2. 

Route an Ethernet cable from your network switch or network video recorder, and the camera 
mounting location. The camera can be powered with PoE, or through a 12 Vdc source. If powering 
the camera from a 12 Vdc power source, route the power cable to from the power source to the 
mounting location. Power plug polarity is shown in the drawing to the right. 

Do not apply power 

to the power cable at this time.

 

3. 

See the drawing to the right. Rotate 
the trim ring counter-clockwise, and 
then lift it off the camera assembly.

To restore the camera with its default configuration (including 

    user name, password, IP address, etc. press and hold the 

RST

    button for 10s when the camera is power on or rebooting. 

8. 

Use the drill template to mark holes 
for the mounting screws and drop 
cable hole in the surface. 

9. 

Drill holes in the mounting surface for 
the mounting screws, and drop cable, 
if needed. For outdoor installations, 
seal holes drilled in the mounting 
surface to block moisture and other 
contaminants.

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 before tightening the 
screws. 

11.  To reassemble the camera, 

a. 

Connect the Ethernet LAN cable to the camera LAN drop cable. Protect the connection from 
moisture and other contamination, if necessary. A Weatherproof Ethernet Fitting is provided. 
Installation instructions for the fitting are included at the end of this document.

WARNING

!

Failure of the power or Ethernet connector due to moisture or another contaminant 
is considered an installation error, which voids the warranty. 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 emitter 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.
