Indoor Mounting Methods - American Dynamics SpeedDome Ultra Camera Installation And Service Manual

Indoor Mounting Methods

The dome's base mounts directly to indoor hard or tile
ceilings using hardware supplied with the dome, or to
one of many optional mounting structures. These
methods facilitate quick installation after site prep-
aration, enabling wiring to be done during rough
building construction.
An "install/removal tool" (not shown) can be used to
easily attach the "twist-lock" housing and eyeball
assembly to its base and to attach skirts and bubbles—
without the need for a ladder. It can also be used to
detach these components.
Hard/Tile Ceiling Mounting
The dome's base can be surface mounted directly to
sheet rock ceilings, wood ceilings, or ceilings with spe-
cial finishes (Figure Chapter 1-3). The base can also be
mounted directly to tile ceiling T-bars where they
intersect (Figure Chapter 1-4). Mounting hardware is
supplied with the dome.

ceilings

Mounting Structures (Optional)
The dome's base can be mounted to many indoor
mounting structures (Figure Chapter 1-5) that attach to
indoor walls and ceilings. These structures are as
