Installation
WARNING

ˎ If you attach the camera in the height such as the wall or the ceiling, etc.,
entrust the installation to an experienced contractor or installer.
ˎ If you install the camera at a height, ensure that the installation location and
its material are strong enough to withstand a weight of 15 kg (33 lb 11 oz) or
more, and then install the camera securely. If the ceiling is not strong enough,
the camera may fall and cause serious injury.
ˎ Do not pull on any cables forcefully, as a connection may become loose.
ˎ To prevent the camera from falling, make sure to attach the supplied wire rope.
ˎ If you attach the camera to the ceiling, check periodically, at least once a year,
to ensure that the connection has not loosened. If conditions warrant, make
this periodic check more frequently.

8 Notes on waterproofing of cable connection area 
Despite the fact that this unit is rated IP66, the cables and/or the connectors
join to the outside are not waterproof. To prevent water ingress from the cables
and/or the connectors, waterproof them with the supplied waterproof tape as
follows. Otherwise, there may be a risk of water entering through the cables

and/or the connectors and shorting the unit or the connectors.
1
Connect all the required cables and the ground wire.
2
To obtain optimal waterproofing, tear off the liner before wrapping,
then stretch the tape to twice its original length. (-1)
If it is not fully stretched, the waterproofing function of the tape can not be
achieved.
3
Overlap the tape at least half of its width when wrapping. (-2)
Notes
ˎ Do not press the network cable tab down when wrapping it.
ˎ When you wrap the power input cable, start from the heat shrinkable tube.
Make sure at least 30 mm (1
the power supply equipment is wrapped. (2-c)
ˎ Since the connector of the power input cable has gaps, wrap the connector
part two-fold.
ˎ Make sure at least 10 mm (
