Hardware Installation
• Before installing surveillance cameras, design your system carefully
and test the location and coverage of each camera by temporarily
connecting the camera to the FortiRecorder NVR. Additionally, decide
whether to run the cables through the wall/ceiling (drilling required) or
along the wall/ceiling through the cable notch on the base.
• Install the camera in a protected location that is not easily accessible,
and is away from impacts or heavy vibrations.
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight in outdoor installation for better
image quality and longer service life.
• Provide adequate grounding to the unit and the PoE injector, in
compliance with your local electrical code or regulations. The
grounding wire color must be a green-and-yellow combination and
the conductor size must be a minimumm of 18 AWG.
• Hire qualed technicians to carry out maintenance and repairs.
Disconnect power from the unit when performing maintenance tasks.
• The included mounting screws are 4mm in diameter and 25mm in
length.
