surface. 

9. 

Drill holes in the mounting surface for the 
mounting screws, and drop cable, if needed. 

10.  Attach the base to the mounting surface using 

three screws. If the drop cable will be routed 
through the side of the base, lay the drop 
cable through a cable channel in the base

WARNING

!

Failure of the power or Ethnernet connector due to moisture or another 
contaiminant is considered an installation error, which voids the waranty. If 
installing this camera in a location such as an overhang, shop, garage, kitchen, etc. 
where high humidity or dust is present, seal these connections adequately. 

b. 

If the camera is not powered using PoE (Power over Ethernet injector), connect the 12 Vdc 
power cable to the camera drop cable. The polarity of the drop cable connector is shown 
below.

Step 1.  Install the camera

Before installing the camera, 

• 

Make sure the device in the package is in good condition and all the assembly parts are included.

• 

Make sure your power source matches the requirements for your camera. Power requirements are 
shown in the 

Specifications

 section at the end of this document. 

• 

Check the 

Specifications

 section for the recommended installation environment. 

• 

Make sure that the mounting surface is strong enough to withstand four times the weight of the 
camera (and the bracket, if used).

• 

Make sure the field of view has no reflective surfaces close to the IR emittter of the camera. These 
surfaces can bounce IR light back onto the camera lens, limiting performance in dark environments. 

1. 

Determine the best fasteners for securing the camera to mounting surface. The mounting hardware 
provided is suitable for most surfaces. Note that the drop cable can be routed through the mounting 
surface, or out the side of the base and trim ring.
