Ta b l e 2-1 Installing the IP Camera
Action Explanation
Step 1
Attach a lens to the lens opening on the IP camera. • If you are using a CS mount lens, screw the lens into
the lens opening. The IP camera accepts CS-mount
lenses with a lens protrusion of up to 5 mm.
• If you are using a C mount lens, screw the C mount
lens adapter that is supplied with the IP camera into
the lens opening, then screw the lens into the adapter.
Ensure that the lens is clean because any dirt may degrade
the quality of video images.
Note Save the lens opening dust cap and replace the dust
cap if you remove the lens.
Step 2
If you are using a DC auto iris lens, connect its cable to
the DC auto iris lens connector on the IP camera.
For best performance, Cisco recommends that you use a
DC auto iris lens.
