Step 1
Use the inner hexagonal wrench (provided) to loose the three inner hexagon screws in the
dome cover and then open the cover. See Figure 3-1.
Step 2
Use the inner hexagonal wrench (provided) to loose the three inner hexagon screws in the
dome and then remove the device installation pedestal. See Figure 3-2.
Step 3
Take out the installation location map from the accessories bag and then paste it on the ceiling
or the wall to identify the installation area. Draw out the cable exit and four plastic expansion
bolt holes in the installation position according to the device pedestal. Dig the four plastic
expansion bolt holes and cable exit. Insert the four plastic expansion bolts into the screw holes.
See Figure 3-3.
Step 4
Adjust the device installation pedestal to the proper position and then draw the cable through
the cable exit you just dug in the ceiling (wall). Line up the four screw holes in the device
pedestal to the four plastic expansion bolt holes in the installation position. Put the four self-
tapping screws in the four plastic expansion bolts firmly. See Figure 3-4.
Step 5

10
Adjust the device position and then line up the three inner hexagon screws of the device to the
three holes in the installation ceiling (wall). Put the three inner hexagon screws to the screw
holes of the device pedestal and then use the inner hexagonal wrench to secure firmly.
Step 6
Loose the trip bolt and then turn the X-Y-Z rotation module to adjust the camera lens to the
proper monitor angle.
Step 7
Use the inner hexagonal wrench to secure three hex screws at the top cover to complete the
installation.
Now you have completed dome camera installation and cable connection.
You can use the terminal devices such as the DVR, NVS and etc to view the monitor video.
