 Loosen the adjustment ring by turning it 

counter-clockwise. Rotate the arm of the camera up to 360°, then  

tighten the adjustment ring against the base.

 Use a Phillips head screwdriver (not included) 

to loosen the adjustment screw closest to the camera base. Bend the 

arm of the camera up to 90°, then tighten the screw.

ATTENTION: 

Test your camera prior to selecting a permanent mounting location by 

temporarily connecting the camera and cable to your DVR.

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.
