Camera Placement Tips

Take into consideration what you want to monitor and where is the best coverage area.
Point the camera where there is the least amount of obstructions (i.e. tree branches).
Install the camera in a location that is difficult for thieves and vandals to reach.
Secure cabling so that it is not exposed or easily cut.
Place your camera close to the area of interest.
The best position is 10 ft (3 m) above ground. Bullet cameras should be angled 15° down.

Camera Mounting
Test your camera before selecting a permanent mounting location.

Camera Connection
Connect your camera directly to your recorder using the camera’s Ethernet extension cable.

Weather-resistant Cap
Twist the Ethernet extension cable’s pre-attached weather-resistant cap securely onto your camera’s Ethernet connector. If exposed to regular precipitation, seal the cap with silicone and electrical tape.
