1
• Read this guide carefully and keep it for future reference.
• Follow all instructions for safe use of the product and handle with care.
• Use the camera within given temperature, humidity, and voltage levels noted in the
Technical Specifications.
• Camera is rated for outdoor use and is weatherproof when properly installed. Camera
is not intended for submersion in water. Installation under a sheltered environment is
recommended.

NOTE
1. 1080p cameras are compatible with 1080p HD DVR recorders. 720p cameras are compatible with
720p & 1080p HD DVR recorders.
2. This camera features an ultra-low light sensitive image sensor and therefore does not feature Infra-
Red LEDs. The camera requires ambient lighting (for example, street/ building lighting, star or
moon light) to render a night time image. In total darkness (zero Lux), the camera will not produce a
night time image and therefore the camera should not be installed in completely dark areas.
3. Not intended for submersion in water. Installation in a sheltered location recommended.

5.1 Installation Tips and Warnings
WARNING
Make sure to install the camera in a location that can support the camera weight. If mounting the cam-
era on a drywall surface, you must drill at least 2 of the mounting screws through a wooden stud. See
5.3 Installation (Indoor/Outdoor), page 6 for complete installation instructions.
• Camera is rated for outdoor use. It is recommended to install the camera in a shel-
tered area, such as under the eaves on a roof.
• It is recommended to install the camera as high up as possible to get the best possi-
ble image.
• Camera is capable of seeing in low light conditions (0.05 Lux), but it cannot see in to-
tal darkness. It is recommended to install the camera where there is some ambient
light (for example, street lighting or starlight, moonlight, etc.) or leave some lighting on
in the area where the camera is installed.
• To extend the length of the cable, see 5.2 Extension Cables, page 5.
• Mount the camera where the lens is away from direct and intense sunlight.
• Plan your cable wiring so that it does not interfere with power lines or telephone lines.
• Ensure you adhere to local building codes.
• Ensure that the camera wiring is not exposed or easily cut.
• Mount the camera in an area that is visible but out of reach.
NOTE
This camera is suitable for wall and ceiling mounting.
5.2 Extension Cables
• The included extension cable is 100ft (30m) long. If you are planning on extending the
camera’s video cabling beyond 100ft (30m), see 5.2.1 Connection Diagram for Ex-
tending the Cables Beyond 100ft (30m), page 5.
• Because this is a high-powered PTZ camera, the power cable cannot be extended be-
yond 100ft (30m). You may connect the included power adapter directly to the cam-
era’s power connector and plug the adapter into a power outlet near the camera.
• The RS-485 wires on the camera cable are for service purposes only.
• You can extend the camera’s video with a single cable run of up to 800ft (244m). Vid-
eo quality may decrease if your extension cable is too long. For this setup, you must
purchase a single run of RG59 coaxial extension cable. It is recommended to use a
video cable with the following specification: RG59U 95% Braid 20AWG or better.
NOTE
RG59 coaxial cable should be available from your local building supply store.
