Connecting the Camera
NOTE
•
It is recommended to connect the camera to your DVR and test the PTZ controls before permanent in-
stallation. For instructions on how to setup PTZ controls, see 5 Controlling the PTZ Camera with your
MPX DVR.
•
When you first power up the camera and connect it to the DVR, it may take up to 2 minutes for the
camera image to appear.
1. Connect the BNC video connector on the camera cable to the included extension
cable.
2. Connect the female 12V DC power connector on the camera cable to the male power
connector on the included extension cable.
3. Connect the BNC cable on the extension cable to one of the Video Input ports on the
DVR. Make note of the port number where you connect the camera, as it will be used
when configuring the DVR to communicate with the camera.
4. Connect the power connector on the extension cable to the included power adapter.
Plug the power adapter into a power outlet.
CAUTION
•
Make sure to disconnect the power adapter before installing the camera. The camera will begin
moving immediately when the power adapter is connected.
