Mounting the camera

Note Read before starting work.
• Special skills are required to install this unit.
• If you install the camera on a rainy day, be sure that rainwater does
not get inside the camera.
• The camera's mass is approx. 2.3 kg (including the mounting
bracket). Take care to avoid dropping the camera during installation.
• Hold the camera by the stay cover while performing installation work.
• When you mount the camera body to the ceiling, be sure to wear
safety goggles to protect your eyes from falling objects.
Create a hole in the ceiling
When mounting the camera to a wall, follow these
instructions while replacing "ceiling" with "wall".
Note
• Verify the strength of the ceiling. Insufficient strength may cause the
camera to fall. If ceiling strength is insufficient, make sure to increase
the strength before installation.
