Installation
To install the TruVision IR Color Dome
Camera, do the following.
1. Using the mounting bracket as a
template, place it level against the
mounting surface and mark the posi-
tion of the mounting holes.
2. Following all local codes, drill and
prepare the mounting holes.
3. Route the camera’s cable through
one of the four openings in the
mounting bracket, and then install
the mounting bracket with the four
provided screws. If your mounting
surface requires it, use the provided
wall anchors or other appropriate
fasteners.

4. While holding the camera in place,
set the camera shroud over the
camera.
Note: If you are installing on the
gang box or routing the wires
through the wall, connect a 75 ohm
coaxial video cable to the camera’s
video cable, and connect a 12 VDC
power supply to the power cable.
5. Using the provided Allen wrench,
lightly tighten the three screws on the
shroud. When lightly tightened, the
shroud holds the camera in place and
you can adjust the camera position.
6. Connect a 75 ohm coaxial video cable
to the camera’s video cable, and
connect a 12 VDC power supply to
the power cable.

7. Check the picture and adjust the
camera position and angle as
required.
Note: When installing a TVD-TIR-
MR or TVD-TIR(B)-HR camera, tilting
the camera housing past 80° may
result in reflection of IR illumination
from the camera base into the lens.
This can distort or obscure the
picture in night mode.
8. Tighten the shroud screws to secure
it to the mounting bracket. Ensure
that the camera shroud is firmly
attached to the bracket.
9. If necessary, use a flat blade screw-
driver to adjust the zoom first, and
then adjust the focus (2).
