Important Information Regarding Camera Mounting
Please read the following information before mounting the camera. Consult an
authorized dealer for mounting.
Caution
• Make sure you attach the safety wire when mounting the camera on a
ceiling to prevent the camera from falling.
Note
• If you install the camera outdoors, the external microphone or speaker must
be outdoor compatible.
• Use screws that are appropriate for the material of ceiling.
• The included screws are for use with wooden ceilings only.
• Do not drive the screws into a soft material. Drive the screws into a secure,
25 mm (1 inch) thick area of the ceiling, such as a crossbeam, otherwise the
camera may fall. If there is no crossbeam, place a board on the other side
of the ceiling to make sure the camera is securely mounted.
• The pull-out strength of the installation area must be at least 294 N (30 kgf)
per screw.
• To ensure that camera images are displayed properly, mount the camera to
a flat horizontal surface.
• The ceiling mounting cover must be removed in order to insert or remove
the SD memory card.
• The camera's MAC address and serial number are printed on the bottom of
the camera and are needed in order for camera configuration and
maintenance. Make a note of both of them before mounting the camera.
• Mounting and cabling instructions described in this document follow
generally accepted guidelines suitable for residential installations. In some
areas, commercial and industrial installations are regulated by local or state
ordinances. For such installations, contact your local building department or
building inspector for more details.
• Camera images can be viewed in relatively dark areas, however, image
quality decreases when viewing dark images. We recommend using
supplemental lighting for best results.
• Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or halogen light may damage the
camera's image sensor. Mount the camera appropriately.
• When mounting the camera, make sure to wrap the AC adaptor cord (if
used) around the hooks as shown to ensure secure connections.
Cable hook
• Mount the camera in a sheltered place where it is not directly exposed to
direct sunlight or the elements.
• Avoid installations where the camera can be exposed to air containing high
levels of salt, ammonia, sulfur etc. (Exposure to such conditions can reduce
the operating life of the camera)
• Do not directly touch the lens cover. Clean the lens cover with a dry and soft
cloth if necessary.

Mounting the Camera

Wiring through a hole made in the ceiling
1.
Place the base cover against the ceiling in the desired installation
location. Open a hole in the ceiling as shown in the mounting reference
diagram.
• The 45 mm (1 3/4 inches) area around the center of the hole should be
flat, and without any bumps or grooves.When the ceiling's surface is not
flat, waterproof the area between the base cover and the ceiling to
make sure there are no gaps between the holes.
