MOUNTING GUIDELINES
Before you mount and connect the cam-
era, carefully plan where you will posi-
tion the camera and route the cable that
connects the camera to the monitor.
Keep in mind the following when plan-
ning the installation.
• This system is designed for indoor
use only.
• Do not install the camera where it
will be exposed to high humidity or
rain.
• Select a location for the camera so
you will have a clear view of the
area you want to monitor. Be sure
the location is free from dust, and
not in a direct line-of-sight with a
light source or in direct sunlight.
• Do not route the cable close to pow-
er or telephone lines, transformers,
or other electrical equipment that
could interfere with your security
system or with other systems or de-
vices.
• Select a location for the camera that
has an ambient temperature be-
tween 14° and 113°F.
• If you plan to install the camera in a
location that has conditions not rec-
ommended in this manual, consult
with a professional installer and con-
sider use of a separate camera cov-
er or housing.
MOUNTING THE CAMERA
The supplied swivel-ball joint post as-
sembly is designed to let you mount the
camera on a wood surface. If you plan to
mount the camera on a different type of
surface, purchase appropriate hard-
ware at your local hardware store. Ob-
tain mounting hardware that will support
at least 10 pounds (4.5 kg), which in-
cludes the weight of the camera and the
cable assembly.
Follow these steps to mount the camera
using the supplied post assembly.
1. Loosen the locking knob and re-
move the ball joint assembly from
the top of the lock bolt.
2. Using the base of the post assembly
as a guide, mark the locations on
the mounting surface for the three
supplied wall screws.
3. Drill a starter hole at each marked
location.
4. Thread the screws through the
holes in the base and into the holes
in the mounting surface. Tighten
each screw until the flange is se-
cure.
