Connector Panel
From left to right:
n12 VDC, 3.0 A connector – EIA-J04 connector for the power supply shipped with the camera, if not
using a OneLINK extension system
nOneLINK HDBaseT connector – Connect to the network (H.264 IP streaming, web interface or Telnet
control, and PoE++ power) or a OneLINK extension system (video, power and control up to 328
ft/100m)
nHDMI connector – HDMI video output
nHD-SDI connector – HD-SDI video output
nRS-232 port – Connect to a camera controller to manage the camera using a modified VISCA protocol
nHDvideo select switch – Select the appropriate output resolution for local outputs
nDIP switches – Set IR frequency, IR on/off, image flip (camera is invertible), and baud rate
Switch Settings
RoboSHOT cameras use a rotary switch to set the video resolution and a set of DIP switches that
determine certain camera functions. A label on the bottom of the camera provides a quick reference for
setting the switches.
Note
Set the switches appropriately before mounting the camera.

Camera Settings
Use the DIP switches to set other camera behaviors.
Note
When the camera is right side up, switches are in their default positions when they are up.
IR Frequency Selection:The IR Remote Commander can control up to three cameras in the same room
independently, if they are configured with different IR frequencies. Use switches 1 and 2 to select the
frequency to identify the camera as camera 1, 2, or 3; then use the Camera Select buttons at the top of the
remote to select the camera you want to control.
IR: Leave switch 3 in the default UP position if the IR remote will be used.
Inverted operation: If mounting the camera upside-down, set switch 4 to the DOWN position: IMAGE
FLIP ON.
Baud Rate:Set the baud rate for RS-232 communication using switch 5. Most applications use 9600 bps
(switch 6 UP), which is recommended when using long cable runs. Use the 38,400 bps setting (switch 6
DOWN) for short control lines only.
Switch 6 is not currently used.
Pro Tip
Double-check switch settings before you mount the camera.

nSiting the camera
nInstalling the mount
nConnecting the camera
nInstalling the camera
Before You Install the Camera
nChoose a camera mounting location that will optimize camera performance. Consider camera viewing
angles, lighting conditions, line-of-sight obstructions, and in-wall obstructions where the camera is to be
mounted.
nIf the IR Remote Commander will be used, ensure that nothing blocks the IRlens in the camera's base.
nEnsure that the camera body can move freely and point away from the ceiling and lights.
nFollow the installation instructions included with the camera mount.
Don’t Void Your Warranty!
Caution
This product is for indoor use. Do not install it outdoors or in a humid environment without the appropriate
protective enclosure. Do not allow it to come into contact with any liquid.
Use only the power supply included with this product. Using a different one will void the warranty, and
could create unsafe operating conditions or damage the product.
Do not install or operate this product if it has been dropped, damaged, or exposed to liquids. If any of these
things happen, return it to Vaddio for safety and functional testing.
DomeVIEW enclosures are available to allow outdoor installation of RoboSHOT cameras. Learn more at
www.vaddio.com/products.
Cabling Notes
Use Cat-5e or better cable and standard RJ-45 connectors (568B termination). We recommend using high-
quality connectors and a high-quality crimping tool.
Caution
Check Cat-5 cables for continuity before using them. Using the wrong pin-out may damage the camera
system and void the warranty.
Note
Do not use pass-through RJ-45 connectors. These can cause intermittent connections
and degraded signal quality, resulting in problems that may be hard to diagnose. Use
standard RJ-45 connectors.
Pro Tip
To prevent tragic mishaps, label both ends of every cable.

Installing the Wall Mount
All RoboSHOT cameras include a Thin Profile Wall Mount. Other mounting options are available as well.
Contact us if you don't have the camera mount you need.
You can install the camera wall mount to a 2-gang wall box or directly to the drywall.
nIf you mount it to drywall, use the wall anchors provided with the wall mount.
nIf you mount it to a wall box, use the cover plate screws supplied with the wall box.
About Ceiling-Mounted Cameras
If you use an inverted mount, set the camera's Image Flip DIP switch ON for inverted operation.
See Camera Settings for more information.

Installing the Camera
Caution
Before you start, be sure you can identify all cables correctly. Connecting a cable to the wrong port can
result in equipment damage.
Caution
Check Cat-5 cables for continuity before using them. Using the wrong pin-out may damage the camera
system and void the warranty.
1. Route the cables to the camera location.
2. Route the cables through the mount, and install the mount on the wall or attach it to the wall box. Leave
the screws loose enough to adjust the position of the mount.
3. Level the mount and tighten the mounting screws.
4. Check the level again.
5. Connect the cables to the camera.
Caution:
Use the power supply shipped with the camera. Using a different power supply may create an unsafe
operating condition or damage the camera, and will void the warranty.
6. Ensure that the video resolution switch and the DIP switches are set appropriately. See Switch
Settings.
7. Place the camera on the mount.
8. Attach the camera to the mount using the ¼”-20 x .375 mounting screw supplied with the camera.
