Installation
5.1 Installation Tips and Warnings
Make sure to install the camera in a location that can support the camera weight.
• 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.
• It is recommended to install the camera as high up as possible to get the
best possible image.
• Before installing, connect the camera to the DVR and configure the PTZ
protocol information as needed to ensure that you can control the camera
once installed. It is difficult to change the protocol information once the
camera is installed.
• Camera is capable of seeing in extremely low light conditions (0.02 Lux),
but it cannot see in total darkness. It is recommended to install the camera
where there is some ambient light (e.g. street lighting or starlight, moon-
light, etc.) or leave some lighting on in the area where the camera is
installed.
• To extend the length of the cable, see 5.2 Extension Cables, page 6.
• 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 that the camera wiring is not exposed or easily cut.
• Mount the camera in an area that is visible but out of reach.
Note
This camera is suitable for wall mounting only.
5.2 Extension Cables
• Included extension cable is 100ft / 30m long. If you are planning on extend-
ing the camera beyond 100ft, see 5.2.1 Connection Diagrams for Extend-
ing the Cables Over 100ft, page 7.
• Because this is a high-powered PTZ camera, the power cable cannot be
extended beyond 100ft. You may connect the included power adapter di-
rectly to the camera's power connector and plug the adapter into a power
outlet near the camera. Or, you may connect the power adapter to the end
of the 100ft cable.
