of the  came ra and the bracket.   
 
Please follow the steps listed below to install the device.  Please refer to Figure 2-1 for reference. 
Ste p 1 
Use  inner hex wrench in the accessories bag to open dome enclosure by unfastening three inner hex 
screws on enclosure.  
Ste p 2 
Please take the installation position map in the accessories bag, and then paste it on the ceiling or the 
wall according to your monitor area requirements.  
Ste p 3 
Find cross signs on the map, and dig three plastic expansion bolts holes in the installation surface and 
then insert three expansion bolts in the holes. Secure these three bolts firmly.  
Note: 
 If  users pull out cable from top of installation surface, you must  dig an exit hole on installation 
surface according to the installation position map.  
 If  users pull out cable from side of cable channel, it must  go through the U-shape channel on 
dome pedestal, and take out cable from the side exit  hole on pedestal.  
Ste p 4 
Adjust the device installation pedestal to the proper position and then pull cable through the exit  hole 
on Installation surface. Make direction of TOP sign same as it on installation position map. Line up the 
three screw holes in the device pedestal to the three plastic expansion bolt holes in the installation 
position. Put the three self-tapping screws in the three plastic expansion bolts firmly. Fix  dome body on 
installation surface.  
Ste p 5 
If  you install the device shown in Figure (1-a) or (1-b), please refer to a) for installation, if you install the 
device shown  in Figure (1-c), please refer to b) for installation.  
a) Hold  the rotation bracket on both sides, turn the rotation bracket horizontally, adjust the lens 
direction horizontally to the targeted position; unscrew the two  hand screws on the both sides of 
the rotation bracket (do not remove them completely, just make them  loose), hold the camera 
module to make  the lens rotate vertically, adjust the vertical direction of lens monitoring image to a 
proper monitoring angle, then tighten the fixed  screws on the decoration cover. Range of adjusting 
lens angle: vertical (0°～+75°), horizontal (0°～+355°). 
b) Adjust the lens recording angle and image angle according to the three arrows shown in the Figure 
below: Hold  the rotation bracket on both sides, turn the rotation bracket horizontally, adjust the 
lens direction horizontally to the targeted position; unscrew the two  hand screws on the both sides 
of the rotation bracket (do not remove them completely, just make them loose), hold the camera 
module to make  the lens rotate vertically, adjust the vertical direction of lens monitoring image to a 
proper monitoring angle, then tighten the fixed  screws on the decoration cover. Hold the LED 
lampshade with  your hands and adjust image angle. Range of adjusting angle: vertical  (0°～
+75°), horizontal (0°～+355°), image rotation direction (0°～+355°).  
Note:  
Pay attention to the image rotation direction when it turns to 64° vertically, try to avoid the outer cover 
blocking the IR  light and influencing IR  effect.
