Installation
This section provides information on how to install the
cameras.
Installation environment
When installing your product, consider these factors:
•Electrical: Install electrical wiring carefully. It should be
done by qualified service personnel. Always use a proper
PoE switch or a 12 VDC UL listed Class 2 or CE certified
power supply to power the camera. Do not overload the
power cord or adapter.
•Ventilation: Ensure that the location planned for the
installation of the camera is well ventilated.
•Temperature: Do not operate the camera beyond the
specified temperature, humidity or power source ratings.
The operating temperature of the camera without heater
is between -30 to +60°C (-22 to 140°F). Humidity is below
90%. For the outdoor cameras that feature built-in
heaters, the operating temperature range is -40 to 60°C
(-40 to140°F)
•Moisture: Do not expose the camera to rain or moisture
or try to operate it in wet areas. Turn the power off
immediately if the camera is wet and ask a qualified
service person for servicing. Moisture can damage the
camera and also create the danger of electric shock.
•Servicing: Do not attempt to service this camera
yourself. Any attempt to dismantle or remove the covers
from this product will invalidate the warranty and may
also result in serious injury. Refer all servicing to qualified
service personnel.

4 Installation Guide
•Cleaning: Do not touch the sensor modules with fingers.
If cleaning is necessary, use a clean cloth with some
ethanol and wipe the camera gently. If the camera will not
be used for an extended period of time, put on the lens
cap to protect the sensors from dirt.
Package contents
Check the package and contents for visible damage. If any
components are damaged or missing, do not attempt to use
the unit; contact the supplier immediately. If the unit is
returned, it must be shipped back in its original packaging.

Installation Guide 13
Setting up the camera
Note: If the light source where the camera is installed
experiences rapid, wide-variations in lighting, the camera may
not operate as intended.
To quickly put the camera into operation:
1. Prepare the mounting surface.
2. Mount the camera on the mounting surface using the
appropriate fasteners. See “Mounting the bullet camera”
on page 14.
3. Set up the camera’s network and streaming parameters
so that the camera can be controlled over the network.
For further information, please refer to the “TruVision
Series 5 IP Camera Configuration Manual”.
4. Program the camera as appropriate for its location. For
further information, please refer to the “TruVision Series 5
IP Camera Configuration Manual”.
IR illuminators
The camera’s built-in IR illumination provides high-quality
video in low-light environments, even when there is no other
illumination available.
You can configure the IR illumination using a web browser or a
client software, such as TruVision Navigator. If the function is
enabled, the IR light is On when the camera enters night
(black and white) mode. If disabled, the IR light is always Off.
The visible IR range may vary due to multiple factors such as
weather, IR reflection level of objects in frame, lens
adjustment, and camera settings. Please refer to the camera
datasheet for the standard IR range.

14 Installation Guide
Note: Avoid installing the IR camera closely facing a solid
object such as a tree or wall. The reflection will cause over-
exposure and loss of visibility of detail in field of view.
Accessing the SD card
Insert a Micro SD card with up to 128GB to use the camera as
an additional recording device, or as a backup in case of
failure of communication with the network video recorder (see
Figure 1 on page 11). The card is not supplied with the
camera.
Recorded video and log files can be accessed via the web
browser or via TruVision Navigator.
Mounting the bullet camera
Mount the camera on a ceiling or wall.
To mount the bullet camera:
1. Use the supplied template to mark out the mounting area.
Drill the screw holes on the ceiling or wall. If you need to
route the cables from the camera base, drill a cable hole
in the ceiling or wall.
2. Secure the mounting base to the ceiling or wall using the
three mounting screws and drywall anchors.

Installation Guide 15
3. Loosen the large nut at the base of the mounting bracket
to adjust the camera’s viewing angle.
Pan direction: 0 to 360° adjustable
Tilt direction: 0 to 90° adjustable
Rotate direction: 0 to 360° adjustable
4. Adjust the lens to the desired surveillance angle. Tighten
the adjustable nuts to complete the installation.
Mounting the turret camera
To mount the turret camera on a surface:
1. Place the drill template (supplied) on the surface where
the camera is to be mounted. Drill mounting holes in the
surface using the holes labeled number “1” on the drill
template.
If you would like to route the cable harness through the
mounting surface, cut a cable access hole in the
mounting surface, referencing the letter “A” on the drill
template. Skip this step if you want to route the cables on
the surface.

16 Installation Guide
If installing the turret camera to a wall mount or other
accessory, an adapter plate is provided. Install the
adapter plate to the accessory with three PM4X8 screws,
referencing number “2”.
2. Rotate the trim ring counterclockwise to remove it from
the camera.
3. Route the cables directly out of the base of the camera.
4. Install the camera on the mounting surface using the
supplied hardware.
5. Connect the corresponding power and network cables.
6. Adjust the lens.
a) Loosen the locking screw using a Philips screw
driver.
