Positioning and Mounting
Indoor cameras:
The included desktop stand can also be used for wall or ceiling mounting. For some angles you
may need to loosen the main mounting ring by turning the big flat screw on the back of the bracket with a coin, so
that the notch in the mounting ring allows the pin to point in the desired direction. You can then tighten it again
with the coin. Should any mounting position require the image to be rotated 180 degrees (inverted), there is a
setting for that in the “camera setup” menu.
Outdoor cameras: Before mounting, you should first become familiar with the camera indoors. Once installed.
Cameras cannot be returned for refund.
Loosen the set screen at the side of the bracket with the included hex wrench to allow adjustment of the angle. To
mount the camera under an overhang, you can replace one of the sunshade mounting screws with the included
special mounting nut to allow attachment of the camera bracket from above.
Please note that the sunshade can be mounted in several positions depending on your needs. If it extends forward
it can do a better job reducing glare from the sun as well as keeping the lens glass dry in light rain or snow. On the
other hand, reflections of IR light from the underside of the sunshade would make the entire picture appear foggy,
so for maximum night vision range you would either move the sun shade all the way back or remove it entirely.
The outdoor cameras are completely weatherproof including the connection box at the wire ends. If not fished
through a wall, the wire ends can be placed inside the small metal waterproof electrical box. This also helps
simplify further connections to optional equipment such as an alarm system, control relay, or amplified speakers
for the new bi-directional audio feature. See connection details towards the end of this User Guide.
Please note that after initial setup only the power cable is required for the Wi-Fi outdoor camera. The POE
outdoor camera can be either connected with power cable and Cat5, or optionally just with a Cat5 cable that is
connected to an 802.3af POE compatible switch or router. We recommend the NetGear FS108P switch.
