Introduction

The Honeywell HCS544 Day/Night Color Camera 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 a high

quality picture in low-light conditions

• Digital noise reduction (DNR) minimizes video noise in

low light

• 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

HCS544 Day/Night camera. Keep this guide for future

reference.

Unpack Everything

order form and packing slip. The HCS544 packing box

should include, in addition to this user guide, one HCS544

camera.

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).

The back focus adjustment is accessible at the front end of

the camera housing to adjust the back focal length or

picture focus.

2. Adjust the focus ring to focus the picture.

3. Retighten the setscrew.

Connecting Monitor and Power

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.

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.

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 in your field of view; that is, until you see a

clear image. If necessary, adjust the brightness using the

OSD menu controls (see ”LENS DC/Brightness’ - DC/

BRIGHTNESS or ”AGC (Automatic Gain Control) DC/Brightness’ on

page 12). Confirm the exposure on the monitor screen.

Programming

Use the OSD (On-Screen Display) to program the camera.
