Installing Cameras
Before you install the camera, carefully plan where and how it will be positioned, and where you
will route the cable that connects the camera to the DVR or observation system.
Installation Warning
• Select a location for the camera that provides a clear view of the area you want to monitor, which
is free from dust, and is not in line-of-sight to a strong light source or direct sunlight.
• Plan the cables' route so that it is not close to power or telephone lines, transformers, microwave
ovens or other electrical equipment that could interfere with the DVR.
• Select a location for the camera that has an ambient temperature between 14°F~113°F
(-10°C~45°C).
• If you plan to install the camera in a location that has conditions not recommended in this manual,
consult with a professional installer and consider use of a separate camera cover or housing.
• Before starting permanent installation, have another person hold the camera for you while you
verify its performance by observing the image on a monitor.
Assembling the Camera Stand
To assemble the camera stand:
1. Attach the pedestal to the ceiling, wall,
or other surface by the base using the
provided screws.
2. Attach the camera to the pedestal.
Adjust the angle of the camera, and
tighten the thumbscrew to set the
position.
Note: You can attach the camera to the
stand using the screw point on the top or
the bottom of the camera (to maintain
proper camera alignment). This prevents
the image from becoming inverted.
