Mount the Camera

We suggest that you configure the camera before mounting.

1.Place the mounting base where you want to position the camera and use a pencil to mark the holes.

2.Depending on the material of the wall or ceiling, use proper tools to drill two holes or screws where you marked. If the wall is made out of concrete, drill the holes first, insert the plastic anchors and then the screws.

The space between the camera and the screwheads should be 3mm.

3.When you place the mounting plate over the holes that you drilled in the wall, make sure you align the holes. Use the supplied screws to attach the mounting base to the surface of the wall.

4.Place the mounting base cover on the mounting plate. Reattach the camera mount onto the mounting base by holding the camera mount and twisting the camera mount clockwise into the mounting base.

5.Adjust the direction of the camera as desired, then tighten the collar on the cameara mount to lock it in place.
