3) Driver Installation
1) Run the “install.bat” found in the driver folder. The driver files will then be copied into
the C:\WINDOWS\INF and the C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS directories. If
your windows installation is not in C:\WINDOWS, then the “install.bat” file should be
modified with the correct windows location.
2) Or you may install the files manually by:
1. Copying all *.inf file into WINDOWS/INF folder
2. Copying all *.sys file into WINDOWS/SYSTEM32/DRIVERS folder
3) Connect the USB cable from camera to computer only. You do not need the 9-pin power
supply cable connected. The computer will respond with “New hardware found”.
Follow the steps shown on the screen to complete the installation.
4) Cable connection sequence
To help protect the camera from power surges or electrical spikes, we recommend the following
sequence:
1) USB cable first, 9pin power cable second, 12V supply last.
Or:
2) 9pin cable first, 12V supply, USB cable last.
Try and avoid the following methods of connection:
1) Anytime when the DC102 is powered (12V supply), avoid “Hot plugging” of the 9pin cable.
2) Connecting the USB cable while 9pin cable is connected without 12V supply on, computer may
not find the camera.
Orientation of the 9pin cable:
The 9pin cable has one end with a EMC ring. This end should be connected closest to the DC102.
5) DC201 Input voltage requirement
DC201 requires a regulated 12V input . When using an external battery, it may exceed 13V.
The high voltage may reduce the life of TEC (Thermal Electric Cooler). If forced to use an
external battery, then please avoid using Maximum cooling settings. A good setting would be at
75% to 80% cooling power.
