Installing the Camera
Test your camera prior to selecting a permanent mounting location by
temporarily connecting the camera and cable to your DVR.
Before Installing the Camera
• 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 your camera:
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.
NOTE: Insert the included drywall anchors if you are
mounting the camera onto drywall.
3. Mount the camera stand to the mounting surface using
the provided screws. Make sure all screws are fastened
tightly.
4. Adjust the camera as shown below:
A B C
A. ROTATING THE ARM: Loosen the adjustment ring by turning it
counter-clockwise. Rotate the arm of the camera up to 360°, then
tighten the adjustment ring against the base.
B. BENDING THE ARM: Use a Phillips head screwdriver (not included)
to loosen the adjustment screw closest to the camera base. Bend the
arm of the camera up to 90°, then tighten the screw.
C. LEVELING THE CAMERA: Use the screwdriver to loosen the
adjustment screw furthest from the camera base. Rotate the camera
until it is level with the viewing area, then tighten the screw.
5. Remove the vinyl film from the camera lens when your
installation is complete.
