BASIC SETUP
THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE INSTALLATION
• The camera should be installed between 8 and 13ft above the area to be monitored
• Before screwing in the mount for the camera ensure there are no obstructions in the camera’s view
• Place cameras in the most strategic places where they can provide detailed, recorded video of every visitor.
• Having the camera in the open for people to see can help deter criminals
• To cover large, dark areas such as backyards, garages, and driveways, place cameras in strategic locations,
such as on the roof or deck, this way, less cameras are needed to cover an area
• Ensure that the sunshade is positioned to avoid glare and be sure to position camera away from direct
sunlight or other light sources
• For best results, the light in front of the camera should be about the same brightness as the light around the
area or object being monitored
• Decide whether the camera will be wall-mounted, ceiling mounted or sit on a desk/table top. If you are
mounting the camera on a wall or ceiling, use the included mounting hardware. We recommend that the
mounting bracket is secured using the included screws for all installations
• Each camera comes with 60ft of video/power wire please make sure that you mount the cameras no more
than 60ft from the DVR. If longer wiring distance is required, 60ft extensions can be purchased (CVW62 ) from
your local re-seller or at www.SVAT.com
• We recommend using a surge protected power bar to protect the camera’s internal circuitry
MOUNTING THE CAMERAS
1. Decide if the camera will be wall-mounted or sit on a
desk/tabletop. The camera can be adjusted for either
mounting scenario by rotating it to the
required position.
2. Screw the mounting bracket into the camera’s
mounting hole, turning it clockwise.
3. Mount the camera in the desired location no more
than 60 ft from the DVR unless you have purchased
additional wiring. You may mount the cameras on a
wall, ceiling or desk.
4. Ensure that the cameras are strongly secured into
the wall.
5. Adjust cameras to the desired viewing angles.
6. For additional help on mounting the cameras, please
see the drilling template, located at the back of
the manual.
