What is the best way to install/position the cameras?
197453
You can install the base in any position, verticle or horizontal, ceiling or wall. You then adjust the camera and aim the area you want to cover.

Trial and error. I taped them to the walls to get an idea of the coverage, then fine tuned then

To install, simply follow the instructions provided. As for position or location , that's impossible to answer without knowing details of the need for the cameras and the physical aspects of the building.

If the camera was installed as a factory option, any dealer for that manufacturer can relocate the camera. If the camera is an after market add-on, it can be relocated. A minimal number of tools will be required. New mounting holes will probably have to be drilled. Also, if the camera is a hard wired model, the video coax cable and/or 12 VDC wiring may have to be extended.

The rear camera is wired to the front with a very long, fairly small diameter coax cable. I found it simple to route to the rear by following the edge of the roof liner and tucking it around the pillars. The hardest part was finding a place for the excess cable to hide.

Jaya pretty much covers the setup perfectly; couple of things I did were to cover the camera connections in a larger piece of electrical shrink-wrap, to keep out moisture, and scrounged a wall flange for the cables from a local Cable TV installer. The other was to have one camera in overview mode, on top of the house. Faces need to be within about 15-20 feet or less to be really recognizable, and about 5' at night with the LED illumination, so bear this in mind when you install.

yes you can no problem. Once installed,the control panel in the cameras software allow you to invert the image

If you Mount them to a small piece of wood and use the wood as a base then you can place them on a shelf. Just make sure the wood is big enough as to where the weight of the camera will not cause both the wood and camera to tip over. This would prevent any drilling inside your home. You can paint the wood to make it look presentable. You will need to purchase different screws as the ones the unit comes with are made to drill into walls. You will need to feed a bolt upward through the wood into the holes of the camera base and fasten that down with a couple of nuts. Simple...

i have mine mounted on a enclosed trailer i mounted the camera on the back below the clearance lights then ran the wires along the outside of the trailer using wire looms. just make sure you put the screws where there is a stud.

Installing the Cameras was easy and I am not handy with tools. The cameras can be mounted on a wall or ceiling and are easy to adjust. Running the wires back to the DVR took more strategic planning. I ran all my wires for 8 cameras through my attic and that was very tight for my 230 lb frame. I used a golf ball retriever to fish the wires through the tightest areas. The kit comes with a software disc that makes it easy to set up the DVR. I was able to download the APPS for my Iphone and Ipad. I have not been able to make the Ipad APP work but my Iphone and PC work just fine. I called CS for help but was not able to fix the Ipad issue. I like this security system better than the Alarm system. Installing the Cameras was easy and I am not handy with tools. The cameras can be mounted on a wall or ceiling and are easy to adjust.

Call the customer service number on the box or from off the web site. They will take over from that point. They link to your computer and completely set up the camera.

yes you can add better cameras. But you will need to make sure that they have the same connections.

Use the bracket that came with the camera. Mount camera and bracket upside down. Go to the LIVE VIDEO settings and check both the FLIP and MIRROR boxes. The image will display as though the camera is right side up.

Yes and yes. Once mounted, loosen the anchor screw that bonds the camera ball to the base, and adjust the camera ball freely. I love these cameras, the quality is fantastic. I own 3.

The quick answer is Yes...but it may not be the best approach. I have done this in situations different types of camera systems are running on the same location. It would be helpful to know more about your needs.

Baically, all you'll need is a screwdriver and cable straps or clips to secure the wires to the wall from the cameras to the DVR. You may also need a drill if the camera is to be mounted on a concrete surface. The camera came with screws for surface mounting.
