Mounting The Cameras - Night Owl CM-IH8-BA User Manual

Cameras, additional cables, power adapters and splitters only included in certain security kits.
Check the product packaging for detailed kit contents. Make sure all cameras are working prior to
mounting by connecting them as described in the section above. Once all cameras are confirmed
to be fully operational, you can run the cables and mount the cameras at their final locations.

4.2 Mounting the Cameras

Camera distance from NVR.
The further the camera is from the NVR or monitor, the higher the chances of signal degradation. The
camera's power supply should be located as near to the camera as possible when the distance exceeds
200 ft. as the power level will drop over extended distances resulting in video degradation.
Do NOT place near high voltage wires or other sources of electrical interference.
Electrical interference will degrade the quality of the signal.
Place camera out of reach to avoid vandalism.
Avoid direct exposure to weather.
Do not place the camera where rain or snow will hit the lens directly nor should the camera be placed
so that the sun or bright light shines directly into the lens. Your camera is weatherproof, but it will not
work when submerged in water. Ensure that all power and video connections are not directly exposed
to water and are protected from the elements.
Mounting surface.
The mounting surface must hold at least four times the camera's total weight.
Connect all cameras locally before final placement to ensure that all
components function properly.
