Installing the Camera
ATTENTION:
Test the camera prior to selecting a permanent
mounting location by temporarily connecting the
camera(s) and cables to the DVR.
To install the camera:
1. Use the included Allen key to
loosen the security screw on the
dome cover.
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.
NOTE: Insert the included drywall anchors if installing into
drywall.
4. Feed the camera cable through the camera base.
5. Connect the video and power cable as detailed in the
section ‘Setting up the Camera’.
6. Attach the camera base to the mounting surface using
the included screws.
7. Position the dome cover over the ball camera and twist
clockwise onto the camera base. Do not tighten completely.
8. Move the ball camera to the desired position. While
holding the ball camera in place, twist the dome cover the
rest of the way to secure it to the camera base. Holding
the camera prevents it from moving while tightening the
dome cover.
Setting up the Camera
1. Connect one of the two BNC connectors on the camera to the
video cable. See “Camera Wiring” for details.
2. Connect a power source to the power terminal block. The
camera supports both 12V DC and 24V AC power supplies.
NOTE: Make sure to follow correct polarity as marked on the
power connector. For AC power, connect multiple cameras using
consistent wiring polarity to prevent video rolling.
A REGULATED 12V DC or 24V AC power supply is REQUIRED for
use with this camera. Use of a non-regulated, non-conforming
power supply can damage this product and voids the warranty.
