Before You Start
To install the Camera, you’ll need access to the low voltage wire that
runs between the Transformer and your landscape lights.
This may require exposing the wire(s) if they’re buried.
Note: If you plan to connect the camera
to a 12V AC adapter, this step will not be
necessary. Instead, follow the instructions
included with the Novolink 12V AC adapter for
the Landscape Camera. (See page 29 for more
details.)

1. Make sure you have all parts of the camera. Check the mechanisms
and wiring for damage. Set the parts on a clean, sturdy work-
surface.
2. Attach the camera top to the uppermost post.
3. Then, attach the stake to the lower post. Twist until it’s firmly in
place.
4. Combine the top (2) portion with the lower (3) portion to complete
the assembly.

2. Choose a place along the low voltage wire in the lawn or
landscaping where the camera’s stake can be inserted into the
ground nearby. Here, the camera will attach to the low voltage
wire.
1. Unplug / disconnect your low voltage transformer. It’s best to turn
power OFF at the circuit breaker or fuse, and test that the power is
OFF before proceeding.

4. Remove the cap from the top of the Wire Connector. Pinch the tabs
on both sides of the Connector, and pull the cap away from its
base.
3. Unearth this portion of the low voltage wire. Make sure there’s
enough slack for it to be easily manipulated.
16
5. Place the low voltage wire into the upper cap of the Connector,
flat against the channel running across the inside of the cap.
Make sure the wire goes completely across the cap, and is aligned
with the channel.
6. Replace the cap over the wire, ensuring that the wire remains flat
in the cap channel.
17
7. Press until the two parts clip and snap into position.
Thicker wires may be difficult to secure, and a clamp or wrench
may help squeeze or press the pieces into place. Do not use a
hammer, as it may damage the components.
18
8. With the Connector attached to the low voltage wires, position
the camera’s stake where it will be installed. Loosely guide the
top of the camera with the palm of your hand. Use your foot to
push down the spike and drive it into the ground.
Note: DO NOT pull on the camera light hood while pushing the
spike down, as this may damage the unit.
9. Once the camera is in place, the Connector and wiring should be
hidden under a stone or burried under grass at a max. depth of
6in. (15.25cm)
