Review detail in uneven light
The 130 dB wide dynamic range helps balance a shaded canopy and brighter exterior. Infrared is rated up to 98 ft (30 m) after dark.
Retain a suitable coax route
Use the existing BNC run where it is in good condition. Confirm that your DVR records the selected 5 MP signal and supply the camera with 12 V DC.

INSTALLATION GUIDANCE
Aim the turret and decide where the cable will exit
Use a rigid ceiling for direct mounting. Plan a route through the surface or the base exit and allow room to protect the BNC and 12 V connectors.
-
Frame the area that matters
For direct mounting on a solid ceiling, pass the cable through the ceiling or through the channel in the base for a surface run. Confirm the view and cable entry before drilling.
-
Connect camera power
A suitable 12V DC adapter with a 2.1 × 5.5 mm plug. The rated camera draw is 3.6 W via 12V DC.
-
Protect the cable path
Use the optional PMAX-0727 if you need space to enclose the connections. Protect the BNC and separate DC plug outdoors. Test video and playback before closing the junction.
-
Verify recording and playback
Test the exact video mode in live view and save a short clip. Check playback before closing the cable route.
PUT IT TO WORK
Check the fit before you order
Choose the Y72 for a broad overhead coax view. Check the DVR channel’s exact 5 MP mode and the room available behind the mounting surface.
You already have a recording system
Reuse sound BNC coax if the free DVR channel supports the selected signal and resolution. Check the separate 12 V supply.
You want a new local recorder
Count compatible BNC channels in hybrid mode, then choose the drive capacity for your retention target. The recorder and drive are sold separately.
Choose the mount for the surface
Available mounting options include PMAX-0365 wall mount with built-in junction box, PMAX-0727 junction box. For a 2.64–5 in. vertical pole, use the PMAX-0538 with the PMAX-0365. See the Add-ons section for the separately sold parts.
