ATTENTION
- This camera includes an Auto Mechanical IR Cut Filter. When
the camera changes between Day/Night viewing modes, an audible clicking
noise may be heard from the camera. This clicking is normal, and indicates
that the camera filter is working.
Before installing the camera:
•
Decide whether to run
the cables through
the ceiling (drilling
required) or along the
ceiling.
•
If you run the cables
along the ceiling, you
must run the cable
through the cable notch
on the base. This will
keep the camera base
flush to the ceiling when
mounted.
To install the camera:
1. Use the included mounting template to mark
holes for the mounting screws.
2. Connect the Ethernet cable to the camera
as shown in the section ‘Connecting the
Camera’. If you are running the cables against
the ceiling, make sure to pass the cable
through the cable notch as shown above.
3. Loosen the 3 cover screws and then lift the
cover away from the camera.
