Installing The Camera

ATTENTION - Test all connections and ensure the camera is working

correctly prior to permanent installation by temporarily connecting the
camera(s) and cable(s) to the viewing / recording solution.

BNC to RCA Adapter

Attach the included BNC to RCA adapter to connect the
extension cable to RCA inputs (i.e. for a TV connection).

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 wall /
ceiling when mounted.

To install the camera:

1. Rotate the camera base counterclockwise to separate it from

the ball camera and dome cover.

2. Feed the BNC / power cable through the camera base. If you

are running the cables against a wall or ceiling, make sure to
pass the cable through the cable notch as shown above.

3. Connect the video and power cable as shown in the next

section ‘Connecting The Camera‘.

4. Mount the camera base to the wall or ceiling using the included

screws.

5. Position the dome cover over the camera and screw it

clockwise halfway onto the camera base.

6. Move the ball camera to the desired position. While holding

the ball camera firmly in place, screw the dome cover the rest
of the way to secure it to the camera base. Holding the camera
prevents it from moving while installing the dome cover.

7. Adjust the Zoom and Focus screws as needed (see ‘Lens

Adjustment’ for details). Insert rubber weatherproofing

plugs (2x) firmly into the Zoom and Focus screw
holes to ensure a weatherproof seal.

Connecting The Camera

Lens Adjustment

Use a flathead screwdriver to adjust the Focus and Zoom control
screws on the camera if necessary.

Note: Have a second person verify the camera image when you
adjust the focus and zoom.

Cable Extension Options

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

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 then 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
