Mounting Location and Orientation Options

Bosch designed MIC IP 7100i cameras for use in outdoor applications. In an enclosed
installation area (for example, in a foundry, near a furnace, etc.), temperatures outside of the
camera might exceed +65 °C (+149 °F). If you install a camera in an enclosed area, make sure
that the operating temperature of the camera is a maximum of +60 °C (+140 °F). Make sure
that air circulates around the camera to supply cooling.
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 orientation for the device. Ideally, this is a
location where the device cannot be interfered with either intentionally or accidentally.
Select a location where the MIC camera will not touch materials such as steel straps or cables.
You can install the camera:
–
–
To have an installation rated IP67, you must use the appropriate IP67 Connector Kit from
Bosch.
Confirm that no residual water or moisture is in the bottom of camera. Ground the camera as
described in the chapter "Installing a MIC Camera on a Hinged DCA."
You can install the camera in one of three orientations:
–
–
–
The most common type of mounting location is the top of a pole suitable to support CCTV
equipment and that provides a robust mounting platform to minimize camera motion and
typically has a large base cabinet for mounting ancillary equipment such as power supplies.
Other locations for mounting the camera include the top of a building, the side (wall) of a
building, the corner of a building, and under the eave of a building.
The camera can also be mounted on the side of a lamp post, pole, or similar column using the
Pole Mount Bracket (MIC-PMB). Be aware that lamp posts can often be subject to movement
and are not suitable platforms in all conditions or for all applications.
