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.
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 your 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.

to loosen the lens module adjustment screw.
Do not loosen all the way.
