The camera can be mounted onto a flat surface using screws. The surface must have sufficient strength to hold the camera.
•
Position the camera in the location you want to mount it, and mark the screw holes on the surface to position the screws. Then, using
appropriate screws for the surface you're fixing the camera to, secure the camera in place.
•
If you're mounting to a wooden surface, then screw the camera directly to the surface.
•
If you're mounting to a masonry surface (bricks, concrete or similar), then you'll need to use wall plugs.
Aiming the camera
Mounting the Camera
1. Loosen the screw (use an Allen key) to adjust the camera's orientation. This enables you to
rotate the camera so no matter what direction it is facing, your images will be the right way
up. Tighten the screw to secure in place.
2. Loosen the screw to tilt the camera up and down. Tighten the screw to secure in place.
3. To pan the camera left and right, loosen the screw and position accordingly. Tighten the
screw to secure in place.
1. What you want to monitor and where you’ll get the best view of it.
2. How you're going to connect the cameras to your monitoring system; remember that cables and connections should be kept out of
the weather.
3. How to keep the cameras out of harm's way. It's recommended to mount your cameras at an elevated position.
4. Place your cameras as close to the area of interest as practicable. The best position is from about 13ft/4m above looking slightly
down, keeping in mind the details you are looking for.
5. Think about the most likely way a potential offender may approach your home, use your cameras to give you the best coverage of
these areas.
6. Run cables inside a wall cavity or other protected enclosure, and ensure that all wiring and connectors are insulated and protected
from moisture.
7. Don’t put your cable near live electrical wiring. AC electricity generates radio “noise” which can interfere with the signal from your
cameras.
