Step 1. Mounting the camera
A R8VTHS camera can be mounted directly to a wall or ceiling. The surface should support at least three
times the weight of the camera. The drop cables of this camera are normally routed through mounting
surface.
1.
Acquire the kind of fasteners that will work best for mounting the camera to the ceiling or wall. The
mounting hardware provided with the camera will work well with many types of surfaces.
2.
Remove the trim ring:
a.
Inspect the mounting side of the mounting plate to see how the trim ring locks onto it.
b.
Set the camera mounting plate down.
c.
Rotate the trim ring to the right about 15° counterclockwise, and then lift it off.
3.
Using the camera or the template provided, mark the locations of the mounting screw holes, and a
3/4" hole for the drop cables. Drill holes in the surface of the mounting location to accommodate the
camera fasteners and the drop cables.
4.
Route the video and 12 Vdc power extension cables from recorder and power source to the camera
mounting location and out through the hole drilled for the camera drop cables.
5.
Connect the video and power extension cables to the camera drop cables. Verify that the 12 Vdc
power cable connector polarity matches the polarity of the power drop cable.
Drop cable connectors are not waterproof. Failure of the power or video
!
drop cable connector due to moisture or another contaminant is considered an
WARNING
installation error, which voids the warranty. Seal all connectors adequately.
6.
Set the HD format configuration switches on the drop cable for the video encoding you prefer to use.
See the photo on Drop cable photo on page 1 of this guide.
7.
Route the drop cable through the hole in the mounting surface, then attach the camera assembly to
the surface using the appropriate fasteners.
8.
For outdoor installations, seal holes drilled in the mounting surface to block moisture and other
contaminants, if necessary.
NOTE
Do not reinstall the trim ring at this time.
9.
Apply power to the camera through the 12 Vdc power cable.
