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 wall / ceiling
when mounted.
