Step 3.  Install a microSD card (optional)

Install a microSD card in the camera to save alarm and status information locally, and to locally save 
video and captures files. Refer to the 

Specifications

 section for storage card requirements. The storage 

card can be a 

microSD/SDHC/SDXC card, up to 128GB. 

NOTE

: The card can be formatted within the 

camera, if necessary. To install the card: 
1. 

Rotate the turret within the shroud and turret assembly to gain access to the maintenance panel 
cover.

seconds when the camera is powering on or rebooting. Reset will deactivate the camera and restore 
the default IP address, port number, configuration settings, etc.

3. 

Push the microSD card into the slot until it is fully seated, and then release it. When installed 
properly, it will slide into the slot smoothly, and be held in place after release. 

4. 

Reinstall the maintenance panel cover. 

Step 4.  Install the camera

Install the adapter plate 

The camera can be mounted onto a wall or ceiling, or onto one of the brackets list above in the 
introduction. 

The mounting surface should support at least four (4) times the weight of 

the camera.

 

1. 

To attach the adapter plate using a ALI-AB1, ALI-AB2, ALI-AA1, ALI-AJ1 or ALI-AA2 
bracket

a. 

Install the bracket

b. 

Attach the adapter plate to the bracket using the screws provided. 

2. 

To attach the adapter plate to a mounting surface: 

a. 

Use the drill template or the adapter plate, mark the location of the holes for the mounting 
screws. Use the three holes marked “1” for mounting screws to attach the camera to a 
surface. If routing the cables into the camera through the mounting surface, mark the 
location of the opening in the adapter plate for the cables. 

b. 

Drill holes in the mounting surface where needed for the fasteners and cable routing. 

c. 

Attach the adapter plate to the mounting surface using three screws.

Connect the interface cables

3. 

Connect the network LAN and power extension cables to the camera drop cables: 

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 later in 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 
in the drop cable photo above. 

CAUTION

Do not apply power to the camera at this time. Before applying power to the camera, ensure 
that the polarity is correct. An incorrect connection may cause a malfunction and can damage 
the camera. 

4. 

For outdoor installations, seal holes drilled in the mounting surface to block moisture and other 
contaminants, if necessary. 

5. 

Reattach the camera to the adapter plate. Note that the lip on the turret and shroud assembly is 
held in place by the two tabs on the adapter plate (see photo above), and the tab (with the fixing 
screw) is slid inwards over the lip to secure the camera to the plate. Tighten the fixing screw 
enough to so the tab doesn’t slip off the lip.
