• Be sure to use only the 15V power adapter that is supplied with the PRO-754. Basically,
it’s got a little extra juice to power the infrared LED arrays in the dome at the same
time as the camera.

• Don’t use the 15V power supply for other cameras. Likewise, don’t use other camera’s
power supplies with the PRO-754. Doing so may cause unintended damage to the
camera.

1. Mounting Bracket

• Use wall-mount arm for mounting to a wall, post or similar vertical surface.

• Use ceiling-mount bracket for mounting to the underside of a ceiling or overhang.

2. Camera Housing

Contains the camera, associated circuitry and electronic components.

3. Infrared LED Array

High-powered LEDs used to illuminate targeted areas when in complete or near-total
darkness and help see farther than conventional infrared LEDs. This light is invisible to the
human eye, although you might notice a faint red glow coming from the front of the camera.
Depending on lighting conditions in the surrounding environment, sometimes not all arrays

will be used at the same time - this is normal.

4. Infrared LED Array Sensor

Detects incoming light to control the infrared LED arrays.
