MOUNTING YOUR CAMERA

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 and IR LED range.

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. Indoor cameras should never be placed outside.

Weatherproof cameras will not work when submerged. 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. The IR LEDs act like a ﬂashlight and will create a reﬂection that will obscure

events on the other side of the glass.

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, will produce inadequate results.

DOME CAMERAS

STEP 1. The mounting base on the dome cameras will need to be removed prior to

installing the camera. The method for removing the base varies by the model

STEP 2. Once the base has been removed, position it where you want to mount the

camera and use it as a template to mark where to drill the holes for the included

mounting screws.

STEP 3. Remove base and drill out holes

STEP 4. Insert plastic expanders into holes

STEP 5. Use included screws to mount base to surface.

STEP 6. Attach camera to base.

Be careful not to leave ﬁngerprints, dust or debris inside the camera’s dome!
