Installation
Note:
Microwave ovens can cause interfer-
ence. Be sure you do not position the video
camera or its receiver near a microwave.
CAMERA MOUNTING TIPS
Before you install the camera, carefully plan
where you want to position the camera and
where you route the cable that connects the
camera to the power source.
If you plan to install the camera in a location
that has conditions not recommended in this
manual, consult with a professional installer
and consider use of a separate camera cov-
er or housing.
Before starting a permanent installation,
have someone hold the camera while anoth-
er person verifies its performance as you ob-
serve the monitor or TV. This helps
determine the best final position for your
camera.
When planning the installation, select a loca-
tion for the camera that:
• provides a clear view of the area you
want to monitor
• is free from dust
• is not in line-of-sight with a strong light
source or in direct sunlight
• has an ambient temperature between
–4°F and 122°F (–20° and 50°C)
Plan the cable’s route so it is not close to
power or telephone lines, transformers, or
other electrical equipment that could inter-
fere with, or accept interference from the
system.
Select a location for the camera receiver
which is convenient for connecting all other
components and within the reach of all con-
nection cables.
LIGHTING AND YOUR
CAMERA’S LOCATION
Though the camera is highly sensitive, it can-
not “see” in total darkness over a wide area.
To assist the camera’s night vision, you can
install a 100W incandescent lamp (which is
rich in infrared radiation) to illuminate the
camera’s viewing area. You can also use a
small incandescent flood lamp. We do not
recommend using halogen lamps, other
high-pressure outdoor lamps, and fluores-
cent lighting.
MOUNTING THE CAMERA
You can mount the camera indoors or out-
doors in a permanent location such as a wall
or on a movable platform (such as a tripod)
for mounting on a desk, shelf, or table.
