Important safety instructions.s Introduction

With a vari-focal camera, you have some flexibility on where the camera can be mounted. 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 DVR; remember that cables and connections should be kept out of the weather. 3) It’s recommended to mount your cameras at an elevated position to keep out of harm’s way. 4) Make sure your camera has minimal sky in it as the light in daylight can make the foreground of the image darker. 5) Think about the most likely way a potential offender may approach your home. 6) The camera’s casing is resistant to water and tampering. However, the cable and connector are vulnerable and require protection. 7) 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. 8) When running your cable, try to avoid bending it at sharp angles. 9) Don’t put your cable near live electrical wiring. AC electricity generates radio “noise” which can interfere with the signal from your camera. 10) A vari-focal camera allows you to adjust between its top and bottom limits on its view angle. This means that you have the ability to manually set both the view angle and level of zoom. Have a scenario where you need to zoom in on a gate or other access point? Use the 12mm setting (27° and about 4x zoom). Need a wide angle view? Go with 2.8mm (65°). Need something in between? Try 6mm (43°) or 9mm (30°).

1. Connect the video output and power input connection on the camera to the corresponding connections on the video & power cable. 2.

The camera can be mounted onto a flat, vertical or horizontal surface using the supplied mounting screws. The surface must have sufficient strength to hold the camera. Hardwood, brick or masonry surfaces are recommended. • Remove the three screws located at the base of the camera. Position the base in the location you want to mount it, and mark the screw holes on the surface to position the screws. Secure the base using the appropriate screws for the surface you are mounting to. • If you’re mounting to a wooden surface, screw the base directly to the surface. • When mounting to a masonry surface, you’ll need to use the included wall plugs. • Screw the camera module to the base but don’t overly tighten each screw. Aiming the camera: • The dome cover can be rotated left or right. • The camera module can be aimed in almost any direction from wherever you choose to mount it. • Use the zoom function to adjust the viewing angle and the focus function to sharpen the image. • After you’ve finished adjusting the viewing angle, tighten each screw to lock the camera module’s position in place. Positioning the cables: • Avoid bending the cable at sharp angles. • Avoid positioning the cable near live electrical wiring. AC electricity generates radio noise which can interfere with the signal from the camera.
