Installing the Camera

ATTENTION - Test all connections and ensure the camera is working correctly prior to permanent installation by temporarily connecting the camera(s) and cable(s) to the viewing / recording solution.

Before installing the camera:

• Decide whether to run the cables through the wall / ceiling (drilling required) or along the wall / celing.

• If you run the cables along the wall / ceiling, you must run the cable through the cable notch on the Cable Notch base. This will keep the camera base flush to the wall / ceiling when mounted.

To install the camera:

1. Set the camera in the desired mounting position and mark holes for the screws.

2. Drill the holes for the mounting screws.

3. Connect the video and power cables as shown in the next section ‘Connecting The

Camera‘.

4. Feed the cable through the cable notch (if running the cables along the wall / ceiling) or through the mounting surface (if running the cables through the wall / ceiling).

5. Mount the camera stand to the desired surface using the provided screws. Make sure all three screws are fastened tightly at the connection points.

6. Set the position and angle of the camera using the provided Allen key.

2. Loosen the screw near the stand and adjust the camera’s vertical position.

1. Twist the ring to tighten/ loosen the stand connection and adjust the camera’s horizontal position.

3. If needed, loosen the screw near the camera and twist the camera head on the mounting stand.

Connecting the Camera

To Camera:

Male Power

Attach the included BNC to RCA adapter to connect the extension cable to RCA inputs (i.e. for a TV connection).

Setup Diagram

To Monitor/DVR:

Female Power

BNC

Connect the BNC and power connectors to the camera

Connect the BNC connector to the video input of the monitor /

DVR, and connect the included power connector to a power adapter. See Setup Diagram below for details.

BNC to RCA Adapter (Optional)

ATTENTION - This camera includes an Auto Mechanical IR Cut Filter. When the camera changes between Day/Night viewing modes, an audible clicking noise may be heard from the camera. This clicking is normal, and indicates that the camera filter is working.

Cable Extension Options

Extend the cable run for your camera up to 300ft or more depending on the cable type used. See table below:

Notes:

1. For optimal performance, consider using option 2 or 3. It is best to use the same cable type for the entire distance.

2. Cable run recommendation based on typical camera power consumption

(up to 500mA). For specialty cameras with higher current consumption, maximum cable run may be reduced. Consider providing power to the camera at the camera side, rather then at the end of the extension cable.

3. Indicators that your cable run may be too long:

• Video is permanently black & white (even during day time)

• Video is distorted

Troubleshooting

Problem

No picture / signal

Picture is too bright

Solution

• Ensure your TV is on the correct input channel.

Common terms of an input channel: INPUT, AV

CHANNEL, LINE1, LINE2, AUX.

• If your camera is connected to a

VCR / DVR, ensure it is properly connected to your TV / Monitor.

• Ensure connections are properly connected.

• Ensure the camera power supply is plugged in.

• Ensure your camera isn’t pointed directly at a source of light (e.g. sun or spot light).

• Slide the sunshade (bullet cameras featuring adjustable sunshades only) forward to block excess light.

• Move your camera to a different location.

Picture is too dark

Night vision is not working

Picture is not clear

Bright spot in video when viewing camera at night

BNC connection does not connect to my TV.

• If using during the day, the camera may not be getting enough light. Slide the sunshade

(bullet cameras featuring adjustable sunshades only) backwards to let in more light.

• Check the brightness and contrast settings of the device your camera connects to (TV /

Monitor / DVR).

• The night vision activates when light levels drop. The area may have too much light.

• Check the camera lens for dirt, dust, spiderwebs. Clean the lens with a soft, clean cloth.

• Make sure that the cable run is within the limitations specified in the section ‘Cable

Extension Options’.

• Night vision reflects when pointing a camera at a window. Move the camera to a different location.

• Use a BNC to RCA adapter at the end of the extension cable.
