in.
Picture is too bright • Ensure your camera isn’t pointed directly at a
source of light (e.g sun or spot light).
• Slide the sunshade (bullet cameras only)
forward to block excess light.
• Move your camera to a different location.
Picture is too dark • If using during the day, the camera may not
be getting enough light. Slide the sunshade
backwards to let in more light. Check the
brightness and contrast settings of the device
your camera connects to (TV/Monitor/DVR).

Notes:
1. For optimal performance, consider using option 2 or 3. Preference for using the
same cable type for the entire distance.
2. Cable run recommendation based on typical camera power consumption (up to
500mA). For specialty cameras with higher current consumption, maximum cable
run may be reduced. Consider providing power to the camera at the camera side
rather then at the end of the extension cable.
3. Indicators that your cable run may be too long:
• Video is permanently Black & White (even during day time)
• Video is distorted

Setup Diagram
Before Installing The Camera
• Decide whether to run the cables through the wall/ceiling (drilling
required), or along the wall/ceiling.
• If you run the cables along the wall/
ceiling, you must run the cables
through the opening in the camera
base, then tuck the cable into the
cable notch on the base. This will
keep the camera base flush to the
wall/ceiling when mounted.
To install the camera:
1. Remove the three screws located on the outer ring of the
Dome Cover using the Allen key (included).
2. Mount the Camera Base to the ceiling or wall using the
provided screws.
3. Position the Ball Camera at the desired position and angle.
4. Position the Dome Cover over the Ball Camera. Holding the
cover firmly in place, use the Allen key to tighten the screws
on the outer ring of the Dome Cover.
Cable notch
ATTENTION - Test all connections and ensure the camera is working
correctly prior to permanent installation by temporarily connecting the
camera(s) and cable(s) to the viewing/recording solution.
Tighten the dome
cover using the
Allen key.

obstructions (ie tree branches).
• Install the camera in a location that is difficult for
vandals to reach.
• Secure cabling so that it is not exposed or easily cut.
• Connect your system and cameras to a back-up power
supply. This ensures the system continues to record
during power outtages.
