Installing the Camera

ATTENTION
Test your camera prior to selecting a permanent mounting location by temporarily connecting the camera and cable to your NVR.

Before Installing the Camera

• Decide whether to run the cables through the wall / ceiling (drilling required) or along the wall / ceiling.
• If you run the cables along the wall / ceiling, you must run the cable through the cable notch on the base. This will keep the camera base flush to the surface when mounted.

To install your camera

1. Use the included mounting template to mark holes for the mounting screws and camera cable.
2. Drill holes for the mounting screws and camera cable.
3. Feed the camera cable through the camera base. If you are running the cables against a wall or ceiling, make sure to pass the cable through the cable notch as shown above.
4. Connect the cables as shown in the section ‘Connecting the Camera’.
5. Mount the camera base to the mounting surface using the included screws and optional drywall anchors.
6. Angle the dome camera as needed.
7. Remove the vinyl film from the camera lens when your installation is complete.
