What camera is right for you?
AvertX Professional Grade cameras are versatile and can be used in a variety of applications. The two
camera types below have different attributes to help you with your design objectives.
HD40D Mini Bullet Camera
Easy to mount. Small size allows it to be placed in tight places. Ball joint mount for a wide variety
of surfaces including surfaces with angles. Wide 93 degree angle view. No requirement to open
the camera unless a microSD card is installed for back up. Focus is preset.
HD810 Dome Camera
Visually appealing. Spectrum Vision True WDR offers more options in diverse lighting conditions.
The 3x optical zoom and autofocus provides more mounting location options to achieve the
view that is important to you. More effort and care required to mount. Optional wall mount
bracket accessory is available from AvertX.
Camera Positioning
A few tips are listed below:
Mount cameras at least 10ft off the ground for best field of view and to ensure the camera is
out of reach of an intruder.
Do not point cameras directly into the sun or highly reflective surfaces.
Avoid placing cameras in areas where water may flow freely during rainfall – mounting under
eaves or overhangs is ideal.
Run camera cables out of sight and reach to avoid tampering
Placing the NVR
The NVR is the heart of your system, and careful consideration must be taken to make sure it is
protected and reachable by your camera cables.
The NVR should be placed in a dry space that does not exceed the listed operating temperature
specifications for the NVR – attics or garages are usually not ideal unless careful preparations
are made. Avoid placing the NVR in areas with no airflow or near flammable materials.
AvertX recommends a “bench test” before performing full installation of your system – after
unpacking the system, connect all cameras and boot up the system before proceeding with
installation.
The NVR has an onboard fan to ensure the system is cooled properly – this fan will sound slightly
louder than an average PC fan. Consider this in your placement plan if you are sensitive to low
level fan noise.
Running Cables and connecting to a camera
Your system or camera kit includes 100ft of Cat5e cable. This should work for most installations,
however if more cable is required it must be purchased separately and cannot exceed 300ft per
camera unless a PoE injector is installed along the line.
Run Ethernet cable away from electric motors/industrial equipment or industrial lighting or
similar items that may generate a high level of electrical noise or interference. In some cases, it
may be necessary to run shielded (STP) Ethernet cable.
