Video cable (coaxial, BNC, or IP cable)
Drill
Screwdriver
Drill bit
Screws
Mounting bracket
Video recorder

Step 1: Determine the Mounting Location

Choose a mounting location that provides a clear view of the area you want to monitor. Consider factors such as the height of the camera, the angle of the lens, and any potential obstructions.

Step 2: Mount the Bracket

Use the included mounting bracket to mark the drill holes on the wall. Drill the holes using an appropriately sized drill bit. Insert the included screws into the holes and tighten the bracket securely.

Step 3: Install the Camera

Attach the camera to the mounting bracket and tighten the screws. Ensure that the camera is level and pointed in the desired direction.

Step 4: Connect the Power Adapter

Connect the power adapter to the camera and plug it into a nearby electrical outlet. The camera should power on and begin transmitting a video signal.

Step 5: Connect the Video Cable

Run the video cable from the camera to the video recorder. Connect one end of the cable to the video input port on the camera and the other end to the video input port on the recorder.

Step 6: Configure the Video Recorder

Follow the instructions for your specific video recorder to configure the settings, such as the video resolution, recording schedule, and motion detection sensitivity.

Step 7: Test the System

Once the camera and video recorder are connected, use the monitor or TV connected to the recorder to view the live footage from the camera. Adjust the camera's position and settings as needed to optimize the view and recording quality.

Additional Tips
Use a drill bit that is slightly smaller than the diameter of the screws to ensure a secure hold.
Tighten the screws holding the bracket and camera securely to prevent loosening over time.
Run the video cable through a conduit or protective sleeve to prevent damage.
定期检查监控系统，确保其正常运行。
Keep the camera lens clean to maintain optimal image quality.

Troubleshooting
If the camera does not power on, check the connections of the power adapter and ensure that the outlet is working.
If there is no video signal, check the connections of the video cable at both the camera and the video recorder.
If the image quality is poor, adjust the camera's settings, such as the focus and contrast.
If the camera is not recording, check the settings on the video recorder to ensure that it is configured to record from the camera.
