3. 

Separate the housing and the camera module from the mounting plate. 

4. 

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

5. 

Drill holes for the screws that anchor the base 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. 

6. 

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

7. 

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

8. 

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

9. 

Route the drop cable through the hole, and then adjust the camera on the mounting plate to point 
at your surveillance target. Ensure that the “UP” orientation mark on the camera module (see photo 
to the right) is up. 

10.  Place the housing over the camera module such that the lip is under the two fixed retention tabs. 
11.  Rotate the removable retention tab such that it is over the housing lip, and then screw in the hold 

down screw until it is snug. Do not tighten the screw at this time. 

12.  Connect the camera drop cable to video and power extension cables. 

13.  Connect the other end of the video extension cable to a video monitoring device, such as a 

compatible HD-TVI capable DVR. 

 

NOTE

Drop cable connectors are not waterproof. 

14.  Connect the other end of the power extension cable to a 12 Vdc power source. Observe the polarity 

of the cable shown in the photo on page 1 of this guide. 

Step 2.  Camera adjustments

1. 

Apply power to the camera.

2. 

Verify that video from the camera can be seen on a compatible HD-TVI DVR (QVR) monitor. 

3. 

While observing video from the camera, adjust camera direction, tilt and horizontal alignment to 
point the camera at your surveillance target. 

4. 

While holding the camera module and housing in place, tighten the retention tab hold down screw. 

5. 

Reinstall the bezel. 

Step 3.  Open the OSD menu

The On Screen Display (OSD) provides configuration options for refining the performance of the camera. 
It also can be used to block sensitive portions in the field of view (Privacy). You can open the OSD menu 
system from either the HD-TVI video recorder (QVR) Live View display or through remote login to the ALIBI 
recorder. 

Opening the OSD Menu through the QVR

To open the OSD menu on the QVR monitor: 
1. 

Open the QVR Live View screen, and then click inside the screen where the PTZ camera video image 
is displayed. See below. 

2. 

Click the 

PTZ Control 

icon in the Quick Setting Toolbar. The PTZ camera Live View window will 

expand to full screen and the pop-up window shown below will open.
