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 / ceiling.

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

Cable notch

To install the camera:

1. Rotate the camera base counterclockwise to

separate it from the ball camera and dome cover.

2. Feed the BNC / power cable through the camera base.

If you are running the cables against a wall or ceiling, make sure to pass the cable through the cable notch as shown above.

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

4. Mount the camera base to the wall or ceiling using the included screws.

Connecting The Camera

To Camera: To Monitor / DVR:

Male power 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.

Setup Diagram

5. Position the dome cover over the camera and screw it clockwise halfway onto the camera base.

6. Move the ball camera to the desired position. While holding the ball camera firmly in place, screw the dome cover the rest of the way to secure it to the camera base.

Holding the camera prevents it from moving while installing the dome cover.

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 Solution

No Picture / Signal

Picture is too bright

• 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 only) forward to block excess light.

• Move your camera to a different location.

Picture is too dark • If using during the day, the camera may not be getting enough light. Slide the sunshade (bullet cameras only) backwards to let more light in.

• 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.

Night vision is not working

Picture is not clear • Check the camera lens for dust, dirt, and 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'.

Bright spot in video when viewing camera at night

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

BNC connection does not connect to my TV

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