STEP 1 ­ PREPARING TO MOUNT THE CAMERA
1. For the installation, remove the dome using the wrench included with the camera to loosen the three (3) screws on the base of the dome. Remove the protection film between the dome and the camera module.
WARNING DO NOT TOUCH THE BUBBLE. CleanViewTM Hydrophobic Dome Coating has been applied to the dome.
2. Remove the existing moisture packet and insert the new packet in its place. The camera will generate enough heat to dry moisture during operation. In case of a moisture issue, keep the moisture absorber in the camera for up to six (6) months.

WARNING: The moisture absorber prevents moisture buildup inside the camera, which may cause image performance issues and damage the camera.
3. Using the mounting template sheet or the camera itself, mark and drill the necessary holes in the mounting surface.

STEP 2 ­ POWERING THE CAMERA
Pass the wires through and make all necessary connections.
