Mounting Location and Mounting Orientation
7.1
Select the Mounting Location
MIC cameras are designed for easy installation in various locations such as directly onto
buildings and poles suitable to support CCTV equipment.
Select a secure installation location and mounting position for the device. Ideally, this is a
location where the device cannot be interfered with either intentionally or accidentally.
Ensure that the location has the appropriate clearance from power and lightning conductors,
in accordance with NEC725 and NEC800 (CEC Rule 16-224 and CEC Section 60).
Do not install the device near:

Notice!
MIC cameras must be secured to one of the following surfaces:
- Concrete (Solid/Cast)
- Concrete Masonry Unit (Concrete Block)
- Brick (all types)
- Metal (Steel/Aluminum, minimum 1/8-in. thick)
Caution!
Risk of lightning strikes
If the camera is installed in a highly exposed location where lightning strikes may occur, then
Bosch recommends installing a separate lightning conductor within 0.5 m (1.6 ft) of the
!
camera and at least 1.5 m (4.9 ft) higher than the camera. A good earth bonding connection
to the camera housing itself will provide protection against damage from secondary strikes.
The camera housing itself is constructed to cope with secondary strikes. If the correct
lightning protection is applied, then no damage to the internal electronics or camera should
result.
Installation in a damp environment (for example, near a coastline)
The fasteners and fixtures shipped with the camera help to keep the camera secure. Always
use Bosch-supplied screws and other fasteners when installing or performing maintenance on
the camera.
The camera head has three (3) plastic screws that are factory-installed to prevent corrosion in
units which do not have accessories installed on the camera head. If you install a sunshield or
an illuminator accessory, you will remove those screws and replace them with the screws that
ship with each accessory.
Before installation, inspect the metal parts of the camera for paint that is chipped or
otherwise damaged. If you notice any paint damage, touch up the damage with locally
available paint or sealants.

Any heat sources
Any overhead power lines, power circuits, or electrical lights, or where the device may
contact power lines, circuits, or lights
Ensure that the selected mounting surface is capable of supporting the combined weight
of the camera and mounting hardware (sold separately) under all expected conditions of
load, vibration, and temperature.
