Installation Tips

• The camera is rated for indoor/outdoor installation but is not intended for direct exposure to rain or snow. For outdoor applications, install under shelter protected from the elements.
• Wireless cameras require a power source to operate.
• Ensure power outlets are sheltered from the elements.

1. Use the included mounting screws to attach the camera stand to the mounting surface:

2. Mark the positions of the screw holes on the mounting surface with the base of the mounting stand.

3. Drill holes and insert the drywall anchors (included) as needed.

4. Firmly attach the camera stand to the surface using the included screws.
   NOTE: If you run the power cable through the mounting surface, connect power before attaching the camera to the wall.

5. Attach the camera stand to the camera.

6. Loosen the adjustment ring on the metal camera stand and move the camera to the desired position.
   Tighten the adjustment ring when finished, holding the camera firmly in position.

7. Connect one end of the camera’s power adapter to the camera and the other end to an electrical outlet. Make sure the power connector is fully inserted to avoid water getting in the plug.

8. Remove the protective film from the front of the camera. If the film is not removed, it will affect the picture quality.
