dynamic range for the best video quality
every time

Important note: All jurisdictions have specific
laws and regulations relating to the use of

purpose, it is the buyer’s responsibility to be
aware of all applicable laws and regulations
that prohibit or limit the use of cameras and to
comply w ith the applicable laws and regulation s.
Warning: Modifications not approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void user’s

Important safety instructions
1) Make sure product is fixed correctly and stable
if fastened in place.
2) Do not operate if wires and terminals are
exposed.
This camera has an on-screen configuration menu to
configure various image settings as they apply to the
camera and the scene that you wish to view.
• You should endeavor to set the camera up close
to the area you wish to view before you install
the camera so that you have access to the
joystick and can adjust the image settings.
• How you’re going to connect the camera to your
monitoring system; you should plan the route
from the recorder to each camera
• How to keep the camera out of harm’s way. It’s
recommended to mount your cameras in an
elevated position to prevent easy access.
• Place your camera as close to the area of
interest as practicable. The best position is from
about 3-4m (9-13ft) above looking slightly down.
• Although the sky looks nice when you look at
the live view from your camera, it is an unlikely
direction for an offender to approach from.
Keep the camera pointed down away from the
sky or ceiling. This will also minimize glare from
1 2 3 4
lighting affecting the image.
• Think about the most likely way a potential
offender may approach your home and position
your cameras to give you the best coverage of
these areas.
• The camera’s casing is resistant to water,
different weather conditions and tampering.
However, the cable and connectors are
vulnerable and require protection.
• Even though the camera is weather and waterresistant, prolonged exposure to adverse
weather conditions such as sunlight or
excessive moisture, may eventually damage
the internal components of the camera and
adversely affect its performance.
Positioning the cables
1) When running the cable, try to avoid bending it at
sharp angles.
2) Avoid positioning the cable live electrical wiring.
AC electricity generates radio “noise” which can
interfere with the signal from your camera.
3) Do not stretch or apply force to the cable greater
than 25lbs/11kgs.

The camera can be mounted onto a flat surface using screws. The surface must have
sufficient strength to hold the camera.
• Position the camera in the location you want to mount it, and mark the screw holes on
the surface to position the screws on the surface. Then, using appropriate screws for
the surface you’re fixing the camera to, secure the camera into place.
• If you’re mounting to a wooden surface, then screw the camera directly to the surface.
• If you’re mounting to a masonry surface (bricks, concrete or similar) then you’ll need to
use the included wall plugs.
