3. Mounting Cameras
3.1 Maximising Camera Effectiveness
To maximise the effectiveness of your surveillance cameras, follow these guidelines for camera mounting.
•
Avoid pointing cameras directly at light sources.
•
Consider how the sunlight changes during the day.
Mount your camera where sunlight has minimum
impact.
•
Avoid pointing cameras directly in front of large
objects. When infrared turns on in at night or in
low-light, it may be reflected back into the camera,
resulting in an over-bright image.
•
Consider your local and state laws before installing
your cameras. This may affect where you point
your surveillance cameras.
3.2 Mounting Surveillance Cameras
Following the guidelines outlined in Fig. 3.1 (right),
mount your surveillance cameras.
1. Loosen the camera mount assembly by adjusting
the locking screw with the included wrench.
2. Mark the screw position on the mounting surface.
3. Drill mounting holes for the self tapping screws.
4. Drill a larger hole so the camera cable may pass
through the mounting surface.
5. Connect camera power/video cable, ensuring your
camera is sealed away from rain and dust.
6. Affix the camera to the mounting surface using the
supplier screws and wall plugs.
7. Reassemble the dome camera, loosely locking the
enclosure using the locking screw and wrench.
8. Connect the camera power/video cable back to the
DVR and view the video feed.
9. Adjust your camera to the desired position.
10. Tighten the locking screw to complete mounting.
NOTE: Dome cameras feature tri-axis adjustment and
can be rotated and tilted in any direction to suit your
installation needs. Simply loosen the locking screw to
adjust your camera's position (Fig. 3.2).

•
Avoid direct exposure to weather. If possible, mount
under an eave or awning.
•
Ensure the mounting surface thickness can support
triple the weight of the camera.
•
Do not mount the camera behind a window as
this can reduce performance and usability of
surveillance in both day & night images.
•
Light levels should be approximately the same
between the camera and the targeted area.
•
Do not place near high voltage wires or other
sources of electrical interference.
