- NOTE: If you run the power cable through the mounting surface, connect power before attaching the camera to the wall.
- NOTE: If you run the power cable along the mounting surface, the cable must go through the cable notch on the camera base. This will keep the camera base flush to the mounting surface
- NOTE: Power cables are only weatherproof when fully inserted at the connection point. Power cables may not be submerged in water.

- 9. Appendix C: Troubleshooting
- • Make sure that the camera is plugged into a power outlet and that the power adapter is plugged in properly.
- • Make sure receiver is plugged into a power outlet.
- • Move the camera closer to the receiver.
- • Make sure video output cables are connected to your DVR.
- • Move the camera closer to the receiver.
- • Try repositioning the camera, receiver, or both to improve the reception.
- • The picture may become choppy when experiencing a lower frame rate (e.g. 6 frames per second vs. a higher 20 frames per second).
- • Try moving the camera closer to the receiver.
- • Remove obstructions between the receiver and camera.
- • "Washout" or "white wash" can occur when a strong light source is pointed at the camera lens. The camera lens is not harmed during a white wash.
- • Do not point your camera towards a bright light source.
- • If using during the day, the camera may not be getting enough light. Reconsider the position of your camera.
- • If using during the day, the camera may be getting too much light. Reconsider the position of your camera.
- • Night vision activates when light levels drop. The area may have too much light.
- • Night vision reflects when pointing a camera at a window. Move the camera to a different location.

1. At full signal strength. Limit number of obstructions to ensure best performance.
2. Camera and receiver require a wired connection to a power outlet. Power adapters included.
3. Using multiple receivers in close proximity to each other may cause a slight slowdown in frame rate performance. Maintain at
least 4 inches / 10cm of space between each receiver. Limit number of receivers used to 2 (4 channels total).
4. Maximum wireless transmission range. Actual range dependent upon building materials and other obstructions in path of
wireless signal.
5. Not intended for submersion in water. Installation in a sheltered area is recommended.
6. Power cables are only weatherproof when fully inserted at the connection point. Power cables may not be submerged in water.
7. Stated IR illumination ranges are based on ideal conditions in typical outdoor night time ambient lighting and in total darkness.
Actual range and image clarity depends on installation location, viewing area, and light reflection / absorption level of object.
