• 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 Specications section.
Step 1. Mounting the camera
A R8VTPS camera can be mounted directly to a wall or ceiling. The surface should support at least three
times the weight of the camera. The drop cables of this camera are normally routed through mounting
surface.
1. 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 with many types of surfaces.
2. Remove the trim ring:
a. Inspect the mounting side of the mounting plate to see how the trim ring locks onto it.
b. Set the camera mounting plate down.
Trim ring
c. Rotate the trim ring to the right about 15° counterclockwise, and then lift it off.
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 Ethernet, power (if not using PoE), audio and alarm extension cables from those
peripheral devices to the camera mounting location and out through the hole drilled for the camera
drop cables.
5. Connect the Ethernet, power, audio and alarm extension cables to the camera drop cables:
a. Connect the audio and alarm extension cables to the peripheral devices as needed.
b. Connect the Ethernet cable to the camera LAN drop cable. Protect the connection from
moisture and other contamination, if necessary. A Weatherproof Ethernet Fitting is provided.
Installation instructions for the tting are at the end of this document.

WARNING
!Drop cable connectors are not waterproof. Failure of the power or Ethernet
connector due to moisture or another contaminant is considered an installation
error, which voids the warranty. Seal all connections adequately.
c. If the camera is not powered using PoE (Power over Ethernet injector), connect the 12 Vdc
power extension cable to the camera power drop cable. The polarity of the drop cable
connector is shown in the drop cable photo above.
CAUTION
Do not apply power to the camera at this time. Before applying power through a power extension
cable, ensure that the polarity is correct. An incorrect connection may cause a malfunction and
can damage the camera.
6. Route the drop cable through the hole in the mounting surface, then attach the camera assembly to
the surface using the appropriate fasteners.
NOTE Make sure the Reset button (drop cable) is accessible after mounting the camera, if necessary.
7. For outdoor installations, seal holes drilled in the mounting surface to block moisture and other
contaminants, if necessary.
NOTE Do not reinstall the trim ring at this time.
8. Apply power to the camera through the 12 Vdc power cable or PoE injector, as congured.
Step 2. Use the Device Configuration Tool software to
configure network settings
NOTE: Skip this Step if you are adding your camera directly to the Ethernet connectors on the backpanel if an NVR.
Installation
The Device Conguration Tool is a PC-based network utility for discovery of your network camera for your
N-series recorder. It provides an easy way to congure the camera’s network settings and reset the camera.
It can be installed on a Microsoft® Windows® (Windows 7 or newer) operating system that has access to
the network where your the cameras are installed. The Device Conguration Tool is available from your
vendor.
1. Acquire the Device Conguration Tool from your vendor. At the time when this document was
published, the le is named: Device Cong Tool_<version>.exe.
2. Run the .exe le on a Windows computer that is connected to the LAN where your cameras are
installed. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation. You may have to open
ports in your rewall. The software automatically opens after it is installed and then searches for
compatible cameras on the LAN. See below.

Modify network settings
Modify the network settings of the camera you are installing to avoid IP address conicts on the LAN. Verify
that the your new settings will be compatible with other devices on the network before continuing. Consult
with your network administrator for specic recommendations, if necessary.
3. Click the entry in the search results list for the camera you are installing. The frame at the bottom of
the window shows User Info (UserName and Password) and Device Info (network settings).
4. Enter the new and compatible network settings in the Device Info eld (see below). Here, the IP
address was changed to 192.168.0.68, and the Gateway was changed to 192.168.0.1.

Cleaning
Clean the camera 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.

Using the Waterproof Ethernet Fitting
Install the Waterproof Ethernet Fitting on the Ethernet cable end at the camera when moisture or
contamination exists in the area near the camera. The tting includes several parts that must be installed in
a specic order. To install the tting:
1. Place the rubber O-ring over the camera drop cable end cap.
Push the O-ring up to the connector cap.
2. If the network cable from the switch or router has a connector
on the end, cut o the connector.
3. Place the Lock Nut onto the network cable from the router
or switch as shown in the drawing to the right. The inside
threads must be toward the camera end.
4. Place the rubber basket onto the network cable above the lock
nut as shown.
5. Place the end cap onto the network cable above the rubber
gasket as shown. The ngered end must be toward the router
or switch.
6. Install an RJ-45 connector onto the network cable.
7. Plug the RJ-45 connector with the network cable into the
camera network drop cable.
8. Fit the end cap on the network cable onto the camera drop
cable end cap. Rotate the network cable end cap to lock it in
place.
9. Push the rubber gasket fully into the end of the network cable
end cap.
10. Screw the lock nut onto the network cable end cap until it is
fully seated.
