Installation

Before physically installing your camera, make sure the mounting surface can support up to 3x the weight of the camera.

Locate the position in which you would like to place your camera and using the base of the camera, mark the 4 installation holes with a marker onto the mounting surface. These holes will be used to drill the holes needed to mount your camera.
Using a drill bit that is the same diameter or slightly smaller diameter than the included drywall wall anchors, drill the 4 holes and insert the wall anchors into the holes.
Note: The wall anchors should be in the same bag as the screws and a designed to secure the screws onto the
mounting surface.
Attach the power cable and BNC cabling to the camera. (If you are running the cables through a mounting surface, use a 1” paddle bit to bore a hole for the cables.)
Place the base of the camera on the wall anchors lining the holes to the mounting surface. Then, using a Phillips head screwdriver, secure the screws and base of the camera to the mounting surface.
Note: To adjust the camera, you can loosen the adjustment screws near the base of the camera. Adjust the position as desired and tighten when complete.

Connection

To connect your camera to your DVR, please follow the steps provided below:
Step 1: Connect a BNC (coaxial) cable to the video out connection of your camera.
Step 2: Connect the male end of the DC power connector of the BNC (coaxial) cable to the female end of the power connector of the camera.
Step 3: Connect the BNC (coaxial) cable to a video out channel on the back of your DVR.
Step 4: Connect the male end of the DC power connector of the power adapter to the female end of the power connector of the BNC (coaxial) cable. Plug in the power adapter to apply power to the camera.
For more information on the installation process described, refer to the image below for more details.

Audio
The camera has a built-in microphone which allows the camera to transmit one- way audio through a coaxial connection. To enable the microphone on your camera, please make sure the following settings on your DVR are enabled.
In the Management menu, click on Encode to enter the encode settings menu for your DVR.
Click on “More Settings” and make sure that the Audio Encode checkbox is enabled.

Using an Amcrest 4-in-1 Camera
Quadbrid or 4-in-1 technology, allows for a flexible means of providing HD- CVI, HD-TVI, AHD, and Analog formatted video to your DVR. The signal is transmitted uncompressed, which eliminates latency and allows for real-time, highly reliable video security without loss or delay. The cameras connect point-to-point directly to the DVR (BNC) which provides a highly secure, closed network, as well as a painless and non-complex plug-and-play setup process. The toggle switch for your 4-in-1 camera is represented in the image below:

Most Amcrest DVRs will require you to set the camera to HD-CVI or Analog (960H) settings and may not be compatible with HD-TVI or AHD. Ensure your 4-in-1 camera’s toggle switch is set to the proper setting as indicated in the diagram below.

Note: If the proper mode configuration is not set, you will not be able to view your camera on your DVR. Please make sure you have the proper settings on your camera before you begin setting up or installing.
