Installing the Camera

ATTENTION - Ensure the camera is working correctly prior to permanent installation by temporarily connecting the camera(s) and cable(s) to the NVR.

NOTE - This camera may only be mounted to a ceiling. The image will appear sideways if mounted to a wall.

Before installing the camera:

Decide whether to run the cables through the ceiling (drilling required) or along the ceiling.

If you run the cables

along the ceiling, you must run the cable

through the cable notch Cable Notch on the base. This will

keep the camera base flush to the ceiling when mounted.

To install the camera:

1.Use the included mounting template to mark holes for the mounting screws.
