Basic Setup

Connecting Cameras

ATTENTION: Cameras differ in terms of installation or mounting instructions. Please see the documentation that came with your camera(s) for specific installation instructions.

Test the cameras before permanent installation. Plan where you will route the wiring for the camera and where you will aim the camera.

Installation Tips

•Mount the camera where the lens is away from direct and intense sunlight.

•Plan your cable wiring so that it does not interfere with power lines or telephone lines.

•Ensure that the camera wiring is not exposed or easily cut.

•Mount the camera in an area that is visible, but out of reach.

•Avoidpointingthecamera ata glasswindow to seeoutside,asthismayresultina poorimage caused by glare from indoor / outdoor lighting conditions.

•Adjust the camera angle so that it covers an area with high traffic.

•In "high-risk" locations, have multiple cameras point in the same area. This provides camera redundancy if a vandal attempts to damage the camera.

Installing Cameras

1Mount the camera(s) to the desired mounting surface according to the instructions that came with the camera(s). Choose a firm mounting surface.

NOTE: If you wish to mount cameras to drywall, it is recommended to use drywall plugs (not included).

2Adjust the camera stand to ensure that the camera has a satisfactory view of the area you would like to monitor. Stand configuration depends on the mounting surface you have chosen (see below for suggested stand configurations).
