how to install Hanwha Techwin Built-in SFP Install Base for PTZ Cameras

• Prepare the system and safety steps: Power down the camera, associated power supplies, and the network equipment connected to the PTZ camera. Ensure you are following site safety protocols and that the installation area is clean, dry, and accessible. Disconnect any external cables that could be damaged during mounting and handling.
• Remove or loosen the existing base as needed: If your PTZ camera is currently mounted with a separate base, carefully detach the camera from its mounting surface and remove the existing base per the manufacturer’s instructions. Keep all mounting hardware organized for reassembly. If you’re installing on a new camera, skip to the mounting alignment step.
• Attach the built-in SFP base to the camera: Align the install base with the camera’s mounting interface, ensuring that the SFP opening and fiber routing channels line up with the camera’s chassis and mounting points. Secure the base using the recommended screws or hardware, tightening to the specified torque to avoid misalignment or stress on connectors.
• Install the SFP transceiver and route fiber: Insert a compatible SFP module into the built-in base following the manufacturer’s guidelines. Connect the fiber cable to the SFP transceiver, carefully routing it through the base’s integrated channels to minimize bending radius and protect the connector. Ensure the fiber path is clear of obstructions and that the cable strain relief is properly engaged.
• Reassemble, power up, and verify: Reattach the camera to its mounting point and restore power. Verify link status, bandwidth performance, and video quality. If available, perform a network test to confirm that the fiber link is delivering the expected throughput and that control commands respond promptly. Document the installation for maintenance records.
