2. Insert the SD card into the SD card slot.
3. (Optional) Push the inserted micro SD card inside to remove the micro SD card.
4. Re-install the card cover and fasten the two screws to complete the installation.

Installation

Before you start:

• Make sure the device in the package is in good condition and all the assembly parts are included.
• The standard power supply is 12V DC or 24V AC, please make sure your power supply matches with your camera.
• Make sure all the related equipment is power-off during the installation.
• Check the specification of the products for the installation environment.
• Make sure that the wall is strong enough to withstand four times the weight of the camera and the bracket.

For the camera that supports IR, you are required to pay attention to the following precautions to prevent IR reflection:

• Dust or grease on the dome cover will cause IR reflection. Please do not remove the dome cover film until the installation is finished. If there is dust or grease on the dome cover, clean the dome cover with clean soft cloth and isopropyl alcohol.
• Make sure that there is no reflective surface too close to the camera lens. The IR light from the camera may reflect back into the lens causing reflection.
• The foam ring around the lens must be seated flush against the inner surface of the bubble to isolate the lens from the IR LEDS. Fasten the dome cover to camera body so that the foam ring and the dome cover are attached seamlessly.
