what’s included
• Carefully plan the camera position and cable route.
• Select a dust-free location providing a clear view of the
area you want to monitor, and that is not in a strong
light source such as direct sunlight.
• Do not install the camera in a location exposed to high
humidity or rain.
• Select a location for the camera that has an ambient
temperature between -4°F (-20°C) and 122°F (50°C).
• Plan the cable’s route so it is not close to power or
telephone lines, transformers, microwave ovens, or
other electrical equipment that could interfere with the
system.
• If you plan to install the camera in a location with
harsh conditions, consult with a professional installer
and consider using a camera cover or housing (not
included).
• Beforepermanentlymountingthecamera,rstsetup
and hold the camera in the desired location and check
its performance on the monitor.
• To illuminate the camera’s viewing area beyond that of

the mounting surface, drill a third hole at least
14 mm in diameter.
To mount the camera, loosen the screw
from the base of the camera’s neck, and insert the
camera onto the arm of the wall mount bracket.
Secure the camera by tightening the screw.
If mounting to a drywall, drill the drywall
