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  
Check that the items received match those listed on the  
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).  
Note  
You will also require a Phillips screwdriver and a  
flathead screwdriver to complete the installation.

Adjusting the Flange Back Focus  
The back focus adjustment is accessible at the front end of  
the camera housing to adjust the back focal length or  
picture focus.  
1. Loosen the setscrews with a Phillips screwdriver.  
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/  
page 12). Confirm the exposure on the monitor screen.
