PoE advisory

Caution: If you are using PoE, ensure that your NVR has enough capacity, otherwise your cameras may randomly disconnect from your system.

WARNING!

Your camera comes with a thin sheet of protective film on the dome. Do not remove this until installation is complete.

Drill pilot holes

Use the adhesive mounting template to drill pilot holes.

Detach the trim ring

The trim ring is attached by magnets. Pry it up using the tab and remove it from the camera shell.

Remove the shell and dome

Use the hex wrench to loosen these four screws in the camera body.

Lift the dome and shell from the camera body (do not cut the elastic connection strap).

Insert SD card (optional)

The SD card slot is here.

You can insert an SD card (up to 256GB) into the camera body. Use only a surveillance-rated SD card.

Reset button

This is the Reset button.

(If needed, while the camera is powered, pressing and holding this button for 30 seconds will restore it to factory defaults.)

Weatherproofing: Prepare the tail

Find the white washer in the weatherproofing kit.

Place it on the network connector of the camera's tail. The proper placement is shown here in yellow.

Weatherproofing: Insert the network cable

Slide a terminated category cable through the end cap and the casing.

Caution: Triple-check that your NVR has enough PoE capacity.

Weatherproofing: Connect the tail

Connect the terminated cable to the network connector of your camera's tail.

Weatherproofing: Secure the casing

Slide the weatherproof casing firmly onto the camera's network connector. Twist it to lock it in place.

Weatherproofing: Insert the sealing gasket

The sealing gasket has a slit in the side. Use this slit to place the gasket around the cable, then slide the gasket fully into the weatherproof casing.

Weatherproofing: Attach the end cap

Screw the end cap onto the casing until it is snug. The compresses the gasket around the cable, providing a weatherproof seal.

Connect the audio (optional)

To add external audio to the feed, connect your local microphone to "IN" and your amplifier to "OUT". The wires are labeled with a small tag.

Connect the alarm (optional)

If you wish to add an alarm or other such system to the camera, attach it to the Phoenix connector.

Connect the power (if needed)

If not using PoE, attach the power connector (we recommend using the EE-PS-12VDC-1A).

Pro Tip: Wrap any unused connectors to prevent short circuits.

Claim the camera in OvrC

If you have an OvrC Pro device, it automatically claims your camera. If not, claim it by manually entering its MAC address and service tag number. Once claimed, activate the camera in OvrC to help you adjust its aim.

Mount the camera

Use the adhesive mounting template to drill pilot holes.

Secure the camera body to the mounting surface using these holes in the camera body.

Aim the camera

Grip the camera on the gimbal, shown here in yellow.

Spin the camera body so you can point the lens at the desired area.

Angle the camera

Grip the camera just above the gimbal, in the area shown here in yellow.

Tilt the camera so that the camera image shows the desired area.

Pro Tip: By default, the speaker goes above the lens.

Replace the shell

Replace the dome on the camera. Secure it by tightening the screws.

Replace the trim ring, remove the film

Return the trim ring to its position. Adjust it until you feel the magnets click it into place.

Remove the protective covering from the dome.
