Introduction
Choosing a location for your Camera
This camera has an on-screen configuration menu
to configure various image settings as they apply
to the camera and the scene that you wish to view.
•
You should endeavor to set the camera up
close to the area you wish to view before you
install the camera so that you have access to
the joystick and can adjust the image settings.
•
What you want to monitor and where you’ll
get the best view of it.
•
How you’re going to connect the camera to
your monitoring system; you should plan the
route from the recorder to each camera.
•
How to keep the camera out of harm’s way.
It’s recommended to mount your cameras in
an elevated position to prevent easy access.
•
Place your camera as close to the area of
interest as practicable. The best position
is from about 3-4m (9-13ft) above looking
slightly down.
•
Although the sky looks nice when you look at
the live view from your camera, it is an unlikely
direction for an offender to approach from.
Keep the camera pointed down away from the
sky or ceiling. This will also minimize glare
from lighting affecting the image.
•
Think about the most likely way a potential
offender may approach your home and
position your cameras to give you the best
coverage of these areas.
•
The camera’s casing is resistant to water,
different weather conditions and tampering.
However, the cable and connectors are
vulnerable and require protection.
Positioning the cables
•
When running the cable, try to avoid bending
it at sharp angles
•
Avoid positioning the cable near live electrical
wiring as electrical current generates a
magnetic field which can interfere with the
signal from your camera.

Connect the camera’s RS485, Video, Audio and Power connectors to the Video, Audio & Power
cable. Make sure to twist and lock video connectors for a secure connection. Screw in the
RS485 connectors making sure that the red and black line up with the positive and negative
icons on the RS485 connection (check the tag on the camera cable).
Remove the green RS485 terminal block from the PTZ port on the DVR, and then using a
flat-head screwdriver, attach the pair of PTZ wires on the other end of the Video & Power
cable (
RED
to

/

socket,
BLACK
to

/

socket) to the RS485 terminal block. When wiring
connections are complete, plug the RS485 terminal block back into the PTZ port on the DVR.
Connect the camera to a video input on the DVR. For ease in configuring the RS485 settings,
we suggest connecting it to channel 1 initially.
Connect the camera to the power adapter. After the camera is powered on, if you do not see an
image or the image is poor, please check that you are using the correct video output signal for
your DVR. Hold for 2 seconds; Up for Analog, Left for AHD, Right for TVI and Down for CVI.
