SECTION 3: INSTALLING YOUR SYSTEM
6. Point the camera at your surveillance target, then tighten the lock nuts to hold it in place. (Note: The direction the camera is
pointing may need correction when video from the camera is observed.)
7. Route the camera drop cable through the hole drilled for it in the mounting surface, if used. If the camera is installed where
moisture may accumulate on it, leave a “drip loop” in the cable so that beads of water on the cable slide away from the
camera and the drop cable connectors.
8. Attach a video/power extension cable to the camera drop cable (see diagram below). Note: When connecting the video
cables, fully rotate the lock ring to hold them together.

If the connectors might be exposed to moisture or other contaminants, seal them with electrical tape or use an equivalent
method.
9. Route the other end of the video/power extension cable to the DVR backpanel.
10. Repeat this procedure for all of the cameras you are installing.
