Connecting the Camera2
To connect the camera to your NVR, simply connect the supplied Ethernet cable to the LAN connection on the
camera then plug the other end of the cable into one of the camera inputs on the back of your NVR.
Please note: The power connector is provided as an alternative power option if required. Your NVR will
provide power over the Ethernet cable when connected and a separate power adapter is not required.

Step 2: You will see a black cable (2) connected to the camera, which
in turn is connected to the camera bracket’s black cable.
Rotate the seal cap (3) clockwise and gently pull apart the connection
to disconnect. Remove the dome camera from the camera bracket.

Step 3: Position the mounting bracket in the location you want to
mount the dome camera to. Using a pencil or magic marker, mark
the mounting holes (4) and hole (5) for the camera’s cable.
Use a hole saw that you can attach to a drill to make a hole for the
cable. A large drill bit can also be used.

Step 4: Using the appropriate screws for the surface you are
mounting to, secure the bracket in place. If mounting to a wooden
surface, screw the bracket directly to the surface. If mounting to a
masonry surface (brick or concrete), you’ll need to use the supplied
wall plugs.
Step 5: Connect the supplied Ethernet cable to the camera’s cable
(see Fitting the Weather Protector to seal the connection). Reconnect
the black cable on the camera to the black cable connected to the
bracket. Rotate the seal cap anti-clockwise to tighten.
Sit the dome camera onto the camera bracket (as shown above right),
then place the dome enclosure into the camera bracket and lock it
in place. The camera can be rotated left or right (rotate the camera
bracket left or right as well) or up and down. Check the image on your
NVR and make adjustments as necessary.

Fitting the Weather Protector5
The weather protector provides a weather-resistant shield for the camera’s Ethernet connector to prevent
damage from moisture, dust, and other external factors that could interfere with the electrical connection. We
also recommend you seal the joins with electrical tape to ensure a more weatherproof seal.

Ethernet Cable
1. Place the Rubber-O-ring around the Camera
Ethernet Connector.
2. Carefully push the Ethernet Cable through the Seal
Cap and then the Seal Tube.
3. Connect the RJ45 Connector on the Ethernet Cable
to the Camera Ethernet Connector ensuring the
locking tab securely clicks in.
4. Align the lugs inside the Seal Tube to the Camera
Ethernet Connector, then rotate the Seal Tube to
lock it in place. The Rubber O-ring should become
slightly bulged when the Seal Tube has been correctly
connected.
5. Gently open the pre-cut slit of the Foam Weather
Seal and wrap it around the Ethernet Cable between
the Seal Tube and the Seal Cap. Push this into the
Seal Tube until it is almost all the way in.
6. Firmly push the Seal Cap over the end of the Seal
Tube and rotate it clockwise to screw it on to the Seal
Tube. Continue to tighten until the Foam Weather
Seal bulges slightly from the end.

Camera Location Tips6
1. Take into consideration what you want to monitor
and where you’ll get the best view of it.
2. How you’re going to connect the camera to your
monitoring system; remember that cables and con-
nections should be kept out of the weather.
3. How to keep the camera out of harm’s way. We
recommended mounting your camera at an elevated
position.
4. Place your camera as close to the area of inter-
est as practicable. The best position is from about
13ft/4m above looking slightly down, keeping in mind
the details you are looking for.
5. Although the sky looks nice when you look at the
live view from your camera, it is an unlikely direction
for an offender to approach. Make sure your camera
has minimal sky in it as the light in daylight can make
the foreground of the image darker.
6. Think about the most likely way a potential offender
may approach your home, use your camera to give
you the best coverage of these areas.
7. The camera’s casing is resistant to different weath-
er conditions and tampering. It would take an over-
whelming event to damage the housing.
8. The camera is weather and water-resistant but,
prolonged exposure to adverse weather conditions
such as sunlight and excessive moisture can damage
the internal components.
9. Run cables inside a wall cavity or other protected
enclosure, and ensure that all wiring and connectors
are insulated and protected from moisture.
10. Don’t put your cable near live electrical wiring. AC
electricity generates radio noise, which can interfere
with the signal from your camera.
