Resources
• Ensure your camera is placed as close to your receiver as possible.
• Reduce the number of obstructive materials between the camera and
the receiver. Concrete, brick, metal and wood are the most common
materials in your house that can cause poor signal strength.
To ensure the best possible wireless performance, it is
recommended to keep the following installation tips in mind
when choosing a location for the camera:
• Point the camera where there is the least amount of obstructions (i.e.,
tree branches).
• Install the camera where vandals cannot easily reach.
• This camera is rated for outdoor use. Installation in a sheltered location
is recommended.
• The camera uses the 2.4GHz band exclusively. Most new routers
support both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. It is recommended to use other
WiFi-connected devices using the 5GHz band when possible to ensure
the 2.4GHz band is not overcrowded.
• Other electronic devices such as microwaves, TVs, cordless phones,
and baby monitors can cause signal interference. It is recommended to
install the camera as far away from these devices as possible.

To install your camera:
Installing the Camera
Cable
Notch
IMPORTANT:
• Test your camera prior to selecting a permanent mounting location by
temporarily connecting the camera and cable to your DVR.
• Ensure the camera is no more than 700ft (213m) away from the wireless
receiver in an open field (with line of sight between antennas). The range
is approximately 115ft (35m) or less in an indoor environment, depending
if there are walls or obstructions between the camera and receiver.
• Review the ‘Installation Tips’ section before choosing a mounting
location for the camera.
Before Installing the Camera
• Decide whether to run the cables through the
wall / ceiling (drilling required) or along the
wall / ceiling.
• If you run the cables along the wall / ceiling,
you must run the cable through the cable
notch on the base. This will keep the camera
base flush to the surface when mounted.
1. Use the included mounting template or camera base to mark
holes for the included mounting screws. Drill holes where
marked.
NOTE: Ensure one of the included antennas is properly
attached to the camera.
