Installation Basics:
The WallVIEW CCU HD-20 camera was specifically designed for installation on a vertical wall surface with Cat-5e
cable connectivity for Video, Power and Control signaling (three Cat-5e cables are required). Installation is
simplified in that no custom 8-Pin mini-din cables or expensive plenum coax cables are needed and no power
outlets are required near the camera bracket. All cabling is routed to the head-end using Cat-5e cables. “Pass-
thru” type RJ-45 connectors should never be used (see notice on page 3 and comments below).
Before Installing:
Locate the camera mounting location paying close attention to camera viewing angles, lighting conditions,
possible line of site obstructions, and checking for in-wall obstructions where the camera is to be mounted.
Pick a mounting location that will optimize the performance of the camera.
The CONCEAL Wall Mounting System for the WallVIEW HD-20 can be mounted directly to a 2-gang wall box
or can be mounted to the drywall using the supplied four (4) drywall anchors.
Pre-wire all cabling as required, test and mark the cables POWER, VIDEO and CONTROL. Do not guess at
the cable’s function and try the “process of elimination method” and plug the POWER cable into all the RJ-45
jacks to see which one cable powers the camera. In all likelihood, this method will cause damage to your
system and your warranty will be voided.
RS-232 Cabling:
For RS-232, use a standard straight through RJ-45 connectors (568B termination) from the RS-232 port on
the back of a Vaddio camera controller or switcher to the camera. If the camera is connected to a third-party
control system (such as AMX or Crestron), a DB-9 to RJ-45 control adapter cable is supplied.
Please do not use “pass-thru” type RJ-45 connectors. The Vaddio Cat-5e wiring standard
uses pins 7 and 8 on both the video and the control Cat-5e cables. The pass-through
connectors have proven to provide insufficient connectivity for these important signals.
They are “ok” for voice and data, but not for video and control.
Videoconferencing Codecs and RS-232:
Depending on the videoconferencing codec and RS-232 port used, special DB-9 to RJ-45 adapters may
sometimes be required. Refer to Vaddio’s price list or website for part numbers and codec compatibilities.
Any special adapters and configuration information will be noted.
When using a videoconferencing system, remember to always power up the cameras before booting
up the codec.
Another Note about the IR OUT Dip Switch 4:
When operating the HD-20 camera with the Quick-Connect CCU, the IR OUT dip switch must be
set to the OFF (up) position on the back of the camera. If it is not turned off, it can/will interfere
with proper operation of the HD-20 PTZ camera. This would be, not so good, so please turn the
IR OUT switch OFF.
