Installing the Camera

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

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. Set the camera in the desired mounting position and mark holes for screws through the camera base.

2. Drill the holes, then feed the cable through the mounting surface or cable notch.
   NOTE: Insert the included drywall anchors if you are mounting the camera onto drywall.

3. Mount the camera stand to the mounting surface using  the provided screws. Make sure all screws are fastened tightly.

4. Adjust the camera as shown below
   

A. ROTATING THE ARM: Loosen the adjustment ring by turning it counter- clockwise. Rotate the arm of the camera up to 360°, then tighten the adjustment ring against the base.
B. BENDING THE ARM: Use a Phillips head screwdriver (not included) to loosen the adjustment screw closest to the camera base. Bend the arm of the camera up to 90°, then tighten the screw.
C. LEVELING THE CAMERA: Use the screwdriver to loosen the adjustment screw furthest from the camera base. Rotate the camera until it is level with the viewing area, then tighten the screw.

ATTENTION:
This camera includes an Auto Mechanical IR Cut Filter. When the camera changes between Day/Night viewing modes, an audible clicking noise may be heard from the camera. This clicking is normal, and indicates that the camera filter is working.

Notes:

1. The extension cable must be a single stretch of cable between the DVR and camera. You cannot connect multiple extension cables to each other.
2. For cable runs above 200ft (60m), you must connect the power adapter directly to the camera, rather than at the end of the extension cable.

4. Indicators that your cable run may be too long:
   • Video is permanently black & white (even during day time)
   • Video is unclear, soft, or distorted
