Camera Installation
Before you install the camera, carefully plan where and how it will be positioned, and where you will
route the cable that connects the camera to the power adaptor.
Before starting permanent installation, verify its performance by observing the image on the receiver
when camera is positioned in the same location/position where it will be permanently installed and the
receiver is placed in the location where it will be used most of the time.
Installation Warnings
·Aim the camera(s) to best optimize the viewing area: Select a location for the camera that provides a
clear view of the area you want to monitor, which is free from dust, and is not in line-of-sight to a strong
light source or direct sunlight.
·Avoid installing the cameras where there are thick walls, or obstructions between the Cameras and the
Receiver.
·Select a location for the camera that has an ambient temperature between 14°F~104°F(-10°
C~40°C)
·Not intended for submersion in water. For outdoor use, installation in a sheltered location is
recommended
Night Vision
This camera has built-in IR LEDs, which provides the camera with the ability to view images in no/low
light conditions.
Mounting Positions
You may mount your camera on a wall, ceiling, or counter. See the images below for recommended
configurations of the camera stand and antenna.

Wall Ceiling Counter
NOTE: For ceiling installation, position the antenna as high
as the ceiling allows. See the"Ceiling" mounting position in
the figure above.
To Install the Cameras
1. Use the included mounting screws to mount the camera to
the mounting surface:
· Mark the positions of the screw holes on the mounting
surface.
· Drill holes and insert the drywall plugs (included) as needed.
· Firmly attach the camera to the mounting surface using the included
screws.
NOTE (1): If you are running the power cable through the mounting
surface, connect power before firmly attaching the camera to the
mounting surface.
NOTE (2): If you run the power cable along the mounting surface, the
cable must go through the cable notch on the camera base. This will
keep the camera base flush to the mounting surface.
NOTE (3): The camera can also be placed on a flat surface, such as a Table or Shelf, and no mounting
hardware is required.
2. Loosen the thumbscrews (1, 2) and the adjustment ring (3) by turning them counter clockwise.
3. Adjust the angle of the camera until the desired view is set. Tighten the thumbscrews and the
adjustment ring to secure the camera’s position.
NOTE: You can install additional cameras (maximum of 4 cameras). When adding cameras that were
not included in the original box, you will need to pair up the cameras with the receiver. Refer to the
camera pairing section of this manual.
4. Connect the power cable from the camera to the weatherproof power connector. Plug the power
adapter into a power outlet or surge protector.
