Select the Mounting Location

1. Select the mounting location.
Select a secure installation location and mounting position for the device. Ideally, this is a
location where the device cannot be interfered with either intentionally or accidentally.
Ensure that the location has the appropriate clearance from power and lightning conductors,
in accordance with NEC725 and NEC800 (CEC Rule 16-224 and CEC Section 60).

Notice!
MIC cameras must be secured to one of the following surfaces:
- Concrete (Solid/Cast)
- Concrete Masonry Unit (Concrete Block)
- Brick (all types)
- Metal (Steel/Aluminum, minimum 1/8-in. thick)
Caution!
Risk of lightning strikes
If the camera is installed in a highly exposed location where lightning strikes may occur, then
Bosch recommends installing a separate lightning conductor within 0.5 m (1.6 ft) of the
!
camera and at least 1.5 m (4.9 ft) higher than the camera. A good earth bonding connection
to the camera housing itself will provide protection against damage from secondary strikes.
The camera housing itself is constructed to cope with secondary strikes. If the correct
lightning protection is applied, then no damage to the internal electronics or camera should
result.
