Mounting and Installing
Installing the Camera
The camera mounts onto a flat surface using screws. The surface must have
sufficient strength to hold the camera. Materials such as hardwood, brick or
masonry are good options, and we’ve included all the gear you’ll need to mount
it there (except the tools - sorry, you’ll still need your own drill). You can mount
the camera onto a metal surface, but you’ll need to supply your own mounting
hardware.
To mount the camera:
•
•
•
Using the small hex key (supplied), undo the three small locking bolts on the
sides of the PRO-771 dome.
Remove the top parts of the dome, consisting of the camera itself and the
dome cover.
Attach the base plate of the dome to the ceiling or wall in the position you’d
like using the supplied screws. If mounting to brickwork, concrete or other
masonry surface, use the included wall plugs.
•
•
Aim the camera in the direction you’d like. It can help to move a monitor
or television out to the camera’s location to ensure you get it aimed and
positioned properly.
Once the camera is aimed, re-attach the dome cover.
Tips: Positioning your Cables
•
•
When running your cable, try to avoid bending it at sharp angles.
Don’t put your cable near live electrical wiring. AC electricity generates radio
“noise” which can interfere with the signal from your camera.
Tips: Weather Resistance
•
•
•
The PRO-771 is built to be weather resistant. It’ll stand up to getting wet
occasionally, but it’s not intended to be underwater all the time. When
mounting the camera, ensure that it’s not in a location where water is likely to
pool or build up over time.
Long term exposure to direct sunlight will adversely affect the camera. Over
time, the infrared and ultraviolet radiation will eventually begin to degrade the
integrity of the plastic and rubber components of the dome (particularly the
seals, cable, protectors and so on). Basically, put it in the shade!
The dome itself is weather resistant, but the cables (most importantly the
plugs) are not. Ensure that all wiring and the connectors are suitably insulated
and protected from moisture and sunlight.
Tips: Night Vision
•
Don’t place the camera so that there are any objects near the lens. Even
transparent or seemingly inconsequential objects (such as glass or spider’s
webs) will reflect infrared light, and effectively blind the camera at night.

Troubleshooting
Problem: At night, all I see is white.
Solution: The camera is most likely looking through a window. At night, the
infrared light the camera uses to see in the dark can ‘bounce back’ off a reflective
surface (such as glass, water, spider webs, some ceramics and so on) and effectively
blind the camera. If you want to see outside, mount the camera outside - we made
it weatherproof for a reason!
Problem: I see only a blank screen where my image should be.
Solution: Check the wiring to the camera, and ensure the camera is being
supplied power from the included power adapter. Try using a different video lead,
or connecting the camera to a different television or monitor. Be sure there are no
devices interrupting your signal, such as a DVR or VCR that isn’t outputting the
signal correctly.
Problem: I can’t see anything at night.
Solution: The maximum range of the night vision is just that, the maximum range.
If there’s nothing in this range, you won’t see anything. Also, some dark objects
(like the proverbial black cat) may not reflect enough light to be seen except as a
silhouette if the background is brighter. Some objects which can easily be seen in
visible light don’t reflect much infrared light.
On Screen Display (OSD)
The green RS485 plug coming from the camera allows you to attach the included
OSD controller.
The OSD is an optional, advanced feature. The camera will work perfectly well if
you never attach the OSD controller - it will regulate all its settings automatically.
The OSD controls are many and varied, and there’s simply not enough room in
this manual to cover it. You can download an in-depth guide to the OSD from our
website, located at:
