Installation
Before installation:
• Make sure that the device is in good condition and all the assembly par ts are included.
• Check the spe cication of the products for the installation environment.
• Make sure that the wall or the ceiling is strong enough to withstand 3 times the weight of the camera.
• To avoid re or shock hazard, use only UL listed power supplies. Verify that the power supply will
provide the rated voltage and wat tage for the camera. See the Sp ecications section.
Step 1. Mounting the camera
A NB8 camera can be mounted direc tly to a wall or ceiling. The surface should support at leas t three times
the weight of the camera and junction box (if used). The LAN/power drop cable from the c amera can be
routed either t hrough mounting surface or through a cable channel in the mounting base.

NOTE
If mounting the ca mera on a wall, ensure that the cable channel in th e mounting base is down.
If mounting the ca mera on a ceiling, orient the mountin g base so that the cable channel is pointi ng
away from any source of water, dust, and oth er contaminates.

1. Using the drill template provided, mark the loc ation of the screws that anchor the mounting base
to the mounting sur face. See the note above. If you are rou ting the drop cable through mounting
surface, also mark the position of the hole for the drop cable.
2. Drill holes for the screw s that anchor the base to the mounting surface. The mounting hardware
provided is appro priate for most surfaces. However, depending on the surface materials, more
appropriate fasteners may be required.
3. If routing the drop cable t hrough the mounting surface, drill a 5/8” hole in the middle of the drill
template.
4. Route the drop cable through the hole in the mounting surface, or through the cable channel in the
mounting base, then attach the c amera assembly to the surf ace using the appropriate fasteners.
5. Connect the net work LAN and power extension cables to the camera drop cables:
a. Connect the Ether net LAN cable to the camera L AN drop cable. Protect the connection from
moisture and other contamination, if ne cessar y. A Weatherproof Etherne t Fitting is provided.
Installation ins tructions for the t ting are included later in this document.
Tools you need
To install the camera, you will need:
• 12 Vdc power source or Ethernet PoE injector. See Specications for wattage requirement.
• Tools and additional fasteners (may be required) for mounting the c amera
• Ethernet drop c able
• 12 Vdc power extension cable (if powering with 12 Vdc supply)

CAUTION
Do not apply p ower to the camera at this time. Before applyin g power to the camera, ensure that
the polarit y is correct. An incorrect connection m ay cause a malfunction and can d amage the
camera .
6. For outdoor installations, seal holes drilled in t he mounting surface to block moisture and other
contaminants, if ne cessary.
7. Secure the camera to the mounting surface using appropriate screws.
8. Apply power to the camera through the 12 Vdc power cable or PoE injector, as congured.
Step 2. Using the Device Configuration Tool software
NOTE: Skip this Step if y ou are adding your camera directly to th e Ethernet connectors on the ba ckpanel if an NVR.
Installation
The Device Conguration Tool is a PC-based network utility for discover y of NTx or NBx cameras for your
N-Series recorder. It provides an easy way to congure the camera’s network settings and reset the camera.
It can be installed on a Microsof t® Windows® (Windows 7 or newer) operating sy stem that has access to
the networ k where your the cameras are installed. The Device Congur ation Tool is available from your
vendor.
1. Acquire the Device Conguration Tool from your vendor. At the time when this document was
published, the le is named: Device Cong Tool_<version>.exe.
2. Run the .exe le on a Windows computer that is connec ted to the LAN where your cameras are
installed. Follow the on-screen instruc tions to complete the installation. You may have to open
ports in your rewall. The sof tware automatically opens af ter it is installed and then searches for
cameras on the L AN. See below.

Modify network settings
Modify the network s ettings of the camera you are installing to avoid IP address conicts on t he LAN. Verify
that the your new se ttings will be compatible wit h other devices on the networ k before continuing. Consult
with your net work administrator for spe cic recommendations, if necessary.
3. Click the entry in the search results list for the camera you are installing. The frame at the bottom of
the window shows User Info (UserName and Password) and Device Info (network settings).
4. Enter the new and compatible network set tings in the Device Info eld (see below). Here, the IP
address was changed to 192.168.0.68, and the Gateway was c hanged to 192.16 8.0 .1.
Step 3. Perform the initial setup of the camera
NOTE: Skip this Step if y ou are adding your camera directly to th e Ethernet connectors on the ba ckpanel if an NVR.
1. To log into the camera and setup a password, click on the IP address of the camera in the list you
want to log into (see above). If SurveillancePlugin was not previously installed on your compu ter, the
following window will appear. You must install the plugin to access the camera.
2. In the screen above, click the download hyperlink.
3. In the following window, click Run in the footer menu, and then c lose your browser.
