Installation
Before installation, give thought to a suitable mounting location and how you will route wiring back
to the Power Adapter and the home’s router or access point. The camera is typically mounted on an
outside wall with power and Ethernet brought to the Electrical Box from indoors. The power supply
will be plugged into an indoor wall receptacle as shown on page 4 and 6.
The ideal mounting height for the PoolScout Camera is 7-10 feet off of the ground tilted downward.
The Alarm Module must mount close enough to the camera so that the Alarm Cable will reach.
Factor in an additional length that will be routed through the back of the Alarm Module.
The final mounting location should allow for a clear view of the entire pool and surrounding area at
all times. Do not allow anything such as sunshades, basketball hoops or other pool side objects to
block the camera’s view, even temporarily.
The ideal mounting location:
•
should provide an unobstructed view of the pool and at least 6 feet of the surrounding area
•
should allow for convenient two way audio with people in the pool area
•
should be 7-10 feet off the ground
•
shouldn’t interfere with its surroundings or be vulnerable to damage
•
should be accessible from the inside of the exterior wall where the PoolScout will be mounted
•
should allow for the 100 foot ethernet cable to be run from the home network’s access point
•
should allow for the 100 foot power cable to be run from the power adapter
•
should allow for the alarm module to be mounted less than 3 feet away from the camera
If satisfied with the proposed mounting location, mark the spot.
Camera Adjustment
The PoolScout will fasten to the supplied Electrical Box and its mount has a fully articulating hinge.
By loosening the locking screws, you can rotate the mount and camera as shown in the diagram
