Mounting the camera

The stand on the 700TVL is deceptively adaptable. At first glance it may appear to limit how
many options you have when mounting and aiming the camera, but this is simply untrue.
The 700TVL stand is almost infinitely adaptable – it's like the Rubik's Cube of CCTV camera
stands!
You've got three points of articulation. The most obvious is the locking screw-secured
elbow joint in the centre of the stand (1). This one is pretty obvious and straight forward
– loosen the screw, adjust to the position you want, and then tighten the screw again to
secure in place.
The second point of articulation (2) is the radial joint where the neck of the stand attaches
to the base. To adjust this joint, loosen the locking ring by rotating counter-clockwise.
Rotate the camera and stand to the position you want then tighten the locking ring. By using
articulation points 1 and 2, you can aim the camera in virtually any direction.
Point 3, located where the camera attaches to the stand, is held in place by one locking
screw. Like point 2, it is a radial joint, allowing you to rotate the camera so that no matter
how points 1 and 2 are configured, the camera can still face upright. Simply loosen the
screw, rotate the camera to the upright position (so that up in your pictures is actually up)
then tighten the screw to lock into place.
Of course, there will always be some outlying cases where the camera and stand simply
won't fit where you want to mount them. Maybe you have a hanging awning, or a drain pipe
in an inconvenient spot. In these cases, we suggest obtaining a mounting bracket, which
should be available from any good hardware store.
