Camera Mounting

E842CB - Bullet Camera

1. Use the mounting template to mark and drill screw holes. If mounting on drywall or other soft surfaces, insert

   the included drywall anchors.

2. If running the cable through the wall, feed it through the pre-drilled hole. If running it along the wall, use the

   round cable notch on the camera cover.

3. Loosen the adjustment screw and position your camera as needed, then tighten to secure it in place.

4. Peel off the protective film from the camera lens.

5. Follow the next section for proper cable connections.
   
   

E842CD - Dome Camera

1. Use the mounting template to mark and drill screw holes. If mounting on drywall or other soft surfaces, insert

   the included drywall anchors.

2. Attach the bracket to the surface using a Phillips-head screwdriver and the included screws, ensuring the

   PUSH / FRONT tab faces upward.

3. If running the cable through the wall, feed it through the pre-drilled hole. If running it along the wall, use the

   round cable notch on the camera cover.

4. Move the dome camera and cover to your preferred angle. Adjustments after mounting will be difficult due to

   potential cable obstructions.

5. Align the square notch on the camera cover with the PUSH / FRONT tab on the bracket, then slide the camera

   downward until it clicks into place.

6. Tighten the lock screw with a Phillips-head screwdriver to lock it. To remove later, loosen the screw, press

   the tab, and push upwards.

7. Minor camera angle adjustments may be possible but are limited by cable positioning.

8. Peel off the protective film from the camera lens.

9. Follow the next section for proper cable connections.
   
   

Camera Connection

Connect your camera directly to your recorder using the camera's Ethernet extension cable.

Weather-Resistant Cap

Twist the Ethernet extension cable's pre-attached weather-resistant cap securely onto your camera's Ethernet connector. If exposed to regular precipitation, seal the cap with silicone and electrical tape.
