9 Mounting the Power / Data Back Box Before mounting the power / data back box, determine if the camera installation will be wall, ceiling, or parapet and if the wiring will pass through the compression fittings in the back or the ½” NPT conduit mount on the bottom of the back box.
10 Terminating Power and Data Cabling Inside the Back Box Power and data cabling must be routed to the right side (wall-side) of the back box.

11 Camera Arm Installation The back box is provided with arm hangers on both sides to hold the camera/ arm module on the back box to facilitate installation. (Figure 8) NOTE: The arm hangers function perfectly at any orientation of the junction box and will firmly hold the camera and junction box cover in any of the wall, ceiling, or parapet mount configurations.

5. If mounting the unit outdoors, please take necessary and thorough measures to ensure the camera unit is properly sealed from inclement weather. An example would be to use silicone sealer around the back of the base, being sure to surround all holes with a generous bead of sealant to the outer edge of the back box surface.
12 Installing / Adjusting the Sunshield CAUTION The IQeye Sentinel sunshield is not captive to the camera enclosure. Handle the sunshield securely during adjustment, installation and / or removal. NOTE: A sunshield is supplied with the Sentinel for protection against the sun, rain and other environmental factors.
