Mounting the Camera
The camera can be mounted onto a flat surface using the screws and wall plugs provided. The flat surface must have sufficient strength to hold the camera.

• Position the camera in the location you want to mount it and mark the screw holes on the surface to position the screws (mounting template included). Then, using the appropriate screws for the flat surface you’re fixing the camera to, secure the camera in place.
• If you’re mounting to a wooden surface, screw the camera directly to the surface.
• If you’re mounting to a masonry surface (bricks, concrete, or similar), you’ll need to use wall plugs.

Aiming the camera

1. Loosen the screw (use a Phillips head screwdriver) to adjust the camera’s orientation. This enables you to rotate the camera so no matter what direction it is facing, your images will be the right way up. Tighten the screw to secure it in place.
2. Loosen the screw to tilt the camera up or down. Tighten the screw to secure it in place.
3. To pan the camera left or right, loosen the screw and position it accordingly. Tighten the screw to secure it in place.

Camera Location Tips

1. Take into consideration what you want to monitor and where you’ll get the best view of it.
2. How you’re going to connect the camera to your monitoring system; remember that cables and connections should be kept out of the weather.
3. How to keep the camera out of harm’s way. We recommended mounting your camera at an elevated position.
4. Place your camera as close to the area of interest as practicable. The best position is from about 13 ft/4 m above looking slightly down, keeping in mind the details you are looking for.
5. Although the sky looks nice when you look at the live view from your camera, it is an unlikely direction for an offender to approach. Make sure your camera has minimal sky in it as the light in daylight can make the foreground of the image darker.
6. Think about the most likely way a potential offender may approach your home, and use your camera to give you the best coverage of these areas.
7. The camera’s casing is resistant to different weath – er conditions and tampering. It would take an overwhelming event to damage the housing.
8. The camera is weather and water-resistant but, prolonged exposure to adverse weather conditions such as sunlight and excessive moisture can damage the internal components.
9. Run cables inside a wall cavity or other protected enclosure, and ensure that all wiring and connectors are insulated and protected from moisture.
10. Don’t put your cable near live electrical wiring. AC electricity generates radio noise, which can interfere with the signal from your camera.
