Content Verification:
Before installing the Security Camera System, please make sure that the following items are included in the box:
☑ Digital Video Recorder (DVR)
☑ Security camera(s)
☑ Power supply(ies)
☑ Multi-purpose power/video cable(s)
☑ DC power adapter(s) (“pigtails”)
☑ Optional equipment (e.g., monitor/display, battery backup, surge suppressor, etc.)
Note: We strongly recommend verifying the contents of the individual components listed above. If contents are missing and/or
damaged please contact customer service at [phone] within three (3) business days.
Physical Installation:
Step 1: Cable Installation – Before installing each multi-purpose power/video cable, we highly recommend
performing a thorough site survey to determine camera mounting locations and cable pathways. e most frequently
encountered problem when installing pre-made, Universal Plug-n-Play (UPnP) power/video cable is incorrectly
orienting the cable. is is particularly troublesome when, say, the cable(s) is/are installed prior to sealing a wall.
Tech Tip: Use a permanent marker or labeler to mark the end of the cable that correctly matches the camera BEFORE
installing the cable. Most entry-level security cameras include a molded female DC power jack designed for tool-less
connection to the cable’s male DC power plug. A correctly oriented cable requires no additional mating adapters, splices, or
similar cable modications. is completes the cable installation step.

Step 2: Camera Connections – With cable installation out of the way, it is now time to begin mounting and
connecting the security cameras. Camera mounting instructions dier from camera to camera with most installations
falling into the following categories:
•Bullet Cameras - Most bullet-style camera manufacturers include 3 to 4 self-tapping screws for securing the
camera’s included mounting bracket to most at vertical or horizontal surfaces. Screw anchors may also be
included for mounting the camera to sheet rock, concrete block, brick, wood, or stuccowork.
•Dome Cameras – Dome cameras are primarily designed for horizontal mounting, however, an increasing number
of manufacturers provide highly maneuverable 3-axis (pan, tilt, & twist) gimbals & elongated dome bubbles
for increased mounting exibility. Elongated dome bubbles (“egg domes”) are especially useful when vertically
mounting night vision dome cameras because they increase the camera’s overall Field of View (FoV) while
simultaneously reducing undesirable Infrared (IR) reections & glare. (Please consult the supplied camera manual
for detailed installation instructions.)
With the cameras installed and in place, begin connecting camera-to-cable by rst mating the camera’s female BNC
(Bayonet Neill-Concelman) connector to the cables male BNC connector. Next, mate the camera’s female DC power
jack to the corresponding male DC power plug.
Tech Tip: Video/power connections are NOT weatherproof. Enclosing them in a weatherproof, single-gang electrical junction
box, or j-box, can protect exposed connections. J–boxes are inexpensive and can be found in the electrical aisle of most
hardware or home improvement stores. is completes the camera installation & connection step.

Step 3: Power Connections – Security Camera Systems ship with one of two types of power supply units -- plug-in
(wall tap) transformers or, centralized (multi-camera) power supplies. Wall tap transformers are very similar to those
used to power common household electronic devices, such as cordless telephone receivers. Wall tap transformers are
supplied with all (4)-camera security systems. Multi-camera power supplies employ a single transformer to distribute
power via a predened number of outlets. Multi-camera power supplies provide the following system benets:
•Power Management –true multi-camera power distribution.
•Cable Management –safely & eciently manage multiple cables.
•Surge Protection –Individual fuse-or circuit breaker-protected outputs.
Plug-in Xfmr. – Wall taps supplied with (4)-camera security systems include short extension cords (approx. 3-4 .)
terminated with a single male DC power plug. Insert the male DC plug into the power/video cable’s female DC jack.
Multi-camera – Power/video cable is not designed to interface directly with the multi-camera power supply. A male DC
power adapter “pigtail” is required to connect the cable’s female DC power jack to the appropriate power supply output
terminals.
Tech Tip: Obey proper DC voltage wiring conventions by adhering to the following color-coded wire designations:
Red = Positive (+), Black = Negative (-). AC power supplies use alternating current, so polarity does not have to be observed.
