Installing the Camera
ATTENTION
- Ensure the camera is working correctly prior to
permanent installation by temporarily connecting the camera(s) and
cable(s) to the DVR.
Before installing the camera:
• Decide whether to run the cables
through the wall / ceiling (drilling
required) or along the wall / ceiling.
• If you run the cables along the wall
/ ceiling, you must run the cable
through the cable notch on the base.
This will keep the camera base flush
to the wall / ceiling when mounted.
To install the camera:
1. Rotate the camera base counterclockwise to separate it
from the ball camera and dome cover.
2. Use the included mounting template to mark and drill
holes for the included mounting screws.
3. Feed the cable through the camera base. If you are
running the cables against a wall or ceiling, make sure
to pass the cable through the cable notch as shown
above.
4. Connect the cables as shown in the section 'Connecting
the Camera'.
5. Mount the camera base to the mounting surface using the
included screws and drywall anchors (optional)
6. Place the adjustment ring over the dome cover, then place
both over the ball camera. Twist the adjustment ring
clockwise halfway onto the camera base. Do not tighten
all the way.
7. Move the ball camera to the desired position. While
holding the ball camera firmly in place, twist the
adjustment ring the rest of the way to secure it to the
camera base. Holding the camera prevents it from moving
while securing the adjustment ring.
ATTENTION
- This camera includes an Auto Mechanical IR Cut Filter.
When the camera changes between Day/Night viewing modes, an
audible clicking noise may be heard from the camera. This clicking is
normal, and indicates that the camera filter is working.
