Get to know your NightRunner!
The different parts of your camera are labelled here:

Once  you

ʼ

ve  established  a  suitable  fixing  position,  offer  the 

camera  into  place  to  mark  off  the  six  Surface  Fixing  Positions 
and the cable clearance position.
The  camera  is  supplied  with  6  x Stainless  Steel,  1/4”x3/4”  self 
tapping  screws.  Drill  pilot  holes  accordingly  and  use  a  30mm 
hole saw to create the cable entry hole.

When  the  CAT5 cable  is correctly terminated (see next section), 
offer  the  camera up  into the fixing  position  and  firmly screw  into 
place.

Observe  extreme  caution  when  siting  the  camera.  Ensure  the 
act  of  drilling  the  pilot  holes  and  cable  entry  hole  does  not 
infringe any cables, equipment or  fixtures behind  the panel  onto 
which the camera is to be installed.

To  avoid  moisture  ingress  between  the  bottom  of  the  camera 
and  the  surface  onto  which  the  camera  is to  be attached, apply 
a  bead of  suitable  silicone  sealant around  the  edge of  the  plate 
to create a seal.
