Packing contents:

 The box for the HD77 camera includes the HD77 camera and quick-start 

guide.

The following chart describes the HD77 installation workflow.

Wiring

Wire the HD77 camera with either a CAT5e cable for both 4-wire Combus and Ethernet, or 
with two separate cables, one cable for the 4-wire Combus, the other cable for the Ethernet.

Wiring the HD77 Camera with a CAT5e Cable

Wire the HD77 camera with a single CAT5e or higher cable including two twisted pairs for 
the 4-wire Combus and two twisted pairs for the Ethernet lines as displayed below. The 
maximum CAT5e cable length is 50 meters.

 Figure 1 – HD77 Camera - CAT5e Cable Wiring

The following table displays Cat 5e cable wiring connectivity.

Wiring the HD77 Camera with Dual Cables

Wire the 4-wire Combus cable (A) to the EVOHD control panel and the Ethernet cable (B) to 
the Ethernet router or switch as displayed below. 

 Figure 2 – HD77 Camera - Dual Cable Wiring

The following table displays dual cable wiring connectivity.

Mounting

Mount the HD77 camera directly to the wall or on a swivel bracket attached to the wall. 

Mounting Requirements

Mount the HD77 camera on the wall at a height of 2.1m - 2.7m (7ft - 9ft), with a minimum 
gap of 2cm (~1 in) from the ceiling (to open/close the cover)

Warnings

Do not 

install the HD77 camera:

• Near objects causing environmental temperature changes such as heaters, 

refrigerators and ovens

• In the path of air flow from air conditioning / heating vents, fans or windows

• In the path of reflective surfaces, direct sunlight or infrared light

• Where exposed to oil vapors or steam

Do not touch the sensor surface or the camera lens as this could result in detector 
malfunction

Mounting the HD77 Camera on Wall or Corner

1.

Remove the front cover:

a. Open the lock at the bottom of the HD77 camera with a screwdriver.

b. Pry the cover apart from the back plate starting from the bottom.

2.

Insert the cable/s through the wiring slot in the back plate.

3.

Knock-out the mounting holes in the backplate. 

 Figure 3 – HD77 Camera Back Plate

4.

Secure the backplate to the wall with a screw through each knock-out hole 
including through the anti-tamper spacer.

Note:

Use wall anchors if required.

5.

Connect the wires to the terminal board on the HD77 camera back plate.

6.

Attach the front cover to the back plate (do not lock).

Note:

Record the serial number found on the inner side of the front cover.

7.

Connect the wires to the EVOHD panel and router (if not already connected).

8.

Power-up the system. The LED3 indicator flashes blue until the boot-up process is 
complete (boot-up can take up to 3 minutes).

9.

Close the lock (The installer diagnostic LEDs switch- off ).

10. Verify the HD77 camera vision / image / angle positioning and functionality:

a. Open the BabyWare application (download, install and program BabyWare 

before verifying HD77 camera functionality - see 

Programming the HD77 

Camera

 below).

b. Navigate to the 

Programming 

page => Video tab => Play button.

Ensure that the HD77 camera vision / image / angle is positioned and 
functioning.

Mounting the HD77 Camera with a Swivel 
Bracket

The following diagram describes the Swivel Bracket and mounting procedure.

 Figure 4 – Mounting HD77 Camera with Swivel Brackets

The following table describes the swivel bracket mounting components

.

1.

Run the cable(s) (2) through the wall plate (1). Secure the wall plate to the wall.

Note:

The top of the wall plate must be at least 3” (8cm) from the ceiling.

2.

Run the cable through the bottom of the swivel hinge housing (3), swivel hinge (4), 
and adapter plate (5). 

3.

Attach the swivel housing to the swivel hinge - ensure that it clicks closed.

4.

Secure the swivel housing to the wall plate-snap the bracket assembly to the wall by 
placing it on top of the wall plate and sliding it down until it locks. 

5.

Determine the HD77 camera angle of view and secure the angle by attaching the 
angle bracket (6) to the adaptor plate and inserting a pan head screw #6-32 through 
the angle bracket and adaptor plate and attaching them to the swivel hinge.

6.

Mount the HD77 camera back panel (7) to the swivel bracket with a screw through 
each knock out hole and through the anti-tamper spacer (see figure 3).

Note:

Use wall anchors if required.

7.

Execute steps 5-10 of 

Mounting the HD77 Camera on Wall or Corner

 (see above).
