the dome cover.
2. Rotate the camera base counter-clockwise to separate it
from the ball camera and dome cover.
3. Use the included mounting template to mark and drill holes
for the included mounting screws.
4. Feed the camera cable through the camera base.

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.
