The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Warning Installation of the equipment must comply with local and national electrical codes. Statement 1074
Warning The power supply must be placed indoors. Statement 331
Note If you use the IP camera outdoors, place the camera and the power supply in a suitable NEMA enclosure.
Warning This product must be connected to a power-over-ethernet (PoE) IEEE 802.3af compliant power source or an IEC60950 compliant limited power source. Statement 353
Note The power adapter that you use with the IP camera must provide power that is within +/–10% of the required power.
Note The equipment is to be connected to a Listed class 2, limited power source.
To install the Cisco Video Surveillance 6500PD IP Camera, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Turn the lens clockwise into the lens opening until it stops (see Figure 2-1). If necessary, turn it counterclockwise slowly until it gets the best attitude. The IP camera accepts CS-mount lenses with a lens protrusion of up to 5 mm.
Figure 2-1 Mounting the IP Camera Lens
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 Connect the P-iris lens cable to the P-iris lens connector on the back of the IP camera (see Figure 2-2).
Figure 2-2 Mounting the IP Camera Lens
Step 3 Optional. Use the GPIO terminal block ports on the back of the IP camera to connect an external device that triggers alarms (connect through input port) or responds to alarms (connect through output port). Figure 2-3 shows the GPIO terminal block pin locations and descriptions.

Step 4 Connect an STP (shielded twisted pair) Category 5 or higher network cable to the LAN port on the back of the camera and to a 10/100/BaseT router or switch.
If your network provides PoE, the IP camera powers on. Skip to Step 6.
Step 5 If you are using the IP camera on a network connection that does not provide PoE, connect a 12 VDC power adapter to the camera using the provided power connector.
Step 6 Wait for the camera to boot and check the LEDs on the IP camera.
Step 7 Mount the IP camera in the desired location.
Connect the mounting device to the threaded mounting hole on the bottom or top of the IP camera, depending on your installation requirement.
Step 8 Optional. Use mini cable with BNC connector to temporarily attach an NTSC or PAL compliant analog video display device to the analog video out port on the rear of the camera and adjust the IP camera field of view.
Note The mini cable with BNC adapter is included in the audio/video cables accessory kit, which you can purchase from Cisco (Cisco part number CIVS-IPCA-1021= ).
Analog video is enabled by default to allow you to adjust the camera field of view during installation. However, it is not supported as a normal camera feed and is automatically disabled when any of the following camera settings are made:
Note We recommend that you disable analog video after installation. To disable analog video, see the Cisco Video Surveillance 6000 Series IP Camera Configuration Guide.
After you install the IP camera, follow the instructions in Chapter 3, “Performing the Initial Setup of the IP Camera” to access and configure the camera.
