2. Rotate the camera base counter-clockwise to separate
it from the ball camera and dome cover.

3. Use the included mounting template to mark and drill
holes for the included mounting screws.

power connector. For AC power, connect multiple cameras using
consistent wiring polarity to prevent video rolling.
