Installing the Camera
ATTENTION
- Test the camera prior to selecting a permanent mounting
location by temporarily connecting the camera(s) and cables to the DVR.
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. Rotate the camera base counterclockwise to separate it
from the ball camera and dome cover.
2. Feed the BNC / power cable through the camera
base. If you are running the cables against a wall or
ceiling, make sure to pass the cable through the cable
notch as shown above.
3. Connect the video and power cable as shown in the
section 'Connecting the Camera'.
4. Mount the camera base to the mounting surface using
the included screws and drywall anchors (optional).
5. Position the dome cover over the camera and screw it
clockwise halfway onto the camera base.
6. Move the ball camera to the desired position. While
holding the ball camera firmly in place, screw the
dome cover the rest of the way to secure it to the
camera base. Holding the camera prevents it from
moving while installing the dome cover.

1. The extension cable must be a single stretch of cable between the DVR and
camera. You cannot connect multiple extension cables to each other.
2. For cable runs above 300ft / 92m (option 3), you must connect the power
adapter directly to the camera, rather than at the end of the extension
cable.
3. Indicators that your cable run may be too long:
• Video is permanently black & white (even during day time)
• Video is unclear, soft, or distorted
