Installation Tips and Warnings
• Camera is rated for outdoor use. It is recommended to install the camera in a sheltered
area, such as under the eaves on a roof.
• Use the included wall mounting bracket for wall installation.
Otherwise, the camera image will be sideways. You can also refer to the included
installation diagram guide for wall mounting instructions.
• Camera is capable of seeing in low light conditions (0.1 Lux), but it cannot see in total
darkness.
NOTE
It is recommended to install the camera where there is some ambient light (for example, street lighting
or starlight, moonlight, etc.) or leave some lighting on in the area where the camera is installed.
• Mount the camera in a location that can support the camera weight.
• Mount the camera where the lens is away from direct and intense sunlight.
• Plan your cable wiring so that it does not interfere with power lines or telephone lines.

Extension Cables
• The included extension cable is 60ft (18.2m) long. If you are planning on extending the
camera’s video cabling beyond 60ft (18.2m), see 4.2.2
Connection Diagram for Extend-
ing the Cables Beyond 60ft (18.2m)
.
• Because this is a high-powered PTZ camera, the power cable cannot be extended be-
yond 60ft (18.2m). You may connect the included power adapter directly to the cam-
era’s power connector and plug the adapter into a power outlet near the camera.
• The RS-485 wires on the camera cable are for service purposes only.
• You can extend the camera’s video with a single cable run of up to 800ft / 242m long
(not included). Video quality may decrease if your extension cable is too long. For this
setup, you must purchase a single run of RG59 coaxial extension cable.
It is recommended to use a video cable with the following specification: RG59U 95%
Braid 20AWG or better.
NOTE
RG59 coaxial cable should be available from your local building supply store.
