Camera Installation

Before you install the camera*, carefully plan where and how it will be positioned, and where you will route the cable that connects the camera to the DVR.

Installation Warnings

• Select a location for the camera that provides a clear view of the area you want to monitor, which is free from dust, and is not in line-of-sight to a strong light source or direct sunlight.

• Plan the cables’ route so that it is not close to power or telephone lines, transformers, microwave ovens or other electrical equipment that could interfere with the DVR.

• Select a location for the camera that has an ambient temperature between 14°F~113°F (-10°C~45°C)

• If you plan to install the camera in a location that has conditions not recommended in this manual, consult with a professional installer and consider use of a separate camera cover or housing

• Before starting permanent installation, have another person hold the camera for you while you verify its performance by observing the image on a monitor.

Camera Stand Installation

1. Attach the pedestal to the ceiling, wall or other surface by the base using the provided screws.

2. The mounting bracket must be attached to a structural device such as a wall stud or ceiling rafter using the supplied screws.

3. Attach the camera to the pedestal. Adjust the angle of the camera, and tighten the thumbscrew to set the position

Note: The Camera can be attached to the stand using the screw point on the top or the bottom (to maintain proper camera alignment). This prevents the image from becoming inverted.

* Camera may not be exactly as shown

Connecting BNC Cameras

1. Connect the extension cable to the Camera and system:

A. Connect the Barrel Power connector to a power adaptor.

B. Connect the BNC connector to an available BNC Port on the DVR.

C. Connect the Male Power connector to the Camera.

D. Connect the BNC connector to the Camera.

2. Connect the Power Adaptor to a wall outlet.

ATTENTION: The ends of the extension cable are NOT the same - one end has a Male power port,

and the other has a Female power port. Before permanently running the Camera Extension Cable, make sure that the cable has been oriented between the Camera and the unit correctly.

Male Power Port - The male power port end of the Extension cable connects to the Camera.
