Mounting on a Flat Surface
Use this mounting solution to install the camera on a flat surface such as a hard or dropped
ceiling and straight or tilted walls.
Step 1: Drill the Holes
1. Using the supplied drill template, mark the screw holes location on the surface, then drill the
holes and insert the plastic plugs.
2. Determine how the network cable will be routed: pass through the surface or along the
surface.
If the network cable will pass through the surface:
a. Mark and drill the conduit hole location on the surface as shown on the drill
template.
b. Remove the metal cap covering the bottom conduit hole of the camera, and
attach the cap to the side conduit hole to close it. Route the network cable to
pass this hole from the surface.
If the network cable will be routed along the surface, skip to the next step.

b. Insert the sealing nut into the conduit gland body and then attach the clamping nut to
complete the cable solution.
Step 4: Install the Camera to the Surface

2. Align the camera screw holes and the conduit hole (if necessary) to the holes on the surface
and attach the three (3) supplied screws to secure the camera.

conduit hole and attach the clamping nut to the conduit gland body. If the cable passes
through the surface, skip to step 2.
2. Connect the network cable to the Ethernet port of the camera.
3. Connect the other end of the network cable to a Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) switch or injector.
