Installation Tips
• Point the camera where there is the least amount of obstructions
(i.e., tree branches).
• Install the camera where vandals cannot easily reach.
• This camera is rated for outdoor use. Installation in a sheltered location is recommended.
Using the RJ45 Cable Gland (Optional)
The RJ45 cable gland covers the camera's Ethernet
connector and the RJ45 plug to provide weather-resistance
and protection from dust, dirt and other environmental
contaminants.
The RJ45 cable gland is pre-attached to the included
Ethernet extension cable.
To use the RJ45 cable gland:
Twist the RJ45 cable gland barrel securely onto the
camera Ethernet connector.
NOTE: The RJ45 cable gland is weather-resistant. Seal
the cap with silicone and/or electrical tape for additional
sealing if it will be exposed to precipitation regularly.

Installing the Camera
Test your camera prior to selecting a permanent mounting location by temporarily connecting the camera and cable
to your NVR.
The camera includes a ceiling mount/table top stand and a wall mount. The ceiling
mount/table top stand may come pre-attached with the camera depending on the
camera configuration. Follow the appropriate installation instructions below:
• Decide whether to run the cables through the wall (drilling
required) or along the wall.
• (Optional) If you run the cables along the wall, use the
included cable guides with the cable guide screws and
optional drywall anchors as needed (see Figure 1).
Ceiling mount / table top stand installation:
For ceiling installation:
NOTES:
• You may choose to use the included wall mount for ceiling installation. Using the wall
mount for ceiling installation will provide more side-to-side angle adjustment but has
limited up/down adjustment. Prior to installation, ensure you test the camera view to
see which installation is the most appropriate based on your desired camera viewing
area. See "Wall mount installation" for more information.
• If the camera comes pre-attached with the ceiling mount/table top stand, detach it
from the camera.
1. Remove the pre-inserted silicon plugs (4×) from the base (see
Figure 2).
2. Set the ceiling mount in the desired mounting position and mark
holes for screws and cables through the mounting base (or use
the included mounting template).
NOTE: Adjusting the angle of the camera is limited with this
installation. Ensure you angle the ceiling mount towards the
desired viewing area.
3. Drill holes where marked. If required, insert the included drywall anchors (4×).
4. Mount the ceiling mount to the mounting surface using the provided screws (4×).
Make sure all screws are fastened tightly.
5. With the adjustment ring securely fastened to the
bolt on the ceiling mount, screw the camera onto
the ceiling mount (see Figure 3).
6. Twist the camera onto the ceiling mount until the
camera is level, then tighten the adjustment ring.
7. Angle the camera up-and-down as needed. Remove the
pre-inserted silicon plug on the side of the ceiling mount
and tighten the screw using a Phillips screwdriver. Replace
the silicon plug (see Figure 4).
8. Feed the camera cable through the cable opening on the ceiling mount base and
the mounting surface or run the cables along the wall.
9. Connect cables as shown in the section "Connecting the Camera".
For table top:
1. With the adjustment ring securely fastened to the
bolt on the table top stand, screw the camera onto
the table top stand (see Figure 5).
NOTE:
Skip this step if your camera has the ceiling
mount/table top stand pre-attached.
2. Connect cables as shown in the section "Connecting
the Camera".

Wall mount installation:

Decide whether to run the cables through the wall (drilling required) or along the wall.
Select one of the installation methods below based on cable run method.
NOTE: If the camera comes pre-attached with the ceiling mount/table top stand,
unscrew the camera from the ceiling mount/table top stand before following the steps
below.
