Covert camera

The covert camera is an analog camera to be used with the AXIS M7001 Video Encoder. The camera is powered by the video encoder.

Installing the covert camera

The covert camera is supplied with a mounting kit containing a metal bracket, screws and plugs for mounting the covert camera to a concrete wall/ceiling:

1.Make sure that the screws and plugs are appropriate for the wall/ceiling material.

2.Secure the camera in the bracket.

3.Place the covert camera against the wall/ceiling, and mark the location of the two mounting holes through which the bracket will be attached.

4.Remove the covert camera and drill the two mounting holes.

5.Insert the plugs, position the covert camera, and secure it to the wall/ceiling using the screws.

6.Connect the cable to the tele plug port on the AXIS M7001 Video Encoder.
