Choose a location close to an outlet.
Make sure your camera is positioned close
enough to an outlet for the length of the
included power cable.
Your camera can be mounted on an outdoor wall,
eave, or overhang.
For optimal motion detection:
Mount the camera about 3 feet (1 meter) from the
middle of the entry point, and about 10 feet (3
meters) above the ground.
If installing on a wall...
Your camera comes ready to mount, with the ball
joint pointing down. No adjustments are needed
before installation.
If installing on an eave or overhang...
Remove the battery compartment cover by
twisting it counterclockwise and insert the ball
joint plate with the ball joint pointing up.
Remove the mounting plate.
Slide it down to remove it from the camera mount.
Install the mounting plate.
For wall installation, the UP arrow should point up.
For an eave or overhang, the arrow should point
toward the area you want to monitor for motion.
If installing on a wood surface, screw the plate
directly into the wall.
If installing on a masonry surface, mark four screw
holes using the plate as a guide.
Drill pilot holes using a 1/4” drill bit. Insert
the included wall anchors, then drive the four
mounting screws through the mounting plate into
the wall anchors.
WARNING!
Only use the included mounting screws
when securing the mounting plate.

electrical wiring.

into place.

masonry surface, like stucco or brick.
The power cable can be painted to match
your wall.
