(optional)
Before installing the camera:
• Decide whether to run the cables through
the wall / ceiling (drilling required) or
along the wall / ceiling.
• If you run the cables along the wall /
ceiling, you must run the cable through the
cable notch on the base. This will keep the
camera base flush to the wall / ceiling when
mounted.
To install the camera:
1. Rotate the camera base counterclockwise to separate it from the ball
camera, adjustment ring, and dome cover.
Installing the Camera Cable Extension Options
Extend the Ethernet cable run for your camera up to 300ft. See table below.
It is recommended to use UL CMR approved cables available at www.
