CONNECTING THE CAMERA
Before you can operate the camera, you must connect it to a system which can
support PTZ operations. There are three sets of connectors - power, video and
the bare control wires. This latter connection is covered on the next page. We
recommend connecting the camera (at least temporarily) to the DVR to test your
settings and connections before mounting it in its final location.

POWER AND VIDEO CONNECTION
IMPORTANT! When connecting the
power and video cable between the camera
and the DVR, the “male” power end (red plug)
connects to the matching power lead on the
camera.
You can now plug the camera’s power adapter into a surge protector and turn it on.
To protect your investment, we STRONGLY recommended using a surge protector
