Installing the Camera

Test your camera prior to selecting a permanent mounting location by
temporarily connecting the camera and cable to your NVR.

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. Use the included mounting template to mark holes for the

screws. Drill holes for the mounting screws.

NOTE: Insert the included drywall anchors if you are

installing the camera in drywall.

2. Connect cables as shown in the section “Connecting the

Camera”.

3. Feed the cable through
the mounting surface
or cable notch and
mount the camera
stand to the surface
using the provided
screws.

4. Use a Philips screwdriver
(not included) to loosen the adjustment screw.

5. Adjust the camera
position as
needed:

6. Tighten the adjustment
screw to secure the
position.

7. Remove the vinyl film from the camera lens when your
installation is complete.

Using the Weather Resistant Cap (Optional)

O-Ring

Camera Ethernet Connector

1. Fit the O-ring around the camera Ethernet connector.

2. Connect the cable to the camera Ethernet connector.

3. Twist the barrel securely onto the camera Ethernet connector. The

o-ring becomes compressed when the seal is properly tight.

4. Twist the end cap securely onto the barrel.
