Installation
Before physically installing your camera, make sure the mounting surface can support up to 3x the weight of the
camera.
1) Remove the base portion of the camera using the included star tool.
2) Locate the position in which you would like to place your camera and using the base of the camera, mark
the installation holes with a marker on the mounting surface. These holes will be used to drill the holes needed to
mount your camera.
3) Using a drill bit that is the same diameter or slightly smaller diameter than the included drywall wall
anchors, drill the 4 holes and insert the wall anchors into the holes.
Note: The wall anchors should be in the same bag as the screws and are designed to secure the screws onto the
mounting surface.
4) Attach the power cable and BNC cabling to the camera. (If you are running the cables through a mounting
surface, use a 1” paddle bit to bore a hole for the cables.)
5) Attach the cables to the BNC connection and power supply and place the base of the camera on the wall
anchors lining the holes to the mounting surface. Please note, if you are running the cables through the mounting
surface, run the cables into the hole, if you are running the cables on the side of the camera, ensure the cables are
ran the groove found on the side of the mounting plate.

6) Using a Phillips head screwdriver, secure the screws and base of the camera to the mounting surface.
7) Place the cover over the camera and make it flush to the mounting plate and secure it to the mounting
plate using the included star tool.
Connection
To connect your camera to your DVR, please follow the steps provided below:
Step 1: Connect a BNC (coaxial) cable to the video out connection of your camera.
Step 2: Connect the male end of the DC power connector of the BNC (coaxial) cable to the female end of the power
connector of the camera.
Step 3: Connect the BNC (coaxial) cable to a video out channel on the back of your DVR.
Step 4: Connect the male end of the DC power connector of the power adapter to the female end of the power
connector of the BNC (coaxial) cable. Plug in the power adapter to apply power to the camera.

FCC Statement
1. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1)
this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
2. The user’s manual or instruction manual for an intentional or unintentional radiator shall caution the user
that changes, or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's
authority to operate the equipment. In cases where the manual is provided only in a form other than paper, such as
on a computer disk or over the Internet, the information required by this section may be included in the manual in
that alternative form, provided the user can reasonably be expected to have the capability to access information in
that form.
3. (b) For a Class B digital device or peripheral, the instructions furnished the user shall include the following
or similar statement, placed in a prominent location in the text of the manual: NOTE: This equipment has been
tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or

7
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
-- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
-- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
-- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
-- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
4. RF exposure warning: This equipment must be installed and operated in accordance with provided
instructions and the antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at
least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter. End-users and installers must be provided with antenna installation instructions and transmitter
operating conditions for satisfying RF exposure compliance.
