• To avoid re or shock hazard, use only UL listed power supplies. Verify that the power supply will
provide the rated voltage and wattage for the camera. See the Specications section.
Step 1. Mounting the camera
A R8VDHS camera can be mounted directly to a wall or ceiling. The surface should support at least three
times the weight of the camera and junction box (if used). The LAN/power drop cable from the camera can
be routed either through mounting surface or through a cable channel in the mounting base.
1. Remove the dome from the camera by unscrewing the three dome assembly cover captive screws,
and then lifting the dome assembly o. An L-wrench is provided. Note that a safety cable connects
the dome to the mounting base.

NOTE
If mounting the camera on a wall, ensure that the cable channel in the mounting base is down.
If mounting the camera on a ceiling, orient the mounting base so that the cable channel is pointing
away from any source of water, dust, and other contaminates.
2. Acquire the kind of fasteners that will work best for mounting the camera to the ceiling or wall. The
mounting hardware provided with the camera will work well withe many types of surfaces.
3. Using the camera or the template provided, mark the locations of the mounting screw holes, and a
3/4” hole for the drop cables. Drill holes in the surface of the mounting location to accommodate the
camera fasteners and the drop cables.
4. Route the video and 12 Vdc power extension cables from recorder and power source to the camera
mounting location and out through the hole drilled for the camera drop cables.
5. Connect the video and power extension cables to the camera drop cables. Verify that the 12 Vdc
power cable connector polarity matches the polarity of the power drop cable.
WARNING
!Drop cable connectors are not waterproof. Failure of the power or video
drop cable connector due to moisture or another contaminant is considered an
installation error, which voids the warranty. Seal all connectors adequately.
6. Set the HD format conguration switches on the drop cable for the video encoding you prefer to use.
See the photo on Drop cable photo on page 1 of this guide.
7. Route the drop cable through the hole in the mounting surface, then attach the camera assembly to
the surface using the appropriate fasteners.
Typical ceiling mounting
8. For outdoor installations, seal holes drilled in the mounting surface to block moisture and other
contaminants, if necessary.
9. Apply power to the camera through the 12 Vdc power cable.
10. Verify that you can see video from the camera at the recorder.
Step 2. Camera adjustments
1. Un-clip the black liner from the camera gimbal. Save this part - it will be reinstalled later.
2. Verify that video from the camera can be seen on the monitor.
3. While observing video from the camera, grasp the gimbal at the tilt lock screws, and then turn the
gimbal assembly to point the camera in the direction of your surveillance target.

Cleaning
Clean the camera dome with an approved glass cleaning solution and a lint free cloth.
• Dust can be removed from the unit by wiping it with a soft damp cloth. To remove stains, gently rub
the surface with a soft cloth moistened with a mild detergent solution, then rinse and dry it with a
soft cloth. Do not use benzene, thinner or other chemical products on the camera assembly; these
may dissolve the paint and promote damage of the surfaces.
• Remove all foreign particles, such as plastic or rubber materials, attached to the camera housing.
These may cause damage to the surface over time.
