MOUNTING

You will need a power drill, a drill bit (see anchor installation options), the included mounting sticker, wall anchors, and screws.

To mount the Outdoor Camera, follow the steps below:

1. Choose a mounting location.
   It is best to use an indoor outlet or a locked waterproof outdoor outlet.
   The outlet needs to be within 14 feet of your mounting location.

2. Peel off the backside of the included mounting sticker, exposing the adhesive.

3. Apply the mounting sticker where you intend to mount the camera. The sticker serves as a template to drill the holes in the next step.

4. Prepare your power drill and drill into each of the three targets (  ). See options A and B below: Wall anchor installation is recommended when installing screws into drywall or brick. Wall anchors may not be necessary when installing screws into wood.
   A. Wall anchor installation
   • Use a 1/4” drill bit to drill 1 1/2” deep holes at each target ( ) from the mounting template.
   • Insert a wall anchor into each hole B. Non-wall anchor installation
   • Use a 5/32” drill bit to drill 1” deep holes at each target ( ) from the mounting template.

5. Route the Outdoor Camera’s power cable using either of the techniques below:
   A. Through the wall
   • Drill a hole through the center of the template ( )all the way until reaching the other side of the wall.
   • Gently remove the mounting sticker and discard.
   • Pull the power cable through the hole and connect it to the AC power adapter cable.
   B. On the wall
   • Gently remove the mounting sticker and discard.
   • Align the rubber insert channel (pre-installed) with the channel in the camera base and route the cable through both.

6. Hold the Outdoor Camera so the base aligns with the three drilled holes, and install a screw in each.
   The camera body may need to be rotated or shifted to reach the screw locations with a power drill.

7. When the camera is mounted and secure, proceed to configure Video Analytics within the prompted “Additional Set Up”.
   Perimeter Guard™, a feature powered by Video Analytics, enables functionality for smart intruder- deterrence and can be configured within the setup for Video Analytics.
