Tighten the camera brace up against the camera to secure it into place.3. Unlock the mounting post by turning the wingnut to the left a few turns.4. Set the mounting post to the correct angle, then tighten the wingnut until the post is locked into place.5. Attach the antenna to the rear of the camera. 6. Connect one end of an AC adapter to the camera’s power pigtail and plug the other end into a 120 volt AC (standard indoor) power outlet. (If necessary, connect the extension cord to the camera’s pigtail and connect the AC adapter to the extension cord.)7. Make sure the Power status light turns on. If it doesn’t, try reconnecting the AC adapter, and make sure the power outlet isn’t controlled by a wall switch.1243Loosen the wingnut to unlock the mountingpost.Attach the camera to the mounting screw and turn it to the desired direction.Adjust the post to the correct angle, then tighten the wingnut to lock the post into place.Tighten the brace against the camera tosecure itin place.AntennaPower(Link button not shown)
