Installation Instructions
- 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 providing High POE (requires up to 37W for PTZ functions). If the switch does not have High POE, a POE injector will need to be installed at the network closet.
- Using a stud finder, ensure there aren’t any studs where the camera will be omunted. Remove the P5414/P5415 camera from its base with the T20 bit. Using a small Phillips head screwdriver, remove the plastic ring around the base of the camera dome. Then, using the T10 bit, remove the camera dome and remove the protective foam. Reattach the dome and snap the plastic ring back into place.
- While holding the camera base plate where it will be mounted, use a pencil to mark the 4 areas on the wall where the screws will be located. Also mark the opening where the any cabling would pass through (see image below).
- Using the drill bit, drill the 4 screw marks and insert mounting anchors. Using the hole saw (recommended size 2” inches or less), drill a hole into the area where cables will pass through.
- 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.
- Using glow rods 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.
- 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 the network drop and any other cabling through this hole.
Connecting the microphone
- Begin by cutting two lengths of 22/2 cable. With one piece of 22/2, connect one cable with Red wire going to terminal A on the microphone and Bare wire going to terminal C, and then take the second 22/2 cable, and connect Black wire to terminal B and Bare wire to terminal C on microphone.
- Take the 22/2 cable coming from the microphone with only the Red and Bare wire. Connect the Bare wire into IO port 1 and the Red wire to IO port 2 on the IO Phoenix connector.
- Take the 22/2 cable coming from the microphone with only the Black and Bare wire. Connect the Black wire into the positive terminal and the Bare wire into the negative terminal on the audio connector.
- Take both connectors and plug them into the camera.
