Preparation

  1. Cut a hole in the sheet rock wall at the location where the LED indicator will be mounted. The hole should be approximately 2 1/8 inches x 3 5/8 inches.
  2. Insert the mud ring into the hole and tighten it down using the screw driver.

Wiring

  1. Using fish tape or a wire fish, run 22/2 up through the wall and to the camera.
  2. Strip approximately 2 inches of the outer insulation from each end of the 22/2 wire.
  3. Strip approximately 1 inch off the insulation for the black and red conductor on each end of the 22/2 wire.

  4. Connect the 22/2 to the camera
    1. Insert the red wire into the number 2 I/O port on the camera. If necessary, trim the wire before inserting to ensure no bare wire is exposed.
    2. Insert the black wire into the number 4 I/O port on the camera. If necessary, trim the wire before inserting to ensure no bare wire is exposed.
