TOOLS YOU NEED
To install the camera, you will need:
• 12 Vdc power source. See Specications for wattage requirement.
• Tools and additional fasteners (may be required) for mounting the camera
• Phillips #2 screwdriver
• Video and power extension cables
• CCTV video setup monitor (optional)
INSTALLATION
Before installation:
• Make sure that the device is in good condition and all the assembly parts are included.
• Check the specication of the products for the installation environment.
• Make sure that the wall or the ceiling is strong enough to withstand 3 times the weight of the camera.
• To avoid re or shock hazard, use only UL listed power supplies. Verify that the power supply will
provide the rated voltage and wattage for the camera. See the Specications section.
During installation:
• Camera Lens: Handle the camera carefully to prevent scratching or soiling the lens. If the lens or IR
array shield becomes soiled, clean it only with approved products. See the Cleaning section.
• Monitor impedance: Set the monitor impedance switch to 75 Ω.
• Power supply: Camera drop cable: The camera drop cable includes two connectors:
—Video BNC connector: For transmission of the video signal across a coax (75 Ω) extension cable.
—Power connector: When applying Vdc power, observe the power polarity. See the picture to the
right for the connector polarity conguration.
Mounting the camera
These cameras can be mounted on a wall or ceiling that has sucient strength to support it. The video/
power drop cable from the camera can be routed either through mounting surface or through a cable guide
on the edge of the mounting base.
Typical ceiling mounting
NOTE
If mounting the camera on a wall, ensure that the label on the mounting base, “Bottom,” is down.
If mounting the camera on a ceiling, orient the mounting base so that the cable guide is pointing
away from any source of water, dust, and other contaminates.
1. Using the drill template provided, mark the location of the screws that anchor the mounting base
to the mounting surface. See the note above. If you are routing the drop cable through mounting
surface, also mark the position of the hole for the drop cable.
2. Drill holes for the screws that anchor the base to the mounting surface. The mounting hardware
provided is appropriate for most surfaces. However, depending on the surface materials, more
appropriate fasteners may be required.
3. Drill a 3/4” hole through the mounting surface for the drop cable, if necessary.
4. Route the drop cable through the hole in the mounting surface, or through the cable guide in the
mounting base, then attach the camera assembly to the surface using the appropriate fasteners.
5. Connect the camera drop cable to video and power extension cables as required. NOTE: The
camera includes both an HD-TVI and CVBS video drop cables.
6. Connect the other end of the video extension cable to a video monitoring device, such as a CCTV
system monitor or HD-TVI compatible DVR.

NOTE Drop cable connectors are not waterproof.

7. Connect the other end of the power extension cable to a 12 Vdc power source. Observe the polarity
of the cable shown in the photo on page 1 of this guide.
Camera adjustments
8. Apply power to the camera.
9. Verify that video from the camera can be seen on a monitor. NOTE: Video from the CVBS drop able
or the video test cable is NTSC video and can be displayed on most NTSC compatible monitors.
Video from the HD-TVI drop cable must be connected to an HD-TVI compatible video recorder (DVR)
system.
10. While observing video from the camera, loosen the mounting bracket pan, elevation and horizontal
line adjustment lock screws, point the camera at your surveillance target, and then tighten
adjustment lock screws or nuts to hold the camera in position.
The mounting bracket pan adjustment can be made after loosening the lock nut (see the photo
below).
