Materials Required
Phantom surveillance camera
DVR or NVR
Coaxial cables

Step 1: Determine Camera Placement

The ideal location for your camera is where it can capture the desired area without any obstructions. Consider the following factors when choosing a location:
Field of view
Lighting conditions
Power availability
Mounting stability

Step 2: Install the Mounting Bracket

Use the screws and anchors to mount the bracket securely to the desired surface. Ensure that the bracket is level and stable.

Step 3: Connect the Camera

Connect the coaxial cable to the camera's video output port. Secure the cable with a BNC connector. Connect the power adapter to the camera and plug it into a power outlet.

Step 4: Connect the DVR/NVR

Connect the other end of the coaxial cable to an input port on the DVR or NVR. Ensure that the port corresponds to the camera's channel number.

Step 5: Configure the System

Once all the connections are made, turn on the DVR or NVR. Access the system settings and configure the camera settings, such as resolution, frame rate, and motion detection. You can also set up recording schedules and playback options.

Step 6: Test the System

Once the system is configured, test the camera by triggering motion or moving in front of it. Verify that the camera is capturing footage and streaming it to the DVR or NVR. Adjust the camera settings as needed to optimize performance.

Step 7: Conceal the Cables (Optional)

For a more discreet installation, you can conceal the cables by running them through walls, ceilings, or along baseboards. Use cable clips or raceways to secure the cables and keep them out of sight.

Troubleshooting
Camera not displaying image: Check the cable connections and ensure that the power adapter is connected. Verify that the camera and DVR/NVR are compatible.
Fuzzy or distorted image: Adjust the camera settings, such as sharpness, brightness, and contrast. Check for any obstructions or interference.
Motion detection not working: Configure the motion detection settings in the DVR/NVR. Ensure that the camera is in a location where it can detect movement.
