Gather Your Components.
You will need:
1. A power screw driver/drill to mount your cameras. A Philips head and 3/16” drill bit are required.
2. A bubble or spirit level to ensure proper orientation of the mounting bracket.
3. A pencil or small marker to mark the mounting holes.
You should now continue with the set-up of your remaining cameras and NVR before proceeding with the other side of this guide.
IMPORTANT!
You should read and understand this guide before
proceeding in order to ensure proper operation of
your camera.
Internet Protocol (IP) or Network cameras are different from conventional video surveillance cameras by having their own internal processor which allows them to
operate as a stand-alone device or to communicate with other networked devices. This not only allows you greater flexibility in how you connect them to your NVR,
but it also gives you more choices in where you place your cameras.
This poster covers only the direct connection method
(Option 1, below)
where the camera is plugged into the POE port on the
back of the NVR. If you will be using one of the other methods, or if you will be using this camera without an NVR, please consult
the manual located on the CD that was included with this camera.

Mounting the Camera
When installing your camera, it is important to select a proper site not only for field of view, but for other considerations
as well. The optimal location for your camera will depend on your unique circumstances. As a general rule, the location
highlighted in green in the picture to the right indicate the best place to mount your camera as it is under the eaves and
high up, but you should also take into consideration:
Expanded information on these aspects can be found in your camera’s manual.
• Distance from viewing/recording device
.
• Proximity to high voltage wires or other sources of
electrical interference.
• Camera should be out of reach to avoid damage.
• Avoid direct exposure to weather.
• Do not place camera behind a window.
Installation
Your camera is designed to be mounted on a wall using the included bracket.
BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR CAMERA:
Use the included torx (star) wrench to loosen
the three housing bolts to open the lens cover. We have also included fabric gloves with
your camera to help you prevent getting fingerprints or scratches inside or outside of
the clear glass dome or camera lens. Do not remove the bolts from the cover.
1. Run the included 100’ network cable from the NVR to the camera’s location or a network port.
2. Use the mounting bracket to mark the position for the mounting holes. Ensure that the camera will be horizontal by
using a spirit or bubble level. Also mark location of hole for cables to pass through the mounting surface.
3. Drill the mounting and cable holes.
4. Insert included mounting anchors into surface.
5. Screw mounting collar onto camera body.
6. Feed the cables through the mount and out the hole in the back before securing the camera/collar assembly to the
mounting bracket.
7. Tighten the three retaining screws on the collar so that the camera housing does not turn.
8 Connect the camera cables to the extension cable.
9. Secure the camera and mount assembly to the wall using the included screws.
Remove the foam shipping insert from the camera head along with the lens cap. These items will keep
the camera from functioning properly.
Replace the lens cover. Take care to not touch or move the camera
mechanism or leave fingerprints or dust on the lens or the inside of the lens cover during this process.
