Mounting And Installing - Swann MWABCAM150514T Instruction Manual

Mounting and Installing

The camera mounts onto a flat, vertical surface using screws. The surface must have
sufficient strength to hold the camera. Materials such as hardwood, brick or masonry
are good options, and we've included all the gear you'll need to mount it there (except
the tools - sorry, you'll still need your own drill). You can mount the camera onto a metal
surface, but you'll need to supply your own mounting hardware.
To mount the camera:
• Using the holes on the camera stand as a guide, mark the locations on your wall to
drill. Make sure the wall is thick and strong enough that you won't drill through it.
• If the wall is masonry, brickwork or similar, use the provided wall plugs. If the wall is
made of wood, then the camera can be screwed directly onto the wall.
• Ensure that the cable is protected from the weather. The camera is weatherproof,
but the cable (particularly the power and video-out plugs) is not.
• Once the camera has been mounted, ensure that it is securely fixed in place. The
camera is vandal resistant, but that won't help if an intruder can remove the whole
camera!
Positioning your Cables
• When running your cable, try to avoid bending it at sharp angles.
• Don't put your cable near live electrical wiring. AC electricity generates radio "noise"
which can interfere with the signal from your camera.
Weatherproofing
• The PRO-CAM is built to be weather resistant. It'll stand up to getting wet but it's not
intended to be underwater all the time. When mounting the camera, ensure that it's
not in a location where water is likely to pool or build up over time.
• Long term exposure to direct sunlight will adversely affect the camera. Over time,
the infrared and ultraviolet radiation will eventually begin to degrade the integrity of
the plastic cover, reducing transparency and making it brittle (and, therefore, more
vulerable to vandalism or accidental damage). Basically, put it in the shade!
