Mounting the Cameras

Adjust camera to desired viewing angle

Ensure the camera is secured into place

Things to Consider Before Installation

• The camera should be installed between 8 and 13ft above the area to be monitored.

• Before screwing in the mount for the camera ensure there are no obstructions in the camera’s view.

• Place cameras in the most strategic places where they can provide detailed, recorded video of every visitor.

• Having the camera in the open for people to see can help deter criminals.

• To cover large, dark areas such as backyards, garages, and driveways, place cameras in strategic locations, such as

on the roof or deck, this way, less cameras are needed to cover an area.

• Ensure that the sunshade is positioned to avoid glare and be sure to position camera away from direct sunlight or

other light sources.

• For best results, the light in front of the camera should be about the same brightness as the light around the area

or object being monitored.

• Decide whether the camera will be wall-mounted, ceiling-mounted*, or sit on a desk/tabletop. If you are

mounting the camera on a wall or ceiling*, use the included mounting hardware. We recommend that the

mounting bracket s secured using the included screws for all installations.

• Each camera comes with 65ft of video/power wire. Please make sure that you mount the cameras no

more than195ft from the DVR. If longer wiring distance is required, extension cables can be purchased

(21007/21008/21009) from your local re-seller or at www.defender-usa.com.

• We recommend using a surge-protected power bar to protect the camera’s internal circuitry.

1. Decide if the camera will be wall-mounted or sit

on a desk/tabletop. The camera can be adjusted

for either mounting scenario by rotating it to the

required position.

2. Screw the mounting bracket into the camera’s

mounting hole, turning it clockwise.

3. Mount the camera in the desired location no

more than 65 ft from the DVR unless you have

purchased additional wiring. You may mount the

cameras on a wall, ceiling* or desk.

4. Ensure that the cameras are strongly secured.

5. Adjust cameras to the desired viewing angles.

6. For additional help on mounting the cameras,

please see the drilling template, located at the

back of the manual.

*NOT ALL CAMERA STYLES CAN BE MOUNTED ON THE

CEILING. PLEASE VERIFY THE CAMERA INSTALLATION
