3 – Getting Started
Mount the camera with the front of the base towards the primary
viewing direction. The camera will rotate (pan) approximately 180

in
either direction from the primary viewing direction.
Your PatrolIR B can be installed with machine screws, washers, and
lock washers as described below.
Step 1 Drill the screw mounting holes per the installation template
provided in paragraph 7.1 “Camera Mounting Template.” on
page 23. A sketch is shown below in Figure 3-3.
Step 2 Check that all the screw holes line up and the front of the
camera base is towards the primary viewing direction. (The
cables exit the rear of the camera base.)
Step 3 Using a 3mm Allen wrench, securely fasten the camera in
place with four M5 socket-head machine screws, flat
washers, and lock washers provided. See Figure 3-4
Step 4 While the quick-connect connections are sealed, it is
recommended that the installer route the control/power and
video cables from the camera to a water-proof junction box
within 30 inches of the camera head. This is the location for
the quick-connect connections to the internal vehicle cables.
