4. Install the Camera

CAUTION: Camera and PCB Wiring

While installing the camera, do not impact the printed 

circuit board or wiring inside the camera with screws or 

screwdriver bits. Damage to the camera can occur.

Use the three #10×3/4” mounting screws supplied with the 

camera to attach the camera to a wall or ceiling. 

 

See Figure 3.

The mounting gaskets on the camera base seal the screw 

and cable holes when mounted on a flat surface.

TIP: Allow Camera Ventilation

The camera is designed to vent for proper operation. 

Do NOT apply silicone or other sealants around the 

base of the camera.

1.  Rotation

: depending on how the camera is mounted, 

rotate the camera lens so the video appears upright on 

the video monitor.

2.  Pan

: grip the camera pan adjustment U-Bracket sides 

and twist it to find the required view.

3.  Tilt

: loosen the tilt adjustment screws on the U-Bracket 

until the camera tilts. Tighten the tilt screws after 

adjustments are complete. Do not adjust tilt after 

tightening screws. 

TIP: Do Not Adjust Other Screws

The HD3S camera is factory adjusted for lens 

position. Sliding back the gimbal may result in the 

camera seeing parts of the housing.

TIP: Check Video Output from DVR

After replacing camera housing, ensure the 

desired field of view is achieved. Adjust if camera 

housing obstructs the view.

BLC: helps improve image quality when back lighting is strong.

WDR: helps reduce glare for scenes with simultaneous wide variance in lighting.

External LED

OFF: IR is disabled. Use in product configurations where IR is not required.

AUTO: (default) IR LEDs illuminate automatically upon HD3S sensing a low light 

condition.

Ensure closing the cover does not pinch the wire 

connecting the cover to the base. This can allow 

moisture to enter and damage the unit.
