When installing your camera, it is important to select a proper site not only for field of view, but
for other considerations as well:
Distance from viewing/recording device. The further the camera is from the DVR or monitor, the
higher the chances of signal degradation. Typical 75Ω Video Cable provides acceptable signal
at distances up to 200’ (30m). At greater distances, UL-Listed shielded RG59 should be used.
The camera’s power supply should be located as near to the camera as possible when the
distance exceeds 200’ as the power level will drop over extended distances resulting in a
decrease in video quality.
Do not place near high voltage wires or other sources of electrical interference. Electrical
interference will degrade the quality of the signal.
Place camera out of reach to avoid damage.
Avoid direct exposure to weather. Do not place the camera where rain or snow will hit the lens
directly nor should the camera be placed so that the sun or bright light shines directly into the
lens. Your camera is weatherproof, but it will not work when submerged in water. Ensure that
all power and video connections are not directly exposed to water and are protected from the
elements.
Do not place camera behind a window. If there is a light source behind the camera, it can cause
a reflection in the window that will obscure events on the other side of the glass. Likewise,
the camera’s infrared LEDs will reflect off the glass and shine into the lens, thus degrading the
image.
Light levels should be approximately the same between camera and target area. A camera in a
brightly-lit area looking into a shaded area, or vice versa, may produce inadequate results.
INSTALLING THE CAMERA
The above are guidelines and the optimal
location for your camera will depend on your
unique circumstances. As a general rule, the
locations highlighted in green in the picture to
the right indicate the best locations to mount
your camera. Both locations are sheltered
from rain or snow and offer good sight lines
to allow your camera to monitor a wide
area. Because your camera is weatherproof,
it requires less protection than weather-
resistant cameras and it can be placed in
more exposed locations if needed. Keep in
mind that this camera is designed to operate
between 14°F to 122°F (-10°C to 50°) with a
relative humidity of up to 95%) and consider
wind chill and other environmental factors
when selecting your location.
Your camera comes with both a ceiling and
wall mount. Where you locate your camera
will determine which mount you will need to
use. The mounting surface must be sturdy
and able to hold at least five times the
camera’s total weight.
MOUNTING THE CAMERA
STEP 1. Mount the bracket on the desired
surface. If you are running the cable into
the wall, it is best to drill a large enough
hole to prevent the cable from catching on
anything and allowing the cable extending
from the camera to be easily pushed
through.
STEP 2. Run the cable up from the
camera and through the bracket.
STEP 3. Secure the camera to the
bracket with the included bolts.
IMPORTANT! Do not allow the camera cable to be subject to pinching, tight
bends or other severe constriction as part of its final installation position as this
can damage the cable over time leading to signal loss or potential fire hazard.
Take precautions to ensure a clear work area below the camera mounting point during
installation as a falling camera can cause injury or damage.
