Vaddio CeilingVIEW HD HideAway Overview:
The Vaddio CeilingVIEW HD HideAway is a ceiling mounted motorized camera lift system that provides the ability
to quietly lower a Vaddio ClearVIEW HD PTZ camera from the ceiling, retract it back into the ceiling and
completely hide the camera. The CeilingVIEW HD HideAway enclosure presents a more aesthetically pleasing
solution for camera mounting when compared to exposed wall ceiling mounts. It provides a more secure mount
for the camera that helps deter tampering and camera theft and also provides meeting presenters and attendees
assurance of their privacy. They can see when the camera is retracted or hidden in the ceiling and when the
camera is no longer in use.
The CeilingVIEW HD HideAway has been designed to be installed in most suspended ceilings and attached to
the building structure. Choose any of Vaddio's WallVIEW HD-20/19/18 Short Range or DVI/HDMI Systems **.
The CeilingVIEW CCU Image Controller for CeilingVIEW HD-18 DocCAM can be used with a Vaddio HD-18 or
HD-20 Camera for the CeilingVIEW HD HideAway.
The CeilingVIEW HD HideAway Power Interface provides power, video and control over Cat. 5 cables from the
physical lift system to the head end. The motorized back box assembly, ceiling bridge mounting bracket and
ceiling trim ring offer an easy-to-install, high definition lift solution for any presentation room.
Overall, the CeilingVIEW HD HideAway is uniquely designed for applications such as classrooms, boardrooms,
conference rooms, auditoriums, videoconferencing, training facilities and distance-learning applications in which
security, assurance of privacy and aesthetics are room design requirements.
**Not compatible with Vaddio WallVIEW CCU versions or ClearVIEW "naked" versions.

Use only the power supply provided with the system. Use of any unauthorized
power supply will void any and all warranties.
Please do not use “pass-thru” type RJ-45 connectors. These pass-thru type connectors do not
work well for professional installations and can be the cause of intermittent connections which
can result in the RS-232 control line failing and locking up, and/or compromising the HSDS™
signals. For best results please use standard RJ-45 connectors and test all cables for proper
pin-outs prior to use and connection to Vaddio product.
