permanent installation. For instructions on how to setup PTZ controls, see 6 Controlling
the PTZ Camera with your DVR, page 16.

When you first power up the camera and connect it to the DVR, it may take up to 2 mi-
nutes for the camera image to appear.

The video signal can be extended up to 800ft (244m) with a single cable run. See 5.2
Extension Cables, page 6 for details.

tension cable.
2. Connect the female AC 24V power connector on the camera cable to the
male power connector on the included extension cable.

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.
