These topics describe the Ethernet port that connects Valkyrie cameras to an Ethernet switch, and the options for mounting a Valkyrie camera.
Valkyrie grip point
Your Valkyrie camera has a grip point that enables you to pick it up and carry it without risking damage to the lens.
Caution
Do not pick up or carry the camera by the lens. Use the grip point at the top of the camera to pick up your Valkyrie camera.
Valkyrie Ethernet connection
The following image shows the camera connection on the rear panel of a Vicon Valkyrie camera for connecting to an Ethernet switch.
The following single connection point is on the rear panel:
- Gigabit Ethernet port
RJ45 socket. Held in the housing mechanism and protected by an IP65 cable cap, a Vicon-supplied Cat 6 RJ45 Ethernet cable connects the Vicon Valkyrie camera to an Ethernet switch. The cable carries power, all data communications and sync.
Caution
To ensure Valkyrie cameras remain IP65-rated, if you remove the IP65 cable cap that protects the connection between the Ethernet cable and the camera, always replace it correctly. For instructions, see Remove and replace IP65 cable cap in the Vicon Valkyrie Quick Start Guide.
Valkyrie mounting options
Both the underside and the top of the camera body contain mounting points, which have ¼" 20 UNC threaded holes. These are designed to match the common thread found on most tripod and wall mount fixing screws.
Warning
For safety and optimum performance, Vicon recommends that you use only stable tripods and wall mounts. For recommendations, contact your local Vicon office.
If you need to climb a ladder to mount your camera, always use a carry strap. For advice on this, contact Vicon Support.
