The easiest way to mount the outdoor camera to the wall is to mount the
bracket all by itself to the wall first, using the 3 included screws or similar.
Then if you have the threaded mounting post facing forward and the wing nut
slightly tightened, the camera can be rotated onto the mounting post without
the cables getting in the way. Then you’d loosen the wing nut and position the
slot in the ball joint upwards so that the camera can be directed to the desired
viewing angle, and the wing nut and the white plastic disk can then be
tightened to lock this position into place.
Alternatively you can replace one of the camera’s sunshield mounting screws
with the special silver colored hex mounting nut that is supplied in the
hardware bag. This allows attachment of the mounting bracket from above if
you are planning to install the camera under an eave or to a ceiling.
Note: Do not try to remove the silver colored disks at the bottom of the
camera. One is the microphone and the other is the reset button. Attempts to
remove those could cause damage to the camera.
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
should either move the sun shade all the way back or remove it entirely.
A MicroSD card is already pre-installed in the camera. The hardware bag
includes a full size SD to MicroSD adapter in case you ever need to
erase/reformat the MicroSD in a computer with a full size SD card slot.
Since all our outdoor cameras have the PoE feature, for powering the camera
you can choose between using the AC adapter or “power over ethernet” (PoE).
Please note that the AC adapter cannot be exposed to moisture. If you use the
AC adapter outdoors, it would have to go into an outdoor power outlet with a
completely enclosing cover. For example, see “Code Keeper” or similar brands.
If you need more than the 10 ft length of the power cable on the AC adapter,
you could skip the AC adapter and instead power the camera with PoE. That
would allow you to use inexpensive Cat5e network cable to supply power from
up to 300 ft away. Cat5e network cable with the required connectors is
available at Home Depot in convenient rolls of 15 ft, 25 ft, 50 ft and 100 ft.
