Tools you need
To install the camera, you will need:
• 12 Vdc power source or Ethernet PoE injector. See Specications for wattage requirement.
• Tools and additional fasteners (may be required) for mounting the c amera
• Phillips #2 screwdriver
• Ethernet drop c able
• 12 Vdc power extension cable (if powering with 12 Vdc supply)
Installation
Before installation:
• Make sure that the device is in good condition and all the assembly par ts are included.
• Check the spe cication of the products for the installation environment.
• Make sure that the wall or the ceiling is strong enough to withstand 3 t imes the weight of the camera.

• To avoid re or shock hazard, use only UL listed power supplies. Verify that the power supply will
CAUTION
provide the rated voltage and wat tage for the camera. See the Sp ecications section.
Step 1. Mounting the camera
A R8VTPS camera can be mounted directly to a wall or ceiling. T he surface should suppor t at least three
times the weight of the camera. The drop c ables of this camera are normally routed through mounting
surface.
1. Acquire the kind of fasteners that will work best for mounting the camera to the ceiling or wall. The
mounting hardware provided with the camera will work well wi th many types of surfaces.
2. Remove the trim ring:
a. Inspect the mounting side of the mount ing plate to see how the trim ring lock s onto it.
b. Set the camera mounting plate down.
7. For outdoor ins tallations, seal holes drilled in the mounting surf ace to block moisture and other
contaminants, if ne cessary.
Trim ring
c. Rotate the tr im ring to the right about 15° counterclock wise, and then lift it of f.
3. Using the camera or the template provided, mark the locations of the mounting screw holes, and a
3/4” hole for the drop cables. Drill holes in the sur face of the mounting location to accommodate the
camera fas teners and the drop cables.
4. Route the Ethernet, power (if not using PoE), audio and alarm ex tension cables from those
peripheral devices to the camera mounting location and out through the hole drilled for the c amera
drop cables.
5. Connect the Ethernet, power, audio and alarm ex tension cables to the camera drop cables:
a. Connect the audio and alarm extension cables to the per ipheral devices as needed.
b. Connect the Ethernet c able to the camera LAN drop cable. Protect the conne ction from
moisture and other contamination, if ne cessary. A Weatherproof Ethernet F itting is provided.
Installation ins tructions for the t ting are at the end of this document .
NOTE
Do not reinstall the t rim ring at this time.
8. Apply power to the camera through the 12 Vdc power cable or PoE injector, as congured.
Step 2. Use the Device Configuration Tool software to
configure network settings
NOTE: Skip this Step if y ou are adding your camera directly to th e Ethernet connectors on the ba ckpanel if an NVR.
Installation
The Device Conguration Tool is a PC-based network utility for discovery of your net work camera for your
N-series recorder. It provides an easy way to congure the camera’s network set tings and reset the camera.
It can be installed on a Microsof t® Windows® (Windows 7 or newer) operating sy stem that has access to
the networ k where your the cameras are installed. The Device Conguration Tool is available from your
vendor.
1. Acquire the Device Conguration Tool from your vendor. At the time when this document was
published, the le is named: Device Cong Tool_<version>.exe.
2. Run the .exe le on a Windows computer that is connec ted to the LAN where your cameras are
installed. Follow the on-screen instruc tions to complete the installation. You may have to open
ports in your rewall. The sof tware automatically opens after it is installed and then searches for
compatible camer as on the LAN. See below.

c. If the camer a is not powered using PoE (Power over Ethernet inje ctor), connect the 12 Vdc
power extension cable to the camera power drop cable. The polarity of t he drop cable
connector is shown in the drop cable photo above.
Do not apply p ower to the camera at this time. Before applyin g power through a power extensi on
cable, ensure that the pol arity is correct. An incorrect connec tion may cause a malfunctio n and
can damage the cam era.
6. Route the drop cable through the hole in the mounting surface, then at tach the camera assembly to
the surface using the appropriate fasteners.
NOTE

Make sure the Reset but ton (drop cable) is accessible after mounting th e camera, if necessary.
Modify network settings
Modify the network settings of t he camera you are installing to avoid IP address conicts on the LAN. Verif y
that the your new se ttings will be compatible wit h other devices on the networ k before continuing. Consult
with your net work administrator for spe cic recommendations, if necessary.
3. Click the entry in the search results list for the camera you are installing. The f rame at the bottom of
the window shows User Info (UserName and Password) and Device Info (network settings).
4. Enter the new and compatible network set tings in the Device Info eld (see below). Here, the IP
address was changed to 192.168.0.68, and the Gateway was changed to 19 2.16 8.0 .1.
