Preparing the Installation

Removing the Dome Cover

Remove the dome cover by loosening the screws that fix the cover to the base. Use a T20 Pin-In star-
shaped driver to loosen the screws.
Note: Be careful not to scratch or touch the dome bubble. The resulting marks or fingerprints may
affect the overall image quality. Keep the protective covers on the outside of the dome bubble
until the installation is complete.

Mounting and Aiming Video Analytics Cameras

When installing an Avigilon video analytics camera, follow the listed mounting and aiming recommendations
to maximize the camera's analytics capabilities:
The camera should be installed above 274 cm (9').
l
The camera should tilt downwards no more than 45 degrees.
l
The camera image should be level with the horizon line.
l
The camera should be mounted to a stable surface to minimize the physical movement of the
l
camera after installation.
For more details, see Designing a Site for Video Analytics. The document is available on the Avigilon
website.

Inserting Cables through the Sealing Grommet

Unless specified otherwise, you must pull the required cables through the sealing grommet included with
the camera when using a cable entry hole. If installing an indoor camera, this step may not be required.
