Installing the Cameras Cable Extension Options

ATTENTION - Test each camera prior to selecting a permanent mounting

location by temporarily connecting the camera(s) and cables to the DVR.

Connecting the Cameras

To Camera:

To DVR:

Extend the cable run for your camera up to 300ft or more
depending on the cable type used. See table below:

Option Cable Type Max Cable

Before installing the cameras:

• Decide whether to run the
cables through the wall /
ceiling (drilling required) or
along the wall / ceiling.

• If you run the cables along the
wall / ceiling, you must run
the cable through the cable
notch on the base. This will
keep the camera base flush to
the surface when mounted.

To install the cameras:

1. Set the camera in the desired mounting position and
mark holes for screws through the camera base.

2. Drill the holes, then feed the cable through the
mounting surface or cable notch and mount the
camera stand to the surface using the provided
screws. Make sure all screws are fastened tightly.

3. Set the position and angle of the camera.

Notes:

1. For optimal performance, consider using option 2 or 3. It is best to use
the same cable type for the entire distance.

2. Cable run recommendation based on typical camera power consumption
(up to 500mA). For specialty cameras with higher current consumption,
maximum cable run may be reduced. Consider providing power to the
camera at the camera side, rather than at the end of the extension cable.

3. Indicators that your cable run may be too long:

• Video is permanently black & white (even during day time)

• Video is distorted
