1 Select the position for the camera and install a mounting bracket (supplied).
Screws and anchors are supplied. Use an appropriate screw type for the mounting surface.
2 Screw the camera on the bracket. Tighten the lock nut to secure the camera on
the bracket.
3 Adjust camera to the proper view angle. Make sure the lens is upright relative to your
subject. Tighten the thumb bolts.
4 Connect the power and video connectors to the corresponding connectors on the BNC
cable (supplied).
The cables are not weather resistant and should be sheltered from moisture, rain, and
sunlight.
5 Connect the BNC and power cable connectors to the power and video connectors at the
monitor-DVR.
Note: When installing cameras on an external wall, pass the power cable through the
wall as close as possible to the cameras to reduce the chance of tampering with
the cables. After drilling any hole though an external wall for cable, make sure
the hole is sealed up around the cable using a sealant.
