2 Installation 
Before you start: 
 Make sure the device is in good condition and all the assembly parts are included. 
 Make sure all the related equipment is power-off during the installation. 
 Check the specifications of the products to ensure they match the 
installation environment. 
 Make sure the power supply matches the required voltage to avoid damage. 
 If the product does not function properly, please contact your dealer or the nearest service center. Do not disassemble the 
camera for repair or maintenance by yourself. 
 Make sure that the wall is strong enough to withstand three times the weight of the camera. 
Note: 
Please pay attention to the following precautions to prevent IR reflection:   
● Dust or grease on the dome cover will cause IR reflection. Please do not remove the dome cover film until the installation is finished. If there is dust or grease on the dome cover, clean 
the dome cover with clean soft cloth and isopropyl alcohol.

12 ● Make sure that there is no reflective surface too close to the camera lens. The IR light from the camera may reflect back into 
the lens causing reflection.  
● The foam ring around the lens must be seated flush against the inner surface of the bubble to isolate the lens from the IR LEDS. Fasten the dome cover to camera body so that the foam ring 
and the dome cover are attached seamlessly.  
Steps: 
1. Drill four screw holes in the wall according to the No.2 holes of the supplied drill template.
