Once you have chosen the best position for the camera, switch the power to the camera off,
and unplug the power lead from the camera.
When mounting the bulletcam camera to your ceiling or wall, please ensure that you rotate
the camera so that at the top of the camera lens is 'up', otherwise you will find that your
pictures are displayed upside down. (see diagram)
Hold the camera base in the position you wish to fix it, and mark the holes with an
appropriate pen or pencil. Once this is done, remove the stand and drill a hole with the
appropriate drill bit for the material you are mounting your camera to and the screws you
are using. When your holes are done, screw the stand to the wall, then re-align the camera
to the subject.
Run the camera cable back to the TV/VCR, any holes that you drill need to be at least 14mm
in diameter to allow the connectors to pass through.
Reconnect the power and A/V leads to the camera and switch the camera power back on.
Mounting the camera on your wall or ceiling
1. To extend the operating distance of the camera from your TV or VCR you will need to purchase an
A/V extension Cable (sold separately) which are available at most electronics stores.

2. The camera be placed where it looks directly into the sun or any other bright light source,
as this will not only result in a poor image, but will eventually damage the electronics of the camera.
3. Areas with a high degree of contrast in the light levels may require re-positioning of the camera in
order to obtain the best image.
4. The best viewing angle is achieved by placing the camera in a position where it is looking down on
the subject.
5. For night-time use or when situated in a dimly-lit environment the camera requires
the aid of suitable exterior lighting to ensure a good picture is achieved.
6. It is recommended that if night vision is required when using the BulletCam, you would use a
movement activated sensor flood light to accompany your camera and provide a suitable light source.
The best method is to mount the light behind the camera to ensure that the subject is correctly lit,
and that the camera does not get too much light into the lens which may cause over-exposure
problems. Lights of this type are readily available at hardware stores and similar electrical supply
outlets. Consult your local electrical contractor for information on the installation requirements for the
various types of flood lights.
