Mounting Solutions
The camera can be mounted on a vertical pole with the camera facing forward using the Pole
Mount with Surface Mount (SMAX-0136). With this accessory combination, the camera faces
forward with a 10 tilt.
The camera comes with two (2) glands used for waterproof installation: Cable gland and Conduit
Gland.
Cable Gland
Conduit Gland
For use with an EXTERIOR-GRADE
Ethernet cable. Exterior-grade Ethernet
cables are already waterproof.
For use with 3/8” flexible conduit.
Recommended when an exterior-grade
Ethernet cable is not available or when other
input/output devices or an external power
adaptor will be connected to the camera.
Determine the type of waterproof solution that is applicable to your installation requirements and
prepare the necessary accessories or purchase extra materials.
Installation using Naked Cable: This installation uses the supplied cable gland and an
exterior-grade Ethernet cable (not supplied).
Installation Using Flexible Conduit: This installation uses the supplied conduit gland
and a 3/8” flexible conduit (not supplied). This is the recommended solution if other
input / output devices or an external power adaptor will be connected to the camera.

Pole Mount with Surface Mount (SMAX-0136)
Exterior-grade Ethernet Cable
Step 1: Attach the Pole Mount Kit
1. Using a screwdriver, turn the screw head of the wire strap counter-clockwise continuously
until the two ends are detached.
2. Insert the wire strap through the strap holes of the pole mount.

3. Do steps 1 and 2 to the other wire strap.
4. Position the pole mount with the cable path up and encircle the pole with the wire straps.
NOTE: The wire straps can hold between 134 ~ 228 mm (5.28 ~ 9 in.) pole diameter.
5. Continuously turn the screw head clockwise to adjust the wire strap until it snugly fits the pole.
Do the same to the other wire strap.

Installation Procedures using Flex
Conduit
This section provides step-by-step procedures in installing the camera on a vertical pole using
the tilted mount and how to waterproof the cabling connection using a flexible conduit. with 3/8”
trade size (not supplied). This is the recommended solution when connecting an external power
adaptor, audio in/out, or digital input/output (DI/DO) devices to the camera.
Before installation, prepare the following tools and accessories which are not included in the
camera package, thus must be purchased separately:
Pole Mount with Surface Mount (SMAX-0136)
Flexible Conduit (Trade size = 1/2”)
Ethernet Cable
Step 1: Attach the Pole Mount Kit
1. Using a screwdriver, turn the screw head of the wire strap counter-clockwise continuously
until the two ends are detached.
2. Insert the wire strap through the strap holes of the pole mount.

Appendices
This section describes the procedures in preparing the external devices that you can connect to
the camera. The camera supports DC12V power input, Digital Input and Output (DI/DO) and
Audio Input and Output devices using the bundled terminal blocks. The use of these devices,
however, is optional.
Connecting a Power Adaptor (Optional)
The camera consumes 9.6W power when powered by a Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch that is
IEEE802.3af compliant. In case of using a non-PoE switch or your PoE switch has limited power
supply, you can purchase a power adaptor and directly connect the camera to a power outlet. The
power adaptor must be connected to the supplied terminal block before use.
To do this, follow the procedures below:
1. Loosen the screws of the 12V and GND pins of the power terminal block.
2. Take note that a standard power adaptor cable has two (2) different wires:
White stripe: Connects to 12V Pin
Connects to GND Pin
