Camera Orientation

It’s important the camera is mount- ed correctly to ensure the image is not upside down as the camera 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 economical AV cable that is designed to work well up to the length of cable provided, usually around 60 feet. If longer dis-

tances between camera and DVR are required, you will need to upgrade to RG59 Coax cable. We provide several lengths up to 300 feet. In ad- dition, 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.

•	Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that of the receiver.
•	Consult the dealer or an experienced radio or TV technician for help.
