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.
  • Secure cabling so that it is not exposed or easily cut.
  • This camera is rated for outdoor use. Installation in a sheltered location is recommended.

Installing the Camera

warningATTENTION:
Test your camera prior to selecting a permanent mounting location by temporarily connecting the camera and cable to your 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 surface when mounted.

To install your camera:

  1. Set the camera in the desired mounting position and mark holes for screws through the camera base.
  2. Drill the holes, then feed the cable through the mounting surface or cable notch.
    NOTE: Insert the included drywall anchors if you are mounting the camera onto drywall.
  3. Mount the camera stand to the mounting surface using the provided screws. Make sure all screws are fastened tightly.
  4. Adjust the camera as shown below:
    1. ROTATING THE ARM: Rotate the arm until you hear an audible click. Each rotation or click locks the arm into that position. The arm of the camera can be rotated up to 360°.
    2. BENDING THE ARM AND LEVELING THE CAMERA: Use a Phillips head screwdriver (not included) to loosen the adjustment screw. Bend the arm of the camera up to 90°, and rotate the camera until it is level with the viewing area, then tighten the screw.
  5. Remove the vinyl film from the camera lens when your installation is complete.
