condensing).
2. Be sure to have the required accessories and tools available.
Refer to the User and Installation Guide.
3. Using the supplied Torx wrench, unscrew the four screws on
the dome cover and remove the cover.
The camera is shipped without a microSDXC card. The card

the System > Events Source screens.
C2. Changing the Lens Position from 180° to 360°
The camera is shipped with the lenses mounted for 180° viewing (Wall Mode). The lens
must be physically rotated for the camera to operate in 360° mode (Ceiling Mode).
The illustration below shows how to change the lens orientation
No change is required in the camera's user interface.
Lenses in180 mode
Lenses in 360 Mode
To rotate the lenses

them clockwise. Be sure to leave the protective lens caps on
the lenses during this step.

3. Remove the lens caps. The camera reboots in Ceiling Mode
(360°operation).

3. Align the holes on the camera's base plate with the drilled
holes.
4. Screw the base into the installation surface.
5. When mounting the camera in 180° mode, note the position of
the Top Conduit to orientate the camera correctly.

IR contacts on the camera base. See
section D.
12. Replace the dome cover over the base and
screw it closed.
6. Unscrew the cover over the Top or Base cable conduits and
feed the system cables through it.
7. To maximize water protection when using conduit, use the
included rubber O-ring and add teflon tape to the threading.
8. Tighten the screws after all cables are inserted so that the
base plate is flush with the surface.
Note:
The cameras have a circuit protection mechanism that is activated if the cover is removed
while the IR LEDs are on. If the IR LEDs are not operating:
