Disclaimers

ATTENTION: 

•  Test your camera prior to selecting a permanent mounting location by temporarily connecting 

the camera and cable to your NVR.

•  Review the section “STEP 1: Important Installation Guidelines” above before choosing a 

permanent mounting location.

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 

surface when mounted.

Cable Notch

To install your camera:

1.  Use the included mounting template to mark holes for the screws. Drill 

holes for the mounting screws. 

 

NOTE:

 Insert the included drywall anchors if you are installing the camera 

in drywall.

2.  Connect cables as shown in the section “Connecting the Camera”.
3.  Feed the cable through the mounting surface or cable notch and mount 

the camera stand to the surface using the provided screws. 

4.  Use a Philips head screwdriver (not included) to loosen the adjustment 

screws shown below. Adjust the camera position as needed:

A. 

Rotate the camera 

base 360°. 

B. 

Tilt the camera on 

the stand up to 90°. 

C. 

Twist the camera 

around the stand 360°.

5.  Tighten the adjustment screws to secure the position.
6.  Remove the vinyl film from the camera lens when your installation is 

complete.

Additional Installation Tips:

•  Point the camera where there is the least amount of obstructions (e.g., tree branches).

•  Install the camera where vandals cannot easily reach.

•  Secure cabling so that it is not exposed or easily cut.

•  This camera is rated for outdoor use. Installation in a sheltered location is recommended.

STEP 1: 

Important

 

Installation Guidelines

Optimizing Person and Vehicle Detection Accuracy:

•  Angle the camera so that objects of interest appear in the bottom 

 of the camera  

 image. 

•  Choose a location where objects of interest will be no further than 50ft (~15m) from  

  the camera.

Optimal accuracy 

for objects within 

50ft (~15m) and in 

the bottom

 ⅔ 

of the 

image.

Lower accuracy for 

objects further away 

than 50ft (~15m) and/

or in the top

 ⅓ 

of the 

image.

•  Angle the camera between 30~60° down from the  

  level position.

•  Install the camera between 8-16ft (2.5-5m) off of  
  the ground.

STEP 2: 

Installing the Camera

Level position (i.e., ceiling)

Optimal 

angle 

range

NOTE: 

Accuracy of person and vehicle detection will 

be influenced by multiple factors, such as the object’s 

distance from the camera, the size of the object, and 

the height and angle of the camera. Night vision will 

also impact the accuracy of detection.
