How to Install a GE CyberDome Camera

A break-in at your home can be a life changing experience. One way to deter criminals is with a GE CyberDome camera. This system records a portion of your home using a tilt, pan and zoom camera mounted inside a protective dome.

Instructions

    • 1

      Choose a location to mount the camera. The ideal location is about eight feet from the ground in a location where you can take advantage of its tilt and pan features.

    • 2

      Loosen the two CyberMount cover screws with a screwdriver and remove the cover. Hold the CyberMount in the desired location and mark its mounting holes with a pencil.

    • 3

      Drill the mounting holes with a drill bit that has a slightly smaller diameter than your mounting screws.

    • 4

      Hold the CyberMount, aligning the drilled holes with its fastening holes. Fasten to the wall with one screw through each of the four holes.

    • 5

      Strip 3/8 inches of insulation off the two conductors in the 22/2 gauge wire and 16/2 gauge wire with wire strippers.

    • 6

      Loosen the four terminals on the CyberMount interface module marked "24VAC" and "DATA IN" with a screwdriver.

    • 7

      Insert the 22/2 gauge wire in each of the DATA IN terminals and tighten them down. Insert the 16/2 gauge wire in each of the 24VAC terminals and tighten them down.

    • 8

      Push the coaxial cable into the male coaxial cable on the CyberMount interface module and turn until it locks in place.

    • 9

      Insert the interface module into its mounting slot on the inside center of the CyberMount. Place the cover back on the CyberMount and tighten the screws.

    • 10

      Hold the CyberDome near the end of the CyberMount and connect its cable into the RJ45 jack on the interface module.

      Align the flange on the CyberDome with the CyberMount's matching holes and secure with the three provided screws. Tighten the screws.
