This guide applies to the following camera models: 

*

SDA Mode

: HD3QxxA2SDA, HD3QxxAI2SDA

 CAUTION: Harness Compatibility

Cameras in AHD mode require harness HEHDxx or HExHD (x = length). These harnesses have a blue band located at the 

connector. Cameras in SDA mode may use the same or older model harnesses (without a blue band).

Step 1: Choose Camera Location

1.  

Determine the location for mounting the camera:

•  

Choose a solid surface to minimize vibration

•  

Choose a location away from access panels, hatches, or doors which may block the camera view

•  

Choose a location away from heat sources

•  Do not point IR models directly at a reflective surface.

Cameras are usually installed with cabling running inside wall panels.

2.  

Use the supplied mounting template to mark the cable hole (7/8”) and screw holes (5/32”) on the panel.

3.  

Use a step-bit to drill the cable hole, and regular bits for the screw holes.

Step 2: Connect the Camera

1.  

Connect the camera cable to the extension harness through the panel cable hole.

Important

If the camera will be configured in AHD mode,

 

ensure the extension harness has a blue band in front of the 

connector, indicating it is AHD-compatible

.

2.  Connect the extension harness’s 2x3 Microfit connector to a compatible digital video recorder.
