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.
2.Connect the Ethernet cable to the camera as shown in the section ‘Connecting the Camera’. If you are running the cables against the ceiling, make sure to pass the cable through the cable notch as shown above.
3.Loosen the 3 cover screws and then lift the cover away from the camera.
5.If you need to adjust the viewing angle of the camera:
Twist the camera left and A right to adjust the horizontal
position of the camera.
