Mounting the Camera

Three mounting methods are available, as shown here. Confirm which side is the top and bottom of the camera when mounting; do
not mount the camera upside down. Consult an authorized dealer for mounting.
Caution:
• Do not drive the screws into a soft material. Drive the screws into a secure area of the wall or ceiling, such as a column, other-
wise the camera may fall and be damaged.
• Make sure you attach the safety wire when mounting the camera, to prevent the camera from falling.
Note:
• For BB-HCM511A: The camera is intended for indoor use only and should not be mounted outdoors.
• For BB-HCM531A: If you install the camera outdoors, the external microphone or speaker must be outdoor compatible.
• Use screws that are appropriate for the material of the wall or ceiling.
• The included screws are for use with wooden walls or ceilings only.
• To ensure that camera images are displayed properly, do not mount the camera on an incline. Mount the camera so that it is per-
pendicular to the floor. Do not mount the camera upside down.
• Mounting and cabling instructions described in this document follow generally accepted guidelines suitable for residential instal-
lations. In some areas, commercial and industrial installations are regulated by local or state ordinances. For such installations,
contact user's local building department or building inspector for more details.
• Camera images can be viewed in relatively dark areas, however, image quality decreases when viewing dark images. We rec-
ommend using supplemental lighting for best results.
• Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or halogen light may damage the camera's image sensor. Mount the camera appropriately.
• When mounting the camera, make sure to wrap the AC adaptor cord (if used) and other cables (external microphone or speaker
cable, video cable, etc.) around the hooks as shown to ensure secure connections.
