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. 

• 

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 an HD-TVI or CVBS compatible recorder.

 

Power connector: 

When applying power, observe the power polarity. See the picture to the 

right for the connector polarity configuration.  

These cameras can be mounted on a wall or ceiling that has sufficient strength to support it. The video/
power drop cable from the camera can be routed either through mounting surface or through a cable 
channel on the edge of the mounting plate. 
1. 

Unscrew the bezel from the mounting plate, and then lift it off of the camera.

3. 

Using the mounting template or the mounting plate, mark the holes for the camera mounting 
screws. 

4. 

Drill holes for the screws that anchor the plate to the mounting surface. The mounting hardware 
provided is appropriate for most surfaces. However, depending on the surface material and strength, 
more appropriate fasteners may be required. 

5. 

Drill a 3/4” hole through the mounting surface for the drop cable, if necessary. 

6. 

If using wall inserts for the mounting screws, install the wall inserts at this time. 

7. 

Attach the mounting plate the surface using the appropriate fasteners. If the camera drop cable will 
route through a cable channel, lay the cable in the channel before tightening the mounting screws.
