4.1 Installation Tips and Warnings
• Camera is rated for outdoor use. It is recommended to install the camera in
a sheltered area, such as under the eaves on a roof.
• Use the included wall mounting bracket for wall installation. Otherwise, the
camera image will be sideways. You can also refer to the included installa-
tion diagram guide for wall mounting instructions.
• Camera is capable of seeing in low light conditions (0.1 Lux), but it cannot
see in total darkness.
It is recommended to install the camera where there is some ambient light (for exam-
ple, street lighting or starlight, moonlight, etc.) or leave some lighting on in the area
where the camera is installed.
• Mount the camera in a location that can support the camera weight.
• Mount the camera where the lens is away from direct and intense sunlight.
• Plan your cable wiring so that it does not interfere with power lines or tele-
phone lines.
• Ensure you adhere to local building codes.
• Ensure that the camera wiring is not exposed or easily cut.
• Mount the camera in an area that is visible but out of reach.
This camera is suitable for ceiling mounting. Wall mounting requires included wall mount.
4.2 Installation (Indoor/Outdoor)
The camera includes all necessary components for ceiling mounting and wall
mounting. For full instructions on each type of mounting, see 4.2.1 Wall
Mounting or 4.2.2 Ceiling Mounting.
Before installing the camera, decide whether to run the cables through the
wall / ceiling (drilling required) or along the wall / ceiling. If you run the cables
along the wall / ceiling, you must run the cable through the cable notch on the
dome camera base. This will keep the dome camera base flush to the ceiling
when mounted.
