.
  2. Strip the jacket off the 22/2, revealing the red, black, and common (bare wire) on both sides of the cable.
  3. Remove the string and plastic casings covering the red and black cables.
  4. Strip the red and black jackets off the wire exposing the copper. Cut copper evenly on both ends. Remove ground.
  5. At the Axis MultiCable C I/O, connect the ends of 22/2
    • Audio will be connected to the "In" on the audio terminal block - Red to +, Black to -
    • Power will be connected to the I/O terminal block - Red to to 2, Black to 1

Connecting the STM-1

  1. Cut a short piece of 22/2 cable (approx. 1 inch). Strip the jacket and from the cable and remove all contents keeping only the red cable. On both ends of the red cable, strip off a piece of the jacket (See picture).

  2. Connect one end of the 1 inch audio cable to the +PWR terminal and connect the other end into the +PHNTM terminal.

  3. Connect the cable ran for power to both PWR terminals (Red to +, Black to the other terminal) of the STM-1. Connect the other side to the IO phoenix connector (Red to 2, Black to 1).
  4. Connect the cable ran for audio to both HI-Z OUTPUT terminals (Red to +, Black to the other terminal) of the STM-1. Connect the other side to the audio in portion of the audio phoenix connector (Red to +, Black to –).

  5. Using the Velcro that comes with the STM-1, attach the STM-1 to the wall above drop ceiling hidden from sight.
  6. The microphone will be connected via the input terminals of the STM-1 (Red to +, Black to -, ground to the ground terminal).


(NOTE: If there are 2 cameras in the room, duplicate these steps to get to the 2nd camera. HI-Z output can feed 2 cameras, but no more. If there are 2 Shure MX202i Microphones, duplicate steps. An STM-1 can power and gather audio from 2 Shure 202i mics.)

Connecting and Mounting the Microphone

  1. Asses the drop ceiling to decide best mounting placement for the MX202i. Avoid tiles adjacent to HVAC or fire safety devices.
  2. Drill a hole into the center of the single gang plate using the ½” paddle bit (if not prefabricated).
  3. Measure center of the drop ceiling tile and drill a similar hole with the ½” paddle bit.
  4. Align the single gang plate to the location of the microphone on the drop ceiling tile using a pair of toggle bolts.

  5. Run the MX202i through the ½” hole in the ceiling tile and single gang plate with the rubber stopper to secure the microphone in place and plugging the ½” hole .
  6. Adjust the length of the cable of the microphone to a desirable length, hiding the remainder in the ceiling near the STM-1. Attach the windscreen to the MX202i.

  7. Run the XLR mini cable to the STM-1 location.
  8. Connect the connect the XLR mini to the 4 pin Male XLR adapter.
  9. Strip away a portion of the red and black cables inside the pigtail, revealing the copper wire inside.
    • The microphone will be connected via the input terminals of the STM-1 (Red to +, Black to -, ground to the ground terminal).
  10. Connect the female XLR to the Male XLR adapter
