Once you have chosen the best position for the camera, switch the
power to the camera off, and unplug the power lead from the
camera.
When mounting the Bulldog Camera to your ceiling or wall, please
ensure that you rotate the camera so that at the top of the camera
lens is ‘up’, otherwise you will find that your pictures are displayed
upside down. (see diagram)
Hold the camera base in the position you wish to fix it, and mark the
holes with an appropriate pen or pencil. Once this is done, remove
the stand and drill a hole with the appropriate drill bit for the material
you are mounting your camera to and the screws you are using.
Run the camera cable back to the TV/VCR, any holes that you drill
need to be at least 14mm in diameter to allow the connectors to
pass through.
Reconnect the power lead to the camera and switch the camera
power back on.
