MOUNTING THE CAMERA

NOTE:  The camera is designed for indoor use only.

Select a location for the camera that:

    Has a clear view of the area you want to monitor

    Is free from dust, rain, or moisture 

    Is not close to main power lines or transformers

    Stays between 32 and 104 degrees F (0 and 40 degrees C)

    Does not point directly at a light source

CAUTION:  Never aim the camera directly at the sun or any other bright
          light.  Bright light can damage the camera.

Refer to the following for the best mounting method for the selected
location, and follow these steps to mount the camera.

1.  Use the mounting bracket as a template to mark the positions for the
    mounting holes.

2.  Select screws that are appropriate for the mounting surface.  (The
    supplied screws are appropriate either for wood surfaces or for use
    with the supplied dry wall anchors.)

    Then use a 3/32 - inch drill bit to drill the mounting holes.

3.  Use the screws and anchors if needed, to secure the mounting bracket
    to the desired location.

4.  Secure the camera to the mounting bracket with the two supplied knobs.

CONNECTING THE CAMERA

You can connect the camera to a dedicated TV or VCR's antenna jack and tune
to Channel 3 or 4 to view the camera's signal.  Or, you can connect the
camera to a TV, VCR, or monitor's audio/video input jacks.  Using the
audio/video jacks generally provides a better signal.

Connecting the Camera to a Dedicated TV or VCR's Antenna Jack

Route an RG-59 or RG-6 antenna cable (not supplied) from the camera to the
TV or VCR.  To prevent interference, do not route the cable next to any
power, antenna or telephone lines.

NOTES:  Radio Shack stores sell cables in several lengths with connectors
        on each end and by the foot without connectors, as well as easily-
        installed connectors.  Select a cable that is appropriate for your
        installation.

        If there is an AC outlet near the camera, plug the supplied power
        adapter's barrel plug into the DC 12V 200mA jack on the camera.
        Otherwise, plug the barrel plug into the jack on the side of the
        supplied power injector as shown on Page 5.

Connecting the Camera to a Dedicated TV, VCR, or Monitor's A/V Input Jacks

Route Shielded A/V cables from the camera to the VCR or TV.  To prevent
interference, do not route the cable next to any power, antenna or
telephone lines.

Connecting the Camera and an Antenna or Cable TV Input to a TV or VCR

You may connect your security camera to a broadcast receiving TV or VCR
using the high isolation A/B switch.  Set the switch to A or B to select
the source.
