Installation Instructions

1. Locate the network drop that is ran back to the HIGH POE switch. (If the switch does not have HIGH POE, you will need to insert a HIGH POE injector back at the network closet. We will need as much as 37W to power up the camera.)
2. Using the instructions included in the P5514/P5515 box, use the razor to cut a hole into the drop ceiling tile and assemble the holding bracket for the camera. Mount bracket to drop ceiling

   

1. Using a stud finder, ensure there aren’t any studs where we'd like to mount the camera. Remove the P5414/P5415 camera from its base with the starbit security driver. Place the base of the camera on the wall where you’d like to mount. Using a marker or pen, mark the 4 areas on the wall where the screws would be and also mark the opening where the any cabling would come through (Areas labeled on picture).

   

2. Using the drill bit, drill the 4 screw markers and place the anchors inside. Using the hole saw (recommended size 2” inches or less), drill a hole into the area where cables would come through.
3. Above drop ceiling, locate the network drop. If it is on a biscuit, you will need the patch cable. If there is an RJ-45 at the end of the drop, the patch cable won’t be needed. Using the hole saw, drill a hole above the drop ceiling in line with the hole drilled where the camera will be mounted. If there isn’t any drywall above the ceiling, adjust accordingly to your circumstance.
4. Using your glow rod or fish tape, fish the network drop and 2 sections of 22/2 audio cable down the drywall. The sections of audio cable should be long enough to reach the destination where the STM-1 preamp will be mounted in your drop ceiling. One will be for audio to the camera; the other will be to power the STM-1.
5. Mount the Axis P5414/5415 base to the wall using the screws associated with the anchors. Remove the middle rubber piece on the camera base and run your network drop and cables through this hole.

   

6. Strip the jacket off the 2 runs of 22/2, revealing the red, black, and common (bare wire). Remove the string and plastic casings covering the red and black cables. Strip the red and black jackets off the wire exposing the copper. Cut copper evenly on both ends (See picture). On the cable for power, remove the common (bare wire) completely.

   

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 of that into the +PHNTM terminal.

   

3. Connect the cable we 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 we 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. We will need another length of 22/2 cable intended for your microphone; connect it to the input terminals of the STM-1 (Red to +, Black to -, ground to the ground terminal). Using the Velcro that comes with the STM-1, attach the STM-1 to the wall above drop ceiling hidden from sight.

   

(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. Strip the jacket of the XLR pigtail revealing the red, black and common cables inside. Strip away a portion of the red and black cables inside the pigtail, revealing the copper wire inside. At the end of your 22/2 cable (connected to the STM-1), twist the wires together with the pigtail (red to red, black to black, common to common). Secure these with B-Connectors (See Pictures). Repeat this process for 2 microphones.

   

2. Drill a hole into the center of the single gang plate using the ½” paddle bit, and a hole into the desired location for the microphone on your drop ceiling tile with a 1" paddle bit. Then secure this single gang plate to the desired location of the microphone on your drop ceiling tile using a pair of toggle bolts.

   

3. Run your MX202i through the ½” hole in the ceiling tile and single gang plate. Connect the 4 Pin XLR-F end of the MX202i to the 4 pin XLR-M adapter. Next, connect the XLR-F (that is ran back to the STM-1) to the XLR-M of the adapter. Use the rubber stopper to plug the ½” hole in the single gang plate.
4. Lastly, adjust the length of the cable of the microphone to your desired length, hiding the remainder in the ceiling near the STM-1. Attach the windscreen to the MX202i.
