3. Using a drill bit slightly smaller than the included screw anchors, drill into the
mounting surface using the guide marks you placed in the previous step.

place, insert screws and tighten until secure.
6. Once the base is screwed in place, make sure that the camera is securely
mounted by placing gentle pressure on the mount.
7. Adjust the camera housing to point in the direction of the area you would like

Mounting the Cameras
Camera distance from viewing/recording device.
The further the camera is from the DVR
or monitor, the higher the chances
of signal degradation. The camera’s
power supply should be located
as near to the camera as possible
when the distance exceeds 200’
as the power level will drop over
extended distances resulting in video degradation.
Do not place near high voltage wires or other sources of electrical interference.
Electrical interference will degrade the quality of the signal.
Place camera out of reach to avoid vandalism.
Avoid direct exposure to weather.
Do not place the camera where rain or snow will
hit the lens directly nor should the camera be placed so that the sun or bright
light shines directly into the lens. Your camera is weatherproof, but it will not work
when submerged in water. Ensure that all power and video connections are not
directly exposed to water and are protected from the elements.
Mounting surface.
The mounting surface must hold at least four times the
camera’s total weight.
1. Locate a camera and choose a location where you would like to mount the
camera.
2. Indicate screw positions by marking three holes on the surface where you plan
to mount the camera, using the holes in the camera base as a guide.
Connect all cameras locally before final placement to
ensure that all components function properly.
