3. Connecting the Camera
- Connect one end of the BNC cable to the camera's video output port.
- Connect the other end of the BNC cable to an available video input port on your DVR.
- Connect the 12V DC power supply to the camera's power input port and plug it into a power outlet.
- Once connected, the camera should power on.
4. Switching Video Output Mode (if necessary)
By factory default, the camera is set to 1080P@30fps HD-TVI. If your DVR uses a different format (CVI, AHD, or CVBS), you may need to switch the camera's video output mode. This is typically done via the DVR's OSD (On-Screen Display) menu or a physical switch on the camera cable (if available, consult your DVR manual for specific instructions on accessing camera OSD).
