INSTALLING THE CAMERA
The camera can be installed directly onto the wall or ceiling. Be sure that the
structure is strong enough to support the camera.
Ceiling and Wall Installation
Dome cameras are ideal for installation on a ceiling or soffit location. If
you are installing the camera on a wall without a bracket, see
“
Consideration for Wall Installations
.”
7. Remove the dome cover following the instructions on the
sticker on the base of the camera.
8. Use the included mounting template to pre-drill holes for the
mounting screws and, if passing the cable through the ceiling
or wall, drill a ¾” hole.
9. Connect an Ethernet cable to the dongle on the camera.
•
Protect the network cable connection from water damage
by running the cord inside a wall or ceiling, or through
conduit
•
For outdoor installations, seal any holes in the wall or
ceiling with silicone caulk to protect against water
intrusion.
10. Affix the base of the camera to the wall with the included self-
tapping screws and wall anchors.
11. Adjust the position of your camera.
12. Replace and secure the dome cover.
Consideration for Wall Installations
When installing a dome camera on a wall without a bracket, you are
limited in the direction that you can point the camera lens. Dome
cameras should point out perpendicular to the wall surface.
If you choose to turn the camera to point parallel to the wall surface the
video image will be sideways.
Note
If the video image is upside down after installation, you can flip
the image 180º. For instructions to rotate the video, see
