Dome Camera

Mounting the Camera

To mount the camera

1. The camera can be mounted onto a flat, vertical or

horizontal surface and must have sufficient strength

to hold the camera. Materials such as hardwood,

brick or masonry are good options.

2. Loosen the three screws located at the base of the

camera then remove the bracket cover and dome

cover.

3. Position the camera in the location you want to

mount it then mark the screw holes on the surface to

position the screws. Using the appropriate screws for

the surface you are mounting to, screw the bracket

into place.

4. If you’re mounting to a wooden surface, screw the

camera directly to the surface.

5. When mounting to a masonry surface, you’ll need

to use the included wall plugs.

Aiming the camera

1. Replace the dome cover and bracket cover.

2. The dome cover can be rotated left or right.

3. The camera can be aimed in almost any direction

from wherever you choose to mount it.

4. After you’ve finished adjusting the camera’s viewing

position, tighten each screw to lock the position in

place.

Positioning the cables

1. When running the cable, try to avoid bending it at

sharp angles.

2. Avoid positioning the cable live electrical wiring. AC

electricity generates radio noise which can interfere

with the signal from your camera.

3. Do not stretch or apply force to the cable greater

than 25lbs/11kgs.

Camera Location Tips

Some things to consider when choosing a location -

1. What you want to monitor and where you’ll get the

best view of it.

2. How you’re going to connect the camera to your

monitoring system; remember that cables and

connections should be kept out of the weather.

3. How to keep the camera out of harm’s way. It’s

recommended to mount your cameras at an elevated

position.

4. Place your camera as close to the area of interest

as practicable. The best position is from about 4m

(13ft) above looking slightly down, keeping in mind the

details you are looking for.

5. Although the sky looks nice when you look at the

live view from your camera, it is an unlikely direction

for an offender to approach, make sure your camera

has minimal sky in it as the light in daylight can make

the foreground of the image darker.

6. Think about the most likely way a potential offender

may approach your home, use your cameras to give

you the best coverage of these areas.

7. The camera’s casing is resistant to water, different

weather conditions and tampering. It would take

an overwhelming event of this kind to damage the

housing of the camera. However, the cable and

connector are vulnerable and require protection.

8. Even though the camera is weather and water-

resistant, prolonged exposure to adverse weather

conditions such as sunlight or excessive moisture,

may eventually damage the internal components of

the camera and adversely affect its performance.

9. When running your cable, try to avoid bending it at

sharp angles.

10. Don’t put your cable near live electrical wiring.

AC electricity generates radio “noise” which can

interfere with the signal from your camera.
