PoE advisory

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

Click here to download a PoE calculator in MS Excel.

Prepare the surface

Using the mounting template as a guide, drill pilot holes in the desired location.

Remove the faceplate (optional)

If you need to add an SD card, remove the black faceplate. It's held on by magnets, and easy to remove if you grip it right under the sunshade.

Reset button

This button (shown in yellow) is the reset button.

If needed, while the camera is powered, press and hold this button for 30 seconds to restore it to factory defaults.

Add an SD card

Remove the SD card slot cover. You can insert a surveillance-rated SD card (up to 256GB) into the card slot, shown here.

Replace the SD card slot cover and the faceplate.

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 here.

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 screws to mount the camera to the surface.

Loosen the lock nut

Loosen the lock nut slightly, just enough that you can aim the camera.

Aim the camera

Loosen the indicated star screw. Twist the entire camera body so that the elbow joint can bend in the desired direction. Tighten the screw.

Angle the camera

Loosen the indicated star screw. Angle the camera body so it faces the surveillance scene. Tighten the screw.

Level the camera

Loosen the indicated screw. Level the camera. Tighten the screw.

Tighten the lock nut

When you have the perfect image, tighten the lock nut.
