• Tools and additional fasteners (may be required) for mounting the camera
• Phillips #2 screwdriver

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.
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 a 5 MP HD-TVI compatible recorder.
— Power connector: When applying power, observe the power polarity. See the picture to the
left for the connector polarity conguration.
1. Using the drill template provided with your camera, mark the location of the screws that anchor the
base plate to the mounting surface. If you are routing the drop cable through base, also mark the

appropriate for most surfaces. However, depending on the surface materials, more appropriate
