This chapter describes the installation of the camera. For more detailed information about the installation
and operation of the system monitor you should consult the monitor manuals.

Remarks:

* When the system configuration is altered, the system monitor needs to check and memorise the cameras

and accessories connected to its inputs. This is done automatically when the power is switched on (rear
switch).

* This system uses a 4 wire twisted pair telephone type cable. The use of the correct twisted pair cable can

be critical to operation, especially at larger cable lengths.

Caution: Never touch the glass of the camera lens as this may cause damage.
