Night Vision Features
2. NIGHT VISION FEATURES
This camera is equipped with special features that make it
more effective at deterring and identifying nighttime
intruders.
2.1 Night Vision
This camera is equipped with IR (Infrared) LEDs, which
allow it to see at night up to a range of 60 ft. (18m). It has a
built-in light sensor that activates night vision when it is
dark. The camera sees in black and white when night
vision is on.
2.2 Motion Detection / White Light LEDs
This camera is also equipped with White Light LEDs. At
night, the White Light LEDs are set to turn on
automatically when the camera detects motion within a
range of 9 ft.
How it Works: During nighttime, the camera’s night vision sees up to 60 ft. in black and white. When
an object comes within a 9 ft. range, the White Light LEDs turn on, and the Infrared LEDs turn off. White
light projects up to 30 ft., allowing the camera to view close by objects in color (depending on lighting
conditions). After 15 seconds, the White Light LEDs turn off, and the Infrared LEDs turn back on.

Night Vision Features
This helps deter / identify intruders by:
• Alerting them to the presence of the camera, after they
have already been spotted.
• Providing a better view of the intruder’s face. The white
lightsonthecameraturnoninstantlytosurpriseintruders,
drawing their eyes to the camera.
• Providing color images at night. When the white lights are
activated, the camera can view close by objects in color.
Color images help identify the intruder’s face and clothing.
NOTE: White Light LEDs remain on for 15 seconds after
the camera detects motion.
The camera detects motion using a built-in
light sensor. Avoid installing the camera in
areas where the lighting conditions are likely
to change frequently, as lighting changes may
trigger the sensor even if there is no motion.

Installation Tips
3. INSTALLATION TIPS
• Test the camera before installing to ensure that there are
no problems with the camera.
• To maximize the range of the motion sensor and White
Light LEDs, mount the camera around 7 ft. (2.2m) off the
ground.
• Avoid installing the camera in locations overlooking a
publicroadorsidewalk, as motion or lightingchangesfrom
these locations will trigger the camera’s White Light LEDs.
• Mount the camera where the lenses are away from direct
and intense sunlight.
• Plan your cable wiring so that it does not interfere with
power lines or telephone lines.
• Ensure that the camera wiring is not exposed or easily cut.

5
Installation Tips
• Adjust the camera angle so that it provides a satisfactory
view of the area you would like to monitor.
• In "high-risk" locations, have multiple cameras point in
the same area. This provides camera redundancy if a
camera malfunctions, or if a vandal attempts to damage
the camera.
• Mount the camera in an area that is visible but out of reach.
3.1 Suggested Install Locations
This camera is ideal for entrances and other areas where
intruders are likely to come in close proximity to the
camera.
Good locations to install the camera are:
• Home entrance.
•Office / warehouse entrance.
• Stairwells.
• Hallways.
Avoid installing the camera:
• Overlooking a road, street, sidewalk, or other location
where normal nighttime traffic is likely to trigger the
motion sensor.
• In a location where people or objects are unlikely to come
within 9 ft. (3m) of the camera (for example, mounted to a
high ceiling in a warehouse).
• Where lighting conditions change frequently.
• In a location that is lit at night (such as a parking lot), as
existing lighting may prevent the camera from turning on
night vision.

Installing the Camera
4. INSTALLING THE CAMERA
4.1 Before Installing the Camera
Decide if you are going to run the cables through the wall /
ceiling (drilling required) or along the wall / ceiling.
• If you are running the cables through the wall / ceiling,
connect the power and BNC video cables to the camera
before installing. See “Connecting the Camera” on page 12
for details.
• If you are running the cables along the wall / ceiling, follow
the instructions below before connecting the camera
power and BNC video cables.
4.2 To Install the Camera
1Use the included allen key to loosen the base screws
(Figure 1). Twist the mounting base until it loosens; then,
separate the camera from the mounting base.

Installing the Camera
2Run the cable through the base (Figure 3) and secure it by
pushing the rubber bumper on the cable through the slot on
the base (Figure 4). This prevents the camera from falling
during installation.
• If you are running the cables along the wall / ceiling, make
sure to run the cable through the cable notch on the base.
This will keep the camera base flush to the wall / ceiling
when mounted.

5. POSITIONING
The camera offers flexible positioning, allowing you to
manually adjust the camera for wall or ceiling installation.
NOTE: To maximize the range of the motion sensor and
White Light LEDs, it is recommended to mount the
camera around 7 ft. (2.2m) off the ground.
Tilt the camera to adjust the angle.
Loosen the screws on both sides of
the base and twist the camera to
adjust the camera direction.
Do not over-tighten the
screws, as this may crack
the camera or base.

The camera module can only
twist one full rotation in
either direction. Do not force
