Installation Tips
• See images to the right for ideal setup.
It is recommended to place
your camera at least 7ft (2.1m) above the ground and angle it slightly
downward toward the monitoring area, excluding any busy areas (e.g.,
sidewalks or roadways).
• Ensure the camera image is free of obstructions (e.g., tree branches).
• Position the camera no more than 20ft (6.1m) away from the area you
wish to monitor.
• See the “Optimizing Motion Detection” section to customize motion
settings for each camera on your system.
• For best performance, position the camera so that objects of interest
will move from side-to-side across the camera image, rather than
moving towards or away from the camera.
• Install the camera within range of the recorder (noted in the camera’s
WTIGMƼGEXMSRW
• Test your camera’s connection to the recorder prior to selecting a
permanent mounting location.
• This camera is weather resistant for outdoor use (IP66 rated).
Installation in a sheltered location is recommended.

for 30 seconds
appears.
3. Press and hold the pair
button on the back of the
camera for 3 seconds.
NOTE:
A “pairing successful” message should appear on screen. If you do not see this message,
repeat the steps above.
U222A Series
To pair cameras using the recorder:
• Hover the mouse pointer near the top of an empty
channel and click
.
• You will then have 30 seconds to press and hold the pair
button on the back of your camera (shown above).
To install your cameras:
1. Set the mounting bracket in the desired mounting
position. Mark holes through the mounting
bracket (shown as blue X’s on the right).
2. Drill holes where marked for the mounting
screws using the included drill bit (item C in
toolkit).
3. Secure the bracket to the mounting surface
with the included mounting screws (×4).
Make sure all screws are fastened tightly using
the included screwdriver (item A+B in toolkit).
NOTES:
• Insert the included drywall anchors if you are
mounting the camera onto drywall.
• The hole at the top of the mounting bracket
will be used in step 5, once the camera is attached
to the mounting plate.
4. Lower the camera base onto the mounting
bracket so the 2 tabs in the mounting bracket
lock into the 2 slots in the camera base.
ATTENTION:
This camera includes an Auto Mechanical IR Cut Filter. When the camera changes between Day/Night viewing modes,
