camera as needed, then tighten the screw.
B. BENDING THE ARM: Use the Allen key to loosen the middle
adjustment screw. Bend the arm of the camera up to 90°, then
tighten the screw.
C. LEVELING THE CAMERA: Use the Allen key to loosen the
adjustment screw furthest from the camera base. Rotate the camera
until it is level with the viewing area, then tighten the screw.
ATTENTION:
Test your camera prior to selecting a permanent mounting location by
temporarily connecting the camera and cable to your NVR.
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
cable through the cable notch on
the base. This will keep the camera
base flush to the surface when mounted.
