Installation Instructions

Drop Ceiling Mount

NOTICE: The combined weight of the camera and mounting bracket is approximately 1.7 kg (3.7 lb.). Make sure that the ceiling material is strong enough to support this weight. The ceiling tile should be 5–60mm (0.2–2.4in.) thick.

  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. If the switch does not have POE, a POE injector will need to be installed at the network closet.
  2. Remove the ceiling tile in which the drop ceiling mount is to be fitted.
  3. Drill a 7 mm (9/32 in) hole in the ceiling tile.
  4. Drill about a 1" hole where the cables will be threaded through into the ceiling.
  5. Remove the tripod screw from the mounting bracket.
  6. Attach the short end of the threaded rod to the camera and tighten.
  7. Assemble the camera, ceiling tile and the mounting bracket, and tighten the nut.
  8. Route and connect all cables to the camera (network, audio, power, possible HDMI, possible I/O cable).
  9. Connect the power supply to a mains power outlet (100–240 VAC).
  10. Install the ceiling tile with the camera mounted on it.

Wall Mount

  1. Use a stud finder to locate wall studs, and determine proper placement for the L bracket. Make a mark for the 3 screw holes on the short end of the L bracket, and the area to fish the cables (We will be using 3/16" wall screws and anchors here).
  2. Drill these holes for the anchors, and use a walldozer to drill a hole to fish the cables.
  3. Place the anchors, screw the bracket down, and fish our cables (power, network, 3.5mm audio, possible 22/2 for I/O, and possible HDMI cables) down the ceiling through the hole under our bracket.
  4. Place the V59 onto the bracket, and secure it with the tripod screw from underneath.
  5. Route and connect all cables to the camera (network, audio, power, possible HDMI, possible I/O cable).

Connecting the Microphone

  1. Since the V59 series does not have an I/O terminal block, two separate 22/2 cables will be needed. One for audio and one for power.
  2. Strip the jacket off the 22/2, revealing the red, black, and common (bare wire) on both sides of the cable. 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)

  3. Drill a hole into the piece of ceiling tile that the Louroe Verifact-A will be mounted to. Feed one end of the the 22/2 audio cables through the hole. Connect the audio cables to the Verifact-A Phoenix terminal as follows; AUDIO: Red to B, Black to C, POWER: Red to A, Black to C. Using Toggle bolts, secure the Verifact-A to the drop ceiling tile.
  4. At the camera, the audio line will be ran to the 3.5mm (cut at approx. 12") “AUDIO IN” on the Axis V5914/V5915 (See Picture). The power line will be ran and connected to a 12V DC power supply. Use a meter to check line continuity and connect with B connectors.
