Installation 

Before installation: 

• 

Make sure that the device is in good condition and all the assembly parts are included.

• 

Check the specification of the products for the installation environment.

• 

Make sure that the wall or the ceiling is strong enough to withstand 3 times the weight of the camera.

• 

To avoid fire or shock hazard, use only UL listed power supplies. Verify that the power supply will 
provide the rated voltage and wattage for the camera. See the 

Specifications

 section. 

Step 1.  Mounting the camera

A B8V camera can be mounted directly to a wall or ceiling. The surface should support at least three times 
the weight of the camera. The drop cables of this camera are normally routed through mounting surface, 
but can be routed through the cable channel. 

NOTE

If mounting the camera on a wall, ensure that the cable channel in the mounting base is down. 
If mounting the camera on a ceiling, orient the mounting base so that the cable channel is pointing 
away from any source of water, dust, and other contaminates. 

1. 

Acquire the kind of fasteners that will work best for mounting the camera to the ceiling or wall. The 
mounting hardware provided with the camera will work well withe many types of surfaces. 

2. 

Using the camera or the template provided, mark the locations of the mounting screw holes. If 
routing the drop cables through the surface behind the mounting bracket, also mark a 3/4” hole for 
the drop cables. 

3. 

Drill holes in the surface of the mounting location to accommodate the camera fasteners and the 
drop cables. 

4. 

Route the video and 12 Vdc power extension cables from recorder and power source to the camera 
mounting location and out through the hole drilled for the camera drop cables. 

5. 

Connect the video and power extension cables to the camera drop cables. Verify that the power 
cable connector polarity matches the polarity of the power drop cable. 

WARNING

!

Drop cable connectors are not waterproof.

 

Failure of the power or video 

drop cable connector due to moisture or another contaminant is considered an 
installation error, which voids the warranty. Seal all connectors adequately. 

6. 

Set the HD format select switches on the drop cable for the video encoding you prefer to use. See 
the drop cables photo to the left. 

7. 

Route the drop cable through the hole in the mounting surface, then attach the camera assembly to 
the surface using the appropriate fasteners. 

8. 

Apply power to the camera through the 12 Vdc power cable. 

9. 

Verify that you can see video from the camera at the recorder. 

Step 2.  Camera adjustments

1. 

While observing video from the camera, loosen the mounting bracket pan, tilt and rotation 
adjustment lock screws. 

2. 

Point the camera at your surveillance target, and then tighten mounting bracket adjustment screws 
to hold the camera in position.
