Step 1. Install the camera
The camera includes hardware to install it directly
to a ceiling (horizontal surface) or wall (vertical

through the mounting surface, or through the drop
cable channel in the base. To install the camera:
1. Remove the dome cover. Unscrew the three
captive screws, and then lift the cover off of
the mounting base assembly. A tether cable
may be attached to the dome and the base
assembly.

the holes for the mounting screws. Also mark the location of a hole for the camera drop cables
if needed.
6. Drill holes into the mounting surface as needed. Also, drill a hole for the drop cable, if needed.
7. Route extension cables from the power source and LAN switch (or LAN with PoE) to the
mounting location.
8. Connect the network LAN and power extension cables to the camera drop cables:
a. Connect the Ethernet LAN cable to the camera LAN drop cable. Protect the connection
from moisture and other contamination, if necessary. A Weatherproof Ethernet Fitting is
