Before You Start

Things to keep in mind when deciding where to install the camera:
Consider camera viewing angles, lighting conditions, line-of-sight obstructions, and in-wall
n
obstructions.
If the IR Remote Commander will be used, ensure that nothing blocks the IR lens in the camera's base.
n
Ensure that the camera body can move freely and will normally point away from the ceiling and lights.
n
The video image may appear off-level in any of these situations:
The mount is not level
n
The mount is not installed on the centerline of the room
n
The back wall of the room is not perpendicular to the centerline of the room
n
Prepare for a successful installation:
Be sure you can identify all cables correctly.
n
Check Cat-5 cables for continuity.
n
Ensure that the video resolution rotary switch is set appropriately.
n
Talk to the network administrator. If installing the camera in a non-DHCP network (one that does not
n
automatically assign IP addresses), you may need to configure the camera with a static IP address as
directed by the network administrator before connecting it to the network. Work with the network
administrator to determine how to configure the equipment.
