Before installing the camera:
Decide whether to run the cables
through the wall / ceiling (drilling
required) or along the wall / ceiling.
NOTE: If you run the cable along the wall / ceiling, it needs to go
through cable notches in the camera base and cover. This will keep
the camera base flush to the surface when mounted. Use pliers to
break off the perforated metal tab on the camera cover, and then
align the cable notch in the camera cover with the cable notch in the
camera base.
To install the camera:
1. To separate the camera cover from the camera base, loosen the
screws located on either side of the camera cover using the
included Allen key.
2. Use the included mounting template to mark holes for the
mounting screws.
3. Drill the holes and then feed the cable through the mounting
surface or cable notch.
NOTE: Insert the included drywall anchors if installing the camera
in drywall.
4. Connect cables as shown in the section “Connecting the
Camera”.
5. Mount the camera base to the surface using the provided
mounting screws. Make sure all screws are fastened tightly.
