Pre-Delivery/Install Checklist

• Because the mounting hardware and camera lens is enclosed in a high-impact dome, dome
cameras are more secure against vandalism. For the same reason, dome cameras require
more effort and care to install.
• Available with fixed lens (HD320) and Autofocus Zoom Lens (HD820).
• Optional mounting accessories for dome cameras are available from AvertX
.
Where should I place my cameras?
Camera placement is crucial to getting clear video. Here are a few tips to get the most of your cameras:
• Mount cameras at least 10ft off the ground for best field of view and to ensure the camera is
out of reach of an intruder.
• Do not point cameras directly into the sun or highly reflective surfaces.
• Avoid placing cameras in areas where water may flow freely during rainfall – mounting under
eaves or overhangs is ideal.
• Run camera cables out of sight and reach to avoid tampering
• For more information about camera placement, consult the AvertX DIY Corner
How will I run the cables?
• Your system or camera kit includes 100ft of Cat5e cable. This should work for most installations,
however if more cable is required it must be purchased separately and cannot exceed 300ft per
camera unless a PoE injector is installed along the line.
• Run Ethernet cable away from electric motors/industrial equipment or industrial lighting or
similar items that may generate a high level of electrical noise or interference. In some cases, it
may be necessary to run shielded (STP) Ethernet cable.
• AvertX recommends protecting your cable by running through conduits or inside a wall since the
cable is not outdoor or plenum rated.
• AvertX cameras and cables have waterproof connectors eliminating the requirement for a
sealed electrical box to protect the connection.
Where should I place my NVR?
The NVR is the heart of your system, and careful consideration must be taken to make sure it is
protected and reachable by your camera cables.
• The NVR should be placed in a dry space that does not exceed the listed operating temperature
specifications for the NVR – attics or garages are usually not ideal unless careful preparations
are made. Avoid placing the NVR in areas with no airflow or near flammable materials.
• AvertX recommends a bench test before installing your system. After unpacking the system,
connect all cameras and boot up the system before proceeding with installation.
• The NVR has an onboard fan for cooling. This fan is about as noisy as an average PC fan.
Consider fan noise in your placement plan if you are sensitive to low level fan noise.
