Installing the Camera

7. Attach the Ceiling Mount Cover to the camera.

Align the mark (o) on the Ceiling Mount Cover with the LED of the camera, and rotate the
cover counterclockwise to the mark (I) to secure it.

Tip

If the cables cannot be fit in the roof space, because the ceiling is concrete for example,

or they cannot be in the Ceiling Mount Cover, cut the notch of the Ceiling Mount

Cover with a plier to provide a notch to pass the cables through. In this case, attach

the Ceiling Mount Cover first, then connect the cables.

8. When you finished mounting the camera, reboot the camera to initialize the

camera position (

Mounting is now complete.

Setting Up the Camera

Note

Ensure that the Ceiling Mount Cover is attached securely.
