Mounting the Camera

To mount the camera, use the supplied mounting hardware (screws). If you're mounting
onto a wooden surface, you can drive the screws directly into the wood. You may need to
drill guide holes first, particularly if mounting the camera onto hardwood. If mounting on
masonry or similar surface, use the included wall plugs.
The camera mounts to a flat surface, such as the underside of a ceiling or a sturdy wall.
• Using the included star-key tool, remove the dome cover.
• Choose the most appropriate port to run the cable out of.
• If you're going to run the cable into the roof or ceiling cavity, then prepare a hole
in the ceiling which will line up with the hole in the top of the dome base. Use a
high-quality sealant to ensure complete waterproofness.
• If you're planning to run the cable on the exterior of the ceiling/wall, then undo
the small protective cap on the side of the dome base and run the cable out that
way. Note that this will reduce the weather resistance of the camera unless it is
properly sealed with a high-quality sealant.
• Attach the dome base to the ceiling using the included mounting screws, we
recommend you put some silicone sealant under each screw head to prevent moisture
entering the camera case.
Aim the camera, and adjust the zoom and focus controls (see section Adjusting Zoom
•
and Focus for details) to get the image that you want. It can be really helpful to have
a television or monitor on hand so you can see what you're doing! Help from an able
assistant never goes astray, either.
• The dome cover only mounts one way - that is, the cable-out port on the side of the
dome base means that the cover will only slide on when correctly oriented. If you've
changed the default position of the camera, this may mean you'll need to re-orient the
plastic dome cover.
• On the underside of the dome cover there are two screws which are responsible
for holding the plastic dome in place.
• Using a precision screwdriver, loosen the two small screws, and slide the tabs
aside.
• Rotate the plastic component of the dome so that the transparent window lines
up with the orientation of the camera.
• Re-orient the tabs and tighten the screws to hold the plastic dome in place.
• Re-attach the dome cover. When re-attaching the dome cover, ensure the foam ring
that is fitted around the lens is tight against the inside of the clear plastic dome and
that the spring is correctly in place. This will isolate the camera lens from the infrared
LEDs and help cut down the light reflecting into the lens. It is very important that you
do this; otherwise you may not get a clear picture during night vision. If you see bright
spots in the picture, remove the dome cover and adjust the foam ring accordingly.
• Secure in place by tightening the screws.
