Installation Procedures
This section describes the procedures in installing the camera on the wall using the integrated
bracket.
IMPORTANT! Before installation, make sure the wall can bear more than the weight of the
camera and its bracket.
NOTE: The following procedures and pictures are based on the cable going along the wall; same
procedures apply when the cable will pass through the wall, unless otherwise specified.
Step 1: Before Installation
The following steps may or may not be applicable to your installation environment. However, if
needed, these steps must be done before installing the camera.
1. As needed, insert the memory card into the memory card slot. See How to Install / Remove
a Memory Card (Optional) on page 35.
2. Determine if the camera will be used in normal or corridor format. See How to Position
Camera for Corridor View Format on page 37.
3. Attach the sunshield. See How to Attach the Sunshield on page 39.
Step 2: Attach the Camera Bracket
1. Attach the bracket to the camera.

2. Secure the bracket by threading the lock knot.
Step 3: Mount the Camera
1. Attach the supplied drill template sticker on the surface.
2. Determine how the cable will be routed: pass through a hole on the surface or along the
surface.
If the cables will pass through a hole on the surface, drill the cable hole and the three
(3) screw holes on the surface.
If the cables will be routed along the surface, just drill the three (3) screw holes.
3. Detach the drill template sticker and insert the plastic plugs into the screw holes.
4. If the cables will pass through a hole on the surface, route the cables through the hole on
the wall.
If the cables will go along the wall, route the cables through the gap on the bracket.

Step 5: Waterproof the Cable Connections
The camera and the cables are resistant to salt, water, weak acid, alcohol, oil, grease and other
common solvents. However, users must ensure that the cable connection and the network side
cable itself are also protected from different environmental factors.
There are two ways to waterproof the Ethernet port cable.
Bundled Cable Gland
Bundled Conduit Gland
For use with an exterior-grade Ethernet cable
(not included in the package).
See How to Waterproof the Ethernet Cable
Using the Cable Gland on page 20.
For use with 1/2” flexible conduit (not
included in the package).
See How to Waterproof the Cable Using
the Conduit Gland on page 24.
