CAMERA AND POWER CONNECTIONS
Installing Cameras
Mounting Cameras and Running Cable
Select the position for the camera and secure the camera stand. Screw the camera onto the stand. Adjust camera to the proper view angle. Make sure the lens is upright relative to the subject. Tighten the thumb bolt. First Alert cameras can be either ceiling or wall mounted by simply reversing the camera stand mounting. See “Camera Orientation” Info box. Holes are provided on both the top and bottom of the camera housing to accommodate most mounting requirements. Run cable from camera to DVR location. See Information box below on “Longer Cable Runs”.
Camera Orientation
It’s important the camera is mounted correctly to ensure the image is not upside down as the camera lens can only be positioned one way.
Longer Cable Runs
|
|
Longer cable runs may require an upgrade to |
|
|
RG59 Coax cable. First Alert kits ship with eco- |
|
|
nomical AV cable that is designed to work well up |
|
|
to the length of cable provided, usually around |
|
|
60 feet. If longer distances between camera and |
|
|
DVR are required, you will need to upgrade to RG59 Coax cable. We |
|
|
provide several lengths up to 300 feet. In addition, if you need to run |
Camera - Wall Mounted |
Camera - Ceiling Mounted |
cable for in-wall installations, then you may require fire rated cable, |
FT-4/CMR UL approved for in-wall installations. |
