Installation
Before installation:
• Make sure that the device is in good condition and all the assembly parts are included.
• Check the specication of the products for the installation environment.
• Make sure that the wall or the ceiling is strong enough to withstand 3 times the weight of the camera.
• To avoid re or shock hazard, use only UL listed power supplies. Verify that the power supply will
provide the rated voltage and wattage for the camera. See the Specications section.
During installation:
• Camera Lens: Handle the camera carefully to prevent scratching or soiling the lens. If the lens or IR
array shield becomes soiled, clean it only with approved products. See the Cleaning section.
• Power supply: Camera drop cable: The camera drop cable includes two connectors:
—Video BNC connector: For transmission of the video signal across a coax (75 Ω) extension
cable to an HD-TVI compatible recorder.
—Power connector: When applying power, observe the power polarity. See the picture to the
left for the connector polarity conguration.
Mounting the camera
A B5 camera can be mounted directly to a wall or ceiling, or with a junction box. The surface should
support at least three times the weight of the camera and junction box (if used). The video/power drop
cable from the camera can be routed either through mounting surface or through a cable channel in the
mounting base.
• Mounting the camera directly to a wall or ceiling without the optional junction box
Typical ceiling mounting
NOTE
If mounting the camera on a wall, ensure that the cable channel in the mounting base is down.
If mounting the camera on a ceiling, orient the mounting base so that the cable channel is pointing
away from any source of water, dust, and other contaminates.
1. Using the drill template provided, mark the location of the screws that anchor the mounting base
to the mounting surface. See the note above. If you are routing the drop cable through mounting
surface, also mark the position of the hole for the drop cable.
2. Drill holes for the screws that anchor the base to the mounting surface. The mounting hardware
provided is appropriate for most surfaces. However, depending on the surface materials, more
appropriate fasteners may be required.
3. If routing the drop cable through the mounting surface, drill a 5/8” hole in the middle of the drill
template.
4. Route the drop cable through the hole in the mounting surface, or through the cable channel in the
mounting base, then attach the camera assembly to the surface using the appropriate fasteners.
5. Connect the camera drop cable to video and power extension cables as required.
6. Connect the other end of the video extension cable to an HD-TVI compatible video monitoring
device (DVR) digital video recorder such as the R4, R8 or R16 recorder.

WARNING
!
Drop cable connectors are not waterproof. Failure of the power or video connector
due to moisture or another contaminant is considered an installation error,
which voids the warranty. If installing this camera in a location such as an
overhang, shop, garage, kitchen, etc. where high humidity or dust is present,
seal these connections adequately.
7. Connect the other end of the power extension cable to a 12 Vdc power source. Observe the polarity
of the cable shown in the photo on page 1 of this guide.
• Mounting the camera with a junction box
The optional junction box is shown below. It can be attached to a wall or ceiling. Video and power
extension cables can be routed in through the opening in the back of the box or through the conduit
coupling, and attached to the camera drop cables inside the enclosure.

To use the junction box:
1. Remove the front plate from the box by removing the three screws (see above).
2. Attach the front plate to the camera mounting base using three screws. If the box will be wall
attached to a wall, ensure that the “UP” label on the mounting plate is at the top of the camera, and
the cable channel in the camera mounting base is toward the bottom of the camera.
3. Using the junction box as a guide, mark and then drill three holes for the screws that will attach the
box to the wall or ceiling. If the extension cables will be routed into the box through the mounting
surface, also drill a hole for the extension cables.
4. Attach the box to a wall or ceiling with three screws. Ensure that the wall or ceiling will support at
least three times the weight of the camera with the junction box.
5. Route the video and power extension cables into the box.
6. Attach the video and power extension cable to the camera drop cables. Observe the polarity of the
power cable connector as shown on page 1 of this guide.
WARNING
!
Drop cable connectors are not waterproof. Failure of the power or video connector
due to moisture or another contaminant is considered an installation error,
which voids the warranty. If installing this camera in a location such as an
overhang, shop, garage, kitchen, etc. where high humidity or dust is present,
seal these connections adequately.
7. Re-attach the front plate (with the camera) to the box.
Camera adjustments
1. Apply power to the camera.
2. Verify that video from the camera can be seen on the monitor.
3. While observing video from the camera, loosen the mounting bracket pan lock screw, and tilt and
rotation adjustment lock screws, point the camera at your surveillance target, and then tighten
adjustment lock screws to hold the camera in position.

Cleaning
Clean the camera dome with an approved glass cleaning solution and a lint free cloth.
• Dust can be removed from the unit by wiping it with a soft damp cloth. To remove stains, gently rub
the surface with a soft cloth moistened with a mild detergent solution, then rinse and dry it with a
soft cloth. Do not use benzene, thinner or other chemical products on the camera assembly; these
may dissolve the paint and promote damage of the surfaces.
• Remove all foreign particles, such as plastic or rubber materials, attached to the camera housing.
These may cause damage to the surface over time.
