Installation
Before physically installing your camera, make sure the mounting surface can support up to 3x the weight of the
camera.
1) Remove the base portion of the camera by twisting it and remove it from the top portion of the bracket.
2) Locate the position in which you would like to place your camera and using the base of the camera, mark
the installation holes with a marker on the mounting surface. These holes will be used to drill the holes needed to
mount your camera.

3) Using a drill bit that is the same diameter or slightly smaller diameter than the included drywall wall
anchors, drill the 4 holes and insert the wall anchors into the holes.
Note: The wall anchors should be in the same bag as the screws and a designed to secure the screws onto the
mounting surface.
4) Attach the power cable and BNC cabling to the camera. (If you are running the cables through a mounting
surface, use a 1” paddle bit to bore a hole for the cables.)
5) Place the base of the camera on the wall anchors lining the holes to the mounting surface. Then, using a
Phillips head screwdriver, secure the screws and base of the camera to the mounting surface.
Note: To adjust the camera, you can loosen the adjustment screws near the base of the camera. Adjust the
position as desired and tighten when complete.
Connection
To connect your camera to your DVR, please follow the steps provided below:
Step 1: Connect a BNC (coaxial) cable to the video out connection of your camera.
Step 2: Connect the male end of the DC power connector of the BNC (coaxial) cable to the female end of the power
connector of the camera.
Step 3: Connect the BNC (coaxial) cable to a video out channel on the back of your DVR.
Step 4: Connect the male end of the DC power connector of the power adapter to the female end of the power
connector of the BNC (coaxial) cable. Plug in the power adapter to apply power to the camera.
