Important instructions
1.
Make sure the camera is fixed correctly and stable
if fastened in place.
2.
Never place strain of any kind on the network ca-
ble connection. It’s designed to clip into the Ethernet
port, but it won’t support weight and can be broken.
3.
Do not operate if wires and terminals are exposed.
Important note:
All jurisdictions have specific laws
and regulations relating to the use of cameras. Be-
fore using any camera for any purpose, it is the buy-
er’s responsibility to be aware of all applicable laws
and regulations that limit the use of cameras.
1.
Take into consideration what you want to monitor
and where you’ll get the best view of it.
2.
How you’re going to connect the camera to your
monitoring system; remember that cables and
connections should be kept out of the weather.
3.
How to keep the camera out of harm’s way. It’s
recommended to mount your camera at an elevated
position.
4.
Place your camera as close to the area of interest
as practicable. The best position is from about
13ft/4m above looking slightly down, keeping in mind
the details you are looking for.
5.
Although the sky looks nice when you look at the
live view from your camera, it is an unlikely direction
for an offender to approach. Make sure your camera
has minimal sky in it as the light in daylight can make
the foreground of the image darker.
6.
Think about the most likely way a potential offender
may approach your home, use your camera to give
you the best coverage of these areas.
7.
The camera’s casing is resistant to different
weather conditions and tampering. It would take an
overwhelming event to damage the housing.
8.
Even though the camera is weather and water-
resistant, prolonged exposure to adverse weather
conditions such as sunlight or excessive moisture,
may eventually damage the internal components of
the camera and adversely affect its performance.
9.
Run cables inside a wall cavity or other protected
enclosure, and ensure that all wiring and connectors
are insulated and protected from moisture.
10.
Don’t put your cable near live electrical wiring. AC
electricity generates radio “noise” which can interfere
with the signal from your camera.

To connect the camera to your NVR, simply connect the supplied Ethernet cable to the LAN connection on the
camera then plug the other end of the cable into one of the IP camera inputs on the back of your NVR.
Please note:
The power connector is provided as an alternative power option if required. Your NVR will
provide power over the Ethernet cable when connected and a separate power adapter is not required.
