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 NVR.
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. Use the included mounting template to mark holes
for the screws. Drill holes for the mounting screws.
NOTE: Insert the included drywall anchors if you
are installing the camera in drywall.
2. Loosen the 3 cover screws and then lift the cover
away from the camera.
3. Mount the camera to the wall using the included
mounting screws.
