How to connect the Bulldog Camera to your monitoring device
Your Bulldog Camera is designed to transmit high quality colour images to your security device or Television and is operated by mains power. To help guide you through the process of setting up the Bulldog Camera, we have outlined the steps and numbered each of the components required in the diagram below.
How to connect the Bulldog Camera to your monitoring device
Step 1: At the end of your Bulldog Camera cable you will find two plugs: •Silver (Video BNC Female)
•Black (DC Power Jack)

Plug the other BNC Male (3d) at the opposite end of the extension cable into a BNC connector on your security device (usually located at the back of your DVR or Quad Switcher).
Step 3: Connect the Power Connector (2a) at the end of the power adaptor (2) in to your Bulldog Camera’s DC Jack (1a), or the 10m extension cable’s DC Jack (3c) if you are using it. Use whichever is located near the most convenient power outlet
Step 4: Plug the power adaptor (2) into the mains power point on your wall and switch on if required.
