What you’ll need

Mount
Mount the camera on a wall or ceiling. Try to keep the camera 8 to 10 feet above the ground.
For best night vision, avoid overhangs or obstructions. These may reflect the camera’s IR illumination and reduce the image clarity in night mode.
To remove the mount plate, loosen the mount plate screws and twist the camera counter-clockwise. Lift the camera vertically off the base plate and set aside.
Use the provided mounting template to mark wall mount holes. For a junction box mount, use the mounting template to determine the correct hole pattern.
For a solid material like wood or metal, drill 1/8 inch pilot holes. Drive mounting screws directly into the pilot holes.
For drywall, drill 1/4 inch holes. Insert plastic anchors into holes and drive mounting screws into anchors.
To secure the camera, place it over the mount plate screws and twist counter- clockwise. Tighten the mount plate screws with a Phillips screwdriver.
Plug in the camera. The status LED will turn orange to indicate the camera has power. The LED will turn blue to indicate the camera is active.
See additional LED states and definitions on page 16.
Gently pull the cable through the through-hole so it has some slack,
but will not interfere with the top cover.
Pulling the ethernet cable too tight will strain the cable
which may impact data performance.
Too much slack in the ethernet cable may create top cover
installation issues.
