Box label showing the pack contents and Unit ID

Step 1 – Unpack and check that everything is in the box

Mount, power, and connect your camera in about 30 minutes. No technical knowledge needed.

Check that everything below is in the box before you start. Keep the Unit ID label on the box for support.

All kit contents laid out

Step 2 – Choose a solid spot with power within 5m

• Solid, flat surface: a wall, post or hoarding with a clear view of the area.

• Power within 5m: a mains socket within reach of the extension cable.

• Check the mobile signal: test with a phone at the spot first, and keep the antennas clear of metal.

• Out of the sun and rain: don't aim at the sun, and keep the power supply and socket dry.

• Use an outdoor-rated socket, or keep the power supply indoors.

Step 3 – Fit an antenna on each side, pointing up

• Screw one antenna onto the gold connector on each side, near the top corners.

• Turn by hand only — do not use tools.

• Fold both antennas so they point straight up.

Step 4 – Fix the unit through its four corner lugs

• Hold the unit with antennas up and the power connector facing down.

• Mark through the 4 mounting lugs, then drill and plug the holes.

• Fix with pan head or button head screws — never countersunk. Then secure with the magnets and a cable tie for safety.

Step 5 – Aim the camera

• Turn the white dome cover anticlockwise to remove it.

• Loosen the small screw on the metal locking clip.

• Tilt and turn the camera to the desired view, then re-tighten.

• Refit the white cover.

Step 6 – Peel off the lens film

• Peel the clear protective film off the lens window.

Step 7 – Connect power from the unit back to the socket

• Unit power socket: push the extension cable in until it clicks.

• 5m extension cable: run it to the socket and secure it with cable ties.

• Power supply: join the waterproof connector until it clicks.

• Mains socket: plug in and switch on.

Step 8 – A green light means the unit has power

• The status light sits next to the power socket on the bottom of the unit.

• Light on: powered. Allow a few minutes for the camera to start and connect.

• No light: check both connectors clicked fully home and the socket is on.

• Once it's on, contact Evercam so we can confirm the camera is online and the view is right.

Five rules that protect the unit

• Tighten mounting screws until snug only. Overtightening cracks the enclosure.

• Use pan head or button head screws. Never use countersunk screws.

• Keep the enclosure closed. Only the white dome cover comes off.

• Keep the power supply and socket dry. Use an outdoor-rated socket or keep them indoors.

• Leave the power on. Disconnect only if Evercam support asks.
