Mount the Camera

Please refer to the steps below to assist you with mounting the camera.

We suggest that you configure the camera before mounting.

1. Place the baseplate where you want to position the camera and use a pencil to mark the holes. You can use the large holes for a removable installation, or the small holes for a fixed one. Make sure the lock arrow on the plate is pointing down.
2. Depending on the material of the wall or ceiling, use proper tools to drill holes 25mm deep with a 6 mm drill bit where you marked. If the wall is made out of concrete, drill the holes first, then insert the plastic anchors to support the screws.
3. Place the baseplate over the holes that are in the wall. Make sure to align the baseplate holes with the holes in the wall. Use the supplied screws to attach the baseplate to the surface of the wall.
4. Place the camera over the baseplate and align the nub with the hole on the camera. Attach the camera by sliding it in the direction of the arrow.
5. Once the camera is secured to the baseplate, use a screwdriver to fasten the screw next to the hole at the back of the camera body.
6. Adjust the angles via the camera body and rotate the silver base until you achieve your desired viewing angle.

Waterproofing the Camera

Waterproofing Your Connectors When Using Wi-Fi

After configuring your camera, follow the instructions below to prevent water from entering the camera's Ethernet and Power Cable connections.

1. Plug the power adapter into the dongle.

1. To waterproof the Ethernet socket, align the cap according to the thread and twist it clockwise to seal it.

Waterproofing Your Ethernet Connector

If you are using an Ethernet connection, follow the instructions below to prevent water from entering the camera's Ethernet cable connector.

1. Connect the power and Ethernet cables.

Using Waterproof Tape

Wind waterproof tape, such as butyl rubber or vinyl tape, around the individual cables and connectors in a half-overlapping manner then wrap all the connectors together. Be sure to cover all of the connectors and any unsheathed cables.

Note: Butyl rubber tape should be wrapped by stretching the tape to about twice its length, and wrapping it around the cable. Failure to stretch the tape sufficiently will result in insufficient waterproofing performance.

Caution: Due to its IP65 rating we recommend that you install your device under a roof or a shelter to protect the Power and Ethernet connections from water seepage. The cables and connections need to be located away from all potential water hazards.

FAQs

1. What can I do if my DCS-2670L is not working correctly?

• Reset the camera (see next step) and run the setup steps starting on page 4 again.

• To make sure your hardware is installed correctly, make sure that:

• the power LED is green

• your Internet connection is working
• your router's LAN & WAN connections are working
• your router supports UPnP
• your camera is on the same network as your mobile device
• both your mobile device and camera have a working Internet connection
• If your camera is still not working, check your router and make sure it has the latest firmware.

2. What can I do if I forget my password?

If you forget your password, you must reset the camera. Unfortunately, this process will change your settings back to factory default. To reset the camera, locate the reset button underneath the camera. With the camera powered on, use an unfolded paper clip to hold the button down for 10 seconds. Run the setup procedure located on page 4 once the camera restarts.

3. Why is there a white haze when viewing in night vision mode?

When viewing in night vision mode, the IR lights on the camera may be reflecting off a nearby surface. Try repositioning the camera in order to avoid glare from IR LEDs.
