Introduction

The Honeywell HCD544 Day/Night Color Camera (HCD544)

is designed for general surveillance applications and is

ideally suited for low-light indoor environments. An intuitive

menu and Graphical User Interface (GUI) helps you quickly

set up the camera to ensure the best picture quality for your

unique environment. It requires little or no adjustment after

initial installation.

Features

• High resolution 540 TVL 1/3” CCD provides crisp, clear

images, even in low-light conditions

• Minimum illumination of 0.5 lux color/0.25 lux black/

white @ 50 IRE, f1.2

• Automatic day/night switching with adjustable threshold

level control

• 12 VDC or 24 VAC operation

Before You Begin

Please read this guide carefully before you install the

HCD544 camera.

Unpacking Everything

Check that the items received match those listed on the

order form and packing slip. The HCD544 packing box

should include, in addition to this user guide, one HCD544

camera, and an accessory package (5-pin power and LAMP

connector and a lens connector).

If any parts are missing or damaged, contact the dealer you

purchased the camera from or call Honeywell Customer

Service (see the back of this guide for contact information).

Note You will also require a Phillips screwdriver and a

flathead screwdriver to complete the installation.

Installation

Installing the Lens

lens. Figure 1 demonstrates how to attach a customer

supplied lens. Screw the lens !into the front of the camera

body ". An IR corrected Day/Night lens is recommended

for this camera.

Connecting the Camera

Note Check the power source from the external power

supply before applying power to the camera.

1. Connect the VIDEO connector on the rear of the camera

to the video-in connector on your monitor.

2. Connect the camera to a 12 VDC or 24 VAC power

supply (appropriate to your installation). Use a

screwdriver to first loosen the ~AC24V/DC12V terminal

screws on the terminal block.

Figure 3 Video Connections

Note To ease installation, the terminal block can be

removed. The power connections of the removable

terminal block are not polarity-sensitive. Connect

either power lead to either connector terminal.

3. Secure the power leads by retightening the terminal

screws until snug.

4. Plug the power supply into an appropriate power

source. The power LED illuminates to show that the

camera is receiving power. If it does not illuminate,

check the removable terminal block connections and

the power source.

Connecting LAMP Contact

The HCD544 camera is equipped with LAMP and GND

external contact terminals. When the LAMP terminal is

connected to the GND terminal, the camera is forced into

night mode (see page 15). It stays in night mode until the

LAMP terminal is disconnected from the GND terminal.

Adjusting The Back Focus

To adjust the back focus, aim the camera towards a darker

area, or use a Neutral Density lens filter. For best results,

there should be a minimum of 15 ft (4.5 m) between the

camera and the target focal area.

1. Loosen the setscrews with a Phillips screwdriver.

2. Set the Zoom lens adjustment to Wide and the Focus

lens adjustment to Near.

3. Adjust the back focus ring to focus the picture.

4. Retighten the setscrews.

Mounting the Camera

Mounting points are provided on the top and bottom of the

camera and are used to mount the camera on a bracket or

tripod. They are designed to accept standard sized

mounting bolts. The mounting bracket must be capable of

supporting the weight of the camera and its lens.

Caution Some installation codes dictate that the

mounting bracket must be capable of

supporting up to four times the combined weight

of the camera and lens.

Making Final Adjustments

Adjust the focus for your desired field of view; that is, until

you see a clear image. If necessary, adjust the brightness

using the OSD menu controls (see LENS on page 13 or AGC

(Automatic Gain Control) on page 13). Confirm the exposure

on the monitor screen.
