Step 1.
Mounting the camera
These cameras can be mounted on a wall or ceiling that has sufficient strength to support it. The video/
power drop cable from the camera can be routed either through mounting surface or through a cable guide
on the edge of the mounting base.
This camera can be installed using a pendant mounting bracket with flange adapter or junction
NOTE
box. Please refer to the instructions provided with those accessories for special considerations when
installing the camera with them.
1.
Unscrew the three (3) dome assembly screws, and then separate the dome assembly from the
mounting base. The dome is tethered to the base with a strap. NOTE: To keep the lens assembly
clean, do not remove the plastic protective packaging applied to the lens at this time.
2.
Using the mounting template or the mounting base, mark the holes for the camera mounting
screws.
3.
Drill holes for the mounting screws into the mounting surface. The mounting screws and wall
inserts provided is appropriate for most surfaces. However, depending on the surface material and
strength, more appropriate fasteners may be required.
4.
Drill a 3/4" hole through the mounting surface for the drop cable, if necessary.
5.
If using wall inserts for the mounting screws, install the wall inserts at this time.
6.
Attach the mounting base the surface using the appropriate fasteners. If the camera drop cable will
route through a cable guide, lay the cable in the guide before tightening the mounting screws.
7.
If the drop cable will route through a hole in the mounting surface, route the cable through the hole,
and then reassemble the camera on the mounting base. Seal the hole adequately (with caulk or
other sealant) to block moisture and other contaminants.
8.
Connect the camera drop cable to video and power extension cables.
