Dimensions 3.3" / 83mm 3.9" / 3.3" / 99mm 83mm Using the RJ45 Cable Gland (Optional) The RJ45 cable gland covers the camera's Ethernet connector and the RJ45 plug to provide weather-resistance and protection from dust, dirt and other environmental contaminants. Ethernet The RJ45 cable gland is pre-attached to the included Ethernet extension cable. Extension Cable RJ45 Cable Gland To use the RJ45 cable gland: Twist the RJ45 cable gland barrel securely onto the camera Ethernet connector. RJ45 Cable Gland Barrel Camera Ethernet Connector NOTE: The RJ45 cable gland is weather-resistant. Seal the cap with silicone and/or electrical tape for additional sealing if it will be exposed to precipitation regularly. Cable Extension Options Extend the cable run for your camera. Additional extension cables sold separately. See table below: Cable Type Max Cable Run Distance Max # of Extensions CAT5e (or higher) Ethernet cable 300ft (92m) 3 � You can use a RJ45 coupler or switch (not included) to connect male ends of Ethernet cable together. � To extend the cable run beyond 300ft (92m), a switch will be required (sold separately). Important Installation Guidelines Optimizing Person and Vehicle Detection Accuracy: � Angle the camera so that objects of interest appear in the bottom of the camera image. � Choose a location where objects of interest will be no further than 50ft (~15m) from the camera. Lower accuracy for objects further away than 50ft (~15m) and/or in the top of the image. Optimal accuracy for objects within 50ft (~15m) and in the bottom of the image. � Angle the camera between 30~60� down from the level position. � Install the camera between 8-16ft (2.5-5m) off of the ground. NOTE: Accuracy of person and vehicle detection will be influenced by multiple factors, such as the object's distance from the camera, the size of the object, and the height and angle of the camera. Night vision will also impact the accuracy of detection. Level position (i.e., ceiling) Optimal angle range Additional Installation Tips: � Point the camera where there is the least amount of obstructions (e.g., tree branches). � Install the camera where vandals cannot easily reach. � Secure cabling so that it is not exposed or easily cut. � This camera is rated for outdoor use. Installation in a sheltered location is recommended. � Smart motion detection is enabled by default. When enabled, the camera's recording frame rate is 20 frames per second. � To obtain the maximum 30 frames per second, smart motion detection must be disabled. Safety Precautions � Read this guide carefully and keep it for future reference. � Follow all instructions for safe use of the product and handle with care. � Use the camera within given temperature, humidity and voltage levels noted in the camera's specifications. � Do not disassemble the camera. � Do not point the camera directly towards the sun or a source of intense light. � Use only the supplied regulated power supply provided with the product. Use of a non-regulated, non-conforming power supply can damage the product and void the warranty. � Periodic cleaning may be required. Use a damp cloth only.

Installation in a sheltered location is recommended. Installing the Camera ATTENTION: Test your camera prior to selecting a permanent mounting location by temporarily connecting the camera and cable to your NVR. 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. Cable Notch To install your camera: Drywall Anchors Camera Base Mounting Surface Mounting Screws Dome Camera 1. Use the included mounting template to mark holes for the mounting screws and camera cable. 2. Drill holes for the mounting screws and camera cable. 3. Feed the camera cable through the camera base. If you are running the cables against a wall or ceiling, make sure to pass the cable through the cable notch as shown above. 4. Connect the cables as shown in the section `Connecting the Camera'. 5. Mount the camera base to the mounting surface using the included screws and optional drywall anchors. 6. Angle the dome camera as shown below. 7. Use the included Allen key to tighten the dome camera all the way. 8. Remove the vinyl film from the camera lens when your installation is complete. Connecting the Camera Ethernet Cable Camera NVR Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the NVR's PoE ports. The camera may take a minute to power up after being connected. (Optional) 12V DC Power Connect the Ethernet cable to the camera. NOTES: � For weatherproofing instructions, see "Using the RJ45 Cable Gland (Optional)". � A 12V DC power adapter (model#: CVA4902, not included) is only required if connecting the camera's Ethernet cable to a router or switch that does not support PoE. OR Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to a router or switch on your network. See your NVR manual for details on connecting the camera to your NVR using a switch or router.
