Before You Start
Things to keep in mind when deciding where to install the camera:
n
Consider camera viewing angles, lighting conditions, line-of-sight obstructions, and in-wall
obstructions.
n
If the IR Remote Commander will be used, ensure that nothing blocks the IR lens in the camera's base.
n
Ensure that the camera body can move freely and point away from the ceiling and lights.
Prepare for a successful installation:
n
Be sure you can identify all cables correctly.
n
Check Cat-5 cables for continuity.
n
Ensure that the video resolution switch and the DIP switches are set appropriately. See
.
n
Talk to the network administrator.
If installing the camera with a Quick-Connect USB or Quick-Connect
USB Mini in a non-DHCP network (one that does not automatically assign IP addresses), you will need
to configure the camera with a static IP address as directed by the network administrator
before
connecting it to the network.
Installing the Wall Mount
The camera is shipped with a Thin Profile Wall Mount. Other mounting options are available as well.
Contact us if you don't have the camera mount you need.
You can install the camera wall mount to a 2-gang wall box or directly to the drywall.
n
If you mount it to drywall, use the wall anchors provided with the wall mount.
n
If you mount it to a wall box, use the cover plate screws supplied with the wall box.
