Installation
Before installation:
• Make sure that the device is in good condition and all the assembly parts are included.
• Check the specication 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 Specications section.
Step 1. Mounting the camera
A NB8 camera can be mounted directly to a wall or ceiling. The surface should support at least three times
the weight of the camera and junction box (if used). The LAN/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
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 network LAN and power extension cables to the camera drop cables:
a. Connect the Ethernet LAN cable to the camera LAN drop cable. Protect the connection from
moisture and other contamination, if necessary. A Weatherproof Ethernet Fitting is provided.
Installation instructions for the tting are included later in this document.

WARNING
!
Drop cable connectors are not waterproof. Failure of the power or Ethernet 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.
b. If the camera is not powered using PoE (Power over Ethernet injector), connect the 12 Vdc
power cable to the camera drop cable. The polarity of the drop cable connector is shown in
the drop cable photo above.

CAUTION
Do not apply power to the camera at this time. Before applying power to the camera, ensure that
the polarity is correct. An incorrect connection may cause a malfunction and can damage the
camera.
6. For outdoor installations, seal holes drilled in the mounting surface to block moisture and other
contaminants, if necessary.
7. Secure the camera to the mounting surface using appropriate screws.
8. Apply power to the camera through the 12 Vdc power cable or PoE injector, as congured.
Step 2. Using the Device Configuration Tool software
NOTE: Skip this Step if you are adding your camera directly to the Ethernet connectors on the backpanel if an NVR.
Installation
The Device Conguration Tool is a PC-based network utility for discovery of NTx or NBx cameras for your
N-Series recorder. It provides an easy way to congure the camera’s network settings and reset the camera.
It can be installed on a Microsoft® Windows® (Windows 7 or newer) operating system that has access to
the network where your the cameras are installed. The Device Conguration Tool is available from your
vendor.
1. Acquire the Device Conguration Tool from your vendor. At the time when this document was
published, the le is named: Device Cong Tool_<version>.exe.
2. Run the .exe le on a Windows computer that is connected to the LAN where your cameras are
installed. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation. You may have to open
ports in your rewall. The software automatically opens after it is installed and then searches for
cameras on the LAN. See below.

Modify network settings
Modify the network settings of the camera you are installing to avoid IP address conicts on the LAN. Verify
that the your new settings will be compatible with other devices on the network before continuing. Consult
with your network administrator for specic recommendations, if necessary.
3. Click the entry in the search results list for the camera you are installing. The frame at the bottom of
the window shows User Info (UserName and Password) and Device Info (network settings).
4. Enter the new and compatible network settings in the Device Info eld (see below). Here, the IP
address was changed to 192.168.0.68, and the Gateway was changed to 192.168.0.1.
5. Click Modify, and then slide the Shift Bar to the right. The Status of the modify operation is
shown in the right-most column.

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.

Using the Waterproof Ethernet Fitting
Install the Waterproof Ethernet Fitting on the Ethernet cable end at the camera when moisture or
contamination exists in the area near the camera. The tting includes several parts that must be installed in
a specic order. To install the tting:
1. Place the rubber O-ring over the camera drop cable end cap.
Push the O-ring up to the connector cap.
2. If the network cable from the switch or router has a connector
on the end, cut o the connector.
3. Place the Lock Nut onto the network cable from the router
or switch as shown in the drawing to the right. The inside
threads must be toward the camera end.
4. Place the rubber basket onto the network cable above the lock
nut as shown.
5. Place the end cap onto the network cable above the rubber
gasket as shown. The ngered end must be toward the router
or switch.
6. Install an RJ-45 connector onto the network cable.
7. Plug the RJ-45 connector with the network cable into the
camera network drop cable.
8. Fit the end cap on the network cable onto the camera drop
cable end cap. Rotate the network cable end cap to lock it in
place.
9. Push the rubber gasket fully into the end of the network cable
end cap.
10. Screw the lock nut onto the network cable end cap until it is
fully seated.
