Luma 500/700 Series Bullet Camera

Installation

Before you start, ensure that the device is in good condition and all the assembly parts are included.

We recommend installing with RG-59 or RG-6 cabling with two-wire power (either regular or siamese). This
provides better performance over distance than using traditional category cable with baluns. For more details, see
the product page at SnapAV.com.

} Make sure that all equipment is powered off during installation.
} Ensure the wall is strong enough to withstand three times the weight of the camera and the mount.
} If the mounting surface is cement, use the included expansion screws to install the camera. If mounting to

a wood surface, use self-tapping wood screws (not included) to secure the camera.

} If the product does not function properly, please contact technical support. Do not disassemble the camera

for repair or maintenance.

Install the Camera

3. Attach the base of the camera to the ceiling and secure it with screws.

4. Route the cables through the cable hole.

5. This camera has an elbow joint flanked by two rotational joints for perfect pan and tilt control. Loosen
the three hex screws in the camera. Adjust the angle of the elbow as desired, and tighten the elbow
hex screw, A. Rotate the camera so that it’s facing in the proper direction, and tighten the base screw,
B. Finally, spin the camera casing so that the picture is level, and tighten the level hex screw, C.

6. Connect the power and video cables.

7. Optional: If this is an HD installation and you want to use the camera’s on-screen display through your
DVR or the web interface, go into the DVR’s menu and set the camera protocol to HIK-C (Coaxitron). To
do so from the DVR’s local interface, go to Settings > Camera > PTZ, then click the PTZ Settings button.
From the web interface, go to Configure the Recorder > Camera Settings > PTZ Settings. If this is a 960H

installation, you can only use the OSD menu locally at the camera.

Adjust the Camera

1. Adjust or remove the sunshade. You can slide the shade back and forth by loosening the screw slightly;
tighten when finished. You can remove the shade by removing the screw, then removing the shade; then
replacing the screw when finished.

2. Adjust the camera’s zoom and focus by adjusting the dials at the front of the camera using a screwdriver.
On the front (focus) screw, F and N stand for far and near, respectively. On the rear (zoom) screw, T and W
stand for wide angle and telephoto.

3. If you want to adjust the camera settings using a CC tester, do that now (see page 9). Otherwise, you’ll use
the DVR’s controls to adjust the camera settings.
