3.1 INSTALLATION TIPS AND WARNINGS
Make sure to install the camera in a location that can support
the camera weight.
Make sure there are no live electrical cables in the area
where you plan to mount the camera.
• Camera is rated for outdoor use and is weatherproof using included
wall mount only. For indoor installations, camera may be directly
attached to a ceiling.
• Before installing, connect the camera to the DVR and configure the
PTZ protocol information as needed to ensure that you can control
the camera once installed. It is very difficult to change the protocol
information once the camera is installed.
• Camera is capable of seeing in extremely low light conditions (0.02
Lux), but it cannot see in total darkness. It is recommended to install
the camera where there is some ambient light (e.g. street lighting or
starlight, moonlight, etc.) or leave some lighting on in the area where
the camera is installed.
• To extend the length of the cable, see “Extension Cables” on page 8.
• Mount the camera where the lens is away from direct and intense
sunlight.
• Plan your cable wiring so that it does not interfere with power lines
or telephone lines.
• Ensure that the camera wiring is not exposed or easily cut.
• Mount the camera in an area that is visible but out of reach.
