Step 1 – PREPARING TO MOUNT THE CAMERA

Step 3 – INSTALLING THE CAMERA

Step 2 – CABLING THE CAMERA TO EXTERNAL DEVICES

1.

  The mounting surface must bear five times the weight of your camera. 

2.

  Do not let the cables get caught in improper places or the electric line cover to 

be damaged. This may cause a breakdown or fire. 

3.

  For the installation process, remove the junction box and dome cover from the 

camera module. To remove the camera dome, loosen the three (3) screws on 
the dome using the wrench provided with the camera. To remove the junction 
box, loosen the three (3) screws on the camera module using the driver 
provided with the camera. 

4.

  Using the mounting template sheet or the camera’s junction box, mark and drill 

the necessary holes in the wall or ceiling.

5.

  Secure the junction box to the mounting surface. 

7.

  Secure the camera module to the junction box using three (3) screws.

8.

  Use the camera’s 3-Axis gimbal to adjust the camera’s tilt and angle. The 

camera’s maximum tilting angle is 75° (90° for non-IR models).

9.

  Assemble the dome cover over the camera body and detach the protecting film 

from the dome bubble.

6.

  Pass the wires through the mount bracket and make all necessary connections.

a.  

NETWORK CONNECTIONS – If you are using a PoE Switch, connect the 
camera using an Ethernet cable for both data and power.

b.  

NETWORK CONNECTIONS – If you are using a non-PoE switch, connect 
the camera to the switch using an Ethernet cable for data transmission and 
use a power adapter to power the camera.
