Connecting Cameras
Before you mount the cameras, test to ensure the cameras have no problems. Plan where
you will route the wiring for the camera, and where you will aim the camera.

Installation Tips

• Mount the camera where the lenses are 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.
• 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 camera malfunctions, or if a vandal attempts to damage the camera.
• Mount the camera in an area that is visible, but out of reach.

Camera Stand Installation

1Mount the camera stand to the desired mounting surface. Choose a firm mounting surface.
NOTE: If you wish to mount the camera stand to drywall, it is recommended to use drywall
plugs (not included).
2Attach the camera to the stand.
NOTE: There are two connection points for certain cameras. Secure the stand to the top
thread for wall-mounts or ceiling mounts. Secure the stand to the bottom thread
for table-mounts or wall mounts.
