Installing the Camera

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

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:

Set the camera in the desired mounting position and mark holes for screws through the camera base.
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.
Mount the camera stand to the mounting surface using the provided screws. Make sure all screws are fastened tightly.
Adjust the camera as shown below:

To install your camera

A. ROTATING THE ARM: Loosen the adjustment ring by turning it counterclockwise.
Rotate the arm of the camera up to 360°, then tighten the adjustment ring.
B. BENDING THE ARM: Use a Phillips head screwdriver (not included) to loosen the adjustment screw. 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. Rotate the camera until it is level with the viewing area, then tighten the screw.

5. Remove the vinyl film from the camera lens when your installation is complete.

Cable Extension Options

Extend the cable run for your camera depending on the cable type used. Additional extension cables sold separately. See table below:

Cable Extension Options

NOTES:

The extension cable must be a single stretch of cable between the DVR and camera. You cannot connect multiple extension cables to each other.
For cable runs above 200ft (61m), you must connect the power adapter directly to the camera, rather than at the end of the extension cable.
Indicators that your cable run may be too long:
• Camera loses video when switching to night vision.
• Video is permanently black & white (even during day time).
• Video is unclear, soft, or distorted.
