Junction box front plate
3.
Using the box or drill template as a guide, mark and then drill three holes for the screws that will
attach the box to the wall or ceiling. If the extension cables will be routed into the box through the
mounting surface, also drill a hole, if needed, for the extension cables.
4.
Attach the box to a wall or ceiling with three screws.
5.
Route the video, power and earth ground extension cables into the box. If installing an earth
ground, attach it to the termination on the inside of the box.
6.
Connect the video extension cable to the camera video BNC drop cable connector. If the camera is
in an environment where dust, moisture or other contaminants are present, seal this connection
adequately to prevent contamination.
WARNING
!
Failure of the power or video drop cable connectors due to moisture or another
contaminant is considered an installation error, which voids the warranty. If
installing this camera in a location such as an overhang, shop, garage, kitchen, etc.
where high humidity or dust is present, seal these connections adequately.
7.
Connect the 12 Vdc power extension cable to the 12 Vdc connector on the camera drop cable. Seal
the power cable connectors as needed from moisture and other contamination. The polarity of the
drop cable connector is shown below.
8.
If the camera is installed in a moist or humid environment, attach an earth ground cable to the
ground terminal on the camera body.
CAUTION
Before applying power to the camera, ensure that the polarity is correct. An incorrect connection
can damage the camera.
9.
Apply power to the camera. A video image from the camera should appear in the DVR Live View
display, or in the Live View display of a remote login to the DVR.
10. Continue with "Step 3. Select the video format" on page 3.
Installing the camera onto a wall or ceiling
1.
Using the drill template provided, mark the location of the screws that anchor the mounting base to
the mounting surface. If mounting the camera onto a wall where moisture or other contaminants
are present, arrange the template and adjust the camera so that the cable channel is down or away
from the source of the contaminants.
2.
If you are routing the drop cable through mounting surface, mark the position of the hole for the
drop cable.
3.
Drill holes for the screws that anchor the base to the mounting surface. The mounting hardware
provided is appropriate for most surfaces. However, depending on the surface materials, more
appropriate fasteners may be required.
4.
If routing the drop cable through the mounting surface, drill a 5/8” hole in the middle of the drill
template.
5.
Connect the video extension cable to the camera video BNC drop cable connector. If the camera is
in an environment where dust, moisture or other contaminants are present, seal this connection
adequately to prevent contamination.
WARNING
!
Failure of the power or video drop cable connectors due to moisture or another
contaminant is considered an installation error, which voids the warranty. If
installing this camera in a location such as an overhang, shop, garage, kitchen, etc.
where high humidity or dust is present, seal these connections adequately.
6.
Connect the 12 Vdc power extension cable to the 12 Vdc connector on the camera drop cable. Seal
the power cable connectors as needed from moisture and other contamination. The polarity of the
drop cable connector is shown below.
CAUTION
Before applying power to the camera, ensure that the polarity is correct. An incorrect connection
can damage the camera.
7.
Store or conceal excess extension cable appropriately, and then attach the camera to the ceiling or
wall. Ensure that the Switch Button drop cable remains accessible for changing the video format, if
necessary.
