CAMERA AND POWER CONNECTIONS

Installing Cameras

Mounting Cameras and Running Cable

Select the position for the camera and secure the camera stand. Screw the camera onto the stand. Adjust camera to the proper view angle. Make sure the lens is upright relative to the subject. Tighten the thumb bolt. First Alert cameras can be either ceiling or wall mounted by simply reversing the camera stand mounting. See “Camera Orientation” Info box. Holes are provided on both the top and bottom of the camera housing to accommodate most mounting requirements. Run cable from camera to DVR location. See Information box below on “Longer Cable Runs”.

Camera Orientation

It’s important the camera is mounted correctly to ensure the image is not upside down as the cam- era lens can only be positioned one way.

Longer Cable Runs

 

 

Longer cable runs may require an upgrade to

 

 

RG59 Coax cable. First Alert kits ship with eco-

 

 

nomical AV cable that is designed to work well up

 

 

to the length of cable provided, usually around

 

 

60 feet. If longer distances between camera and

 

 

DVR are required, you will need to upgrade to RG59 Coax cable. We

 

 

provide several lengths up to 300 feet. In addition, if you need to run

cable for in-wall installations, then you may require fire rated cable,

FT-4/CMR UL approved for in-wall installations.
