First test the camera prior to installing by connecting the
camera and cable to the DVR.
2. Plan how to run the cables either through or along the
wall or ceiling where drilling may be required. Cable

cable through the cable notch present at the base of the
camera.

cable is not long
enough
For alternate cabling refer to the Cable
Options section.
Cable Options
The video and power cable provided with the camera
covers a cable run distance of 60 feet. If the cable
provided is not sufficient, alternate cables can be used,
depending on the cable type as shown below.
1 RG59 Coaxial Siamese Cable
for Video and Power
300ft or 91m max cable
distance
2 RG59 Coaxial Cable for only
Video
1000ft or 305m max
cable distance
Key Points
If the cable run distance is above 300ft (91m), the power
source should be near the camera. If not the quality of
video will be affected.
A single stretch of cable should be used between the
Camera and the DVR. Do not use cable with multiple
connections.
If a video balun is used to extend the distance, it should
support a resolution of 2MP or above.
If the cable run distance used is too long, then you will
notice that the video is distorted and unclear and some-
time permanently black and white.
1. One end of the cable shall be connected to the camera
and the other end to the AHD DVR
2. On camera side, connect the male power connector
and the BNC Connector to the camera
3. On the DVR side, connect the BNC connector to one of
the video inputs on your DVR. There can be 4, 8 or 16
Video Inputs based on the AHD DVR Configuration.
4. On the DVR side connect the female power connector to
the power adapter splitter.
