2. Installing the Bracket
The bracket can be adjusted at two different points:
1. Adjusting the ball joint (A). The bracket allows the ball joint to be rotated in a 35-degree
spatial angle in any direction.
2. Adjusting the foot (B). If the necessary extent of rotation exceeds 35 degrees, then the
foot of the bracket can be rotated by 180 degrees extending the 35 degree spatial angle
by an additional 20 degrees as seen on the figure.
B
Bracket foot rotated by 180
degrees, which enables the
camera to be rotated by an
additional 20 degrees.
enables the camera to be
rotated by an additional 20°
degrees.

Steps of rotating the foot
1. Remove the four screws (1) located at the back of the foot. (Use a size 4 Allen key).
2. Rotate the foot (2) by 180 degrees.
3. Place the screws back into the holes and screw them back on.
2.1 Mounting
The bracket can be mounted on different surfaces. Use appropriate screws for installation, the
surface on which the camera will be mounted determines what screws should be used.
Do not overtighten the screws.
Damages resulting from inappropriate installation void the warranty.

3. Setting up the Camera
The camera is equipped with two cables. The first cable is responsible for the power, trigger and
serial connections while the second cable is used for communication via TCP/IP. The lengths of
the pre-assembled cables are 1.5 meters and they can be extended (if necessary) according to
the following:
RJ45: with e.g. inline coupler
Power/Trigger/Serial: with e.g. junction box

For cabling use quality cables certified for outdoor use!
Using improper cables will void the warranty! Water may enter the inside of the camera
through loose cable ends. Only use smooth circular cables (6-8mm in diameter).
Seal the unused cable endings (end sleeves) before connecting to power in order to avoid
any damages caused by a possible short circuit.
