Installation Notes
Always follow manufacture r’s advice when using power tool s, steps, ladders, etc and
wear protective equipment (e.g, safety goggles and gloves) when drilling hole s, etc.
When using ladders ensure they are positioned on a firm stable surface at an angle and
suitably secured. Check for hidden electricity wires or water pipes before drilling any
holes. If in doubt use a cable/pipe locator. It is recommended to avoid exposing the
camera to extreme weather conditions (e.g, under a gutter which is prone to water lea ks) .
After drilling any holes through an external wall for a cable, ensure the hole is sealed up
using a suitable sealant to prevent dra ft s .
To prevent a fire or electrical shock hazard, do not attempt to open the housing while the
camera is exposed to wet conditions. Do not expose any wiring connections to weat hering.
If terminating any wiri ng conne ctions outdoors then use a suitable weathering box to
insulate the connections.
There are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
Camera Installation
Avoid positioning the ca me ra so that it is facing directly at the sun as this will impair
the picture quality viewed.
Avoid pointing the camera lens directly through clear glass as the night vision LEDs
will cause a blurred image at night.
Avoid pointing the camera directly at any bushes, tree branches or moving objects that
might naturally move due to winds. This is also because if you need to use the motion
detection feature to record movement the software might record unnecessarily.
NOTE: The camera has an open field RF operating range of up to 500’.
