Tools you need

To install the camera, you will need:

• 

12 Vdc power source. See 

Specifications

 for voltage and wattage requirements. 

• 

Tools and additional fasteners (may be required) for mounting the camera

• 

Video and power extension cable

• 

CCTV video setup monitor (optional) 

Installation

Before installation: 

• 

Make sure that the device is in good condition and all the assembly parts are included.

• 

Check the specification of the products for the installation environment.

• 

Make sure that the wall or the ceiling is strong enough to withstand 3 times the weight of the camera.

• 

To avoid fire or shock hazard, use only UL listed power supplies. Verify that the power supply will 
provide the rated voltage and wattage for the camera. See the 

Specifications

 section.  

During installation: 

• 

Camera Lens

: Handle the camera carefully to prevent scratching or soiling the lens. If the lens or IR 

array shield becomes soiled, clean it only with approved products. See the 

Cleaning

 section. 

• 

Monitor impedance

: Set the monitor impedance switch to 75 Ω.

• 

Power supply

Camera drop cable

: The camera drop cable includes two connectors: 

 

Video BNC connector

: For transmission of the video signal across a coax (75 Ω) extension cable.

 

Power connector: 

When applying Vdc power, observe the power polarity. See the picture above 

for connector polarity configuration.  

1. 

Using the drill template provided with your camera, mark the location of the screws that anchor the 
base plate to the mounting surface. If you are routing the drop cable through base, also mark the 
position of the hole for the drop cable. 

2. 

Drill holes for the screws that anchor the base to the ceiling. The mounting hardware provided is 
appropriate for most surfaces. However, depending on the surface materials, more appropriate 
fasteners may be required. 

3. 

Drill a 3/4” hole for the drop cable, if necessary. The drop cable can be routed through the mounting 
surface, or through a cable channel in the mounting plate. 

4. 

Route camera video and power extension cables between camera location and the monitoring 
device (monitor, DVR, etc.).

5. 

Remove the mounting plate from the camera assembly
