Pre-Installation:
• Before starting the installation of the DomeVIEW HD 12” Indoor Pendant Mount Dome Enclosure, please read
this manual. There are several things to consider before mounting a dome.
• When locating the dome, consider camera and subject matter viewing angles, lighting conditions, possible
line of site obstructions and check for construction challenges where the camera is to be mounted. Pick a
mounting location to optimize the performance of the camera. Avoid locating lighting elements or direct
sunlight.
• Vaddio HD-20, HD-19 and HD-18 PTZ cameras use Cat-5e cable for video power and control. When
terminating the Cat-5e cabling, please make sure that each cable is marked and tested for proper termination
of all ends with a continuity tester. Please do not use the “pass -thru” type RJ-45 connectors.
• All work must conform to local building codes and should be performed by qualified
personnel. For the most obvious reasons, a ladder is required to install the
DomeVIEW HD Enclosure. Safety comes first, so please use safe tools, ladders and
installation practices.
• Always measure twice, and check your work, then cut once.
STEP-BY-STEP Installation Instructions:
Step 1:
It is easiest to mount the dome on the 1.5” NPT pipe mount or wall mount and then install the contents of the
dome to avoid cabling problems as the dome is spun onto the pipe mount. Rotate the dome counter-clock wise
until threads are fully engaged.
Note:
The camera and contents can also be installed on the ground, but extra care must be taken with the cables
when the dome is spun onto the 1.5” NPT pipe threads - Installer’s preference.
Step 2:
Loosen the two (2) 10-32 x .375” screws on the Universal Platform that are key-holed and fully remove one (1) 10-
32 x .375” screw from the camera platform. Slide the two loosened screws through the keyholes and remove the
platform.
Step 4:
Pull the camera’s Cat-5e cabling through the 1.5” NPT pipe at this time.
Step 5:
Using the provided ¼”-20 x 5/8 screws, attach the HD-18 or HD-19 camera to the camera platform.
NOTE:
If using the HD-20 camera, take the thee (3) .75” long 10-32 threaded M to F .5” Hex stand-off extensions
and attach them to the Three (3) 2.5” long 10-32 threaded F to F .5” Hex stand-offs in the bottom of the can.
Tighten the hex stand-offs firmly with a socket or nut driver. Attach the HD-20 camera with the provided ¼”-20 x
3/8”
screws to the Universal Camera Platform. The HD-20 is about ¾” shorter than the HD-18 and HD-19 and
needs this small boost.
Step 6
Set the camera dip and rotary switches (functions and video resolutions prior to installing it in the dome). Re-install
the Universal Mounting Platform inside the dome with the camera attached. Slip the keyholes over the screws in
the stand-offs and tighten down all three platform screws Connect the Cat-5e cables according to the manual
that was included with the camera package purchased, making sure the cables are tucked up behind the
mounting plate to avoid interference with the PTZ camera movement.
Step 7:
Once the camera is installed in the dome, pull the cable slack back through the pendant extension pipe or curved
wall mount. .
