  • Page 4: Installation Overview

    The mount must support up to 30 lbs. (15 KG). The F-Series is both an analog camera and an IP camera. The video from the camera can be viewed over a traditional analog video network, and it can be viewed by streaming it over an IP network using MPEG-4, M-JPEG and H.264 encoding.

  • Page 5: Location Considerations

    F-Series cameras must be mounted upright on top of the mounting surface, with the base below the camera. The unit should not be hung upside down. The F-Series camera can be secured to the mount with three to five 1/4-20 bolts or studs as shown below.

  • Page 6: Prior To Cutting/Drilling Holes

    Prior to Cutting/Drilling Holes When selecting a mounting location for the F-Series camera, consider cable lengths and cable routing. Ensure the cables are long enough, given the proposed mounting locations and cable routing requirements, and route the cables before you install the components.
  • Page 7 Ensure the camera is properly grounded. Typical to good grounding practices, the camera chassis ground should be provided using the lowest resistance path possible. FLIR requires using a grounding strap anchored to the grounding lug on the back plate of the camera housing and connected to the nearest earth-grounding point.
