overall image quality. Keep the protective covers on the outside of the dome bubble until the installation is
complete.
lRemove the dome cover by releasing the elastic strap holding the dome cover to the camera base.
Inserting Cables through the Sealing Grommet
Always use the provided sealing grommet to prevent dust and debris from entering the camera.
1. Remove the sealing grommet from the camera base.
2. Push the Ethernet cable through the grommet.
If you are installing the indoor model (H4SL-D), you should be able to simply push the cable, crimped or
uncrimped, through the grommet by hand.
If you are installing the outdoor model (H4SL-DO), use one of the following methods:
Removing the Dome Cover 7

a. If the Ethernet cable is uncrimped, push the cable through the grommet.
b. If the Ethernet cable is already crimped, place the grommet piercing cap on the Ethernet
connector then push the cable through the grommet.
Ensure that the orientation of the cable and grommet matches the one shown in the image.
Using the Surface Mount Adapter
The dome camera is provided with a surface mount adapter that can be mounted to a wall, ceiling or electrical
box.
If the dome camera needs to be installed in a different way, use one of the other mounting adapter options and
refer to their installation manuals for more information.
lIn-ceiling mounting adapter (H4SL-MT-DCIL)
lPendant NPT mounting adapter (H4SL-MT-NPTA)
oPendant wall mounting adapter (CM-MT-WALL) — must be used with NPT mounting adapter.
Mounting the Dome Camera Using theBottom Cable Entry
Perform the following steps if the required cables will be coming from inside the mounting surface and the
camera will be mounted immediately over the cable hole. Use this procedure on surfaces that can be easily
drilled into, and when the cables should be kept out of sight.
Perform the following steps to mount the dome camera to a ceiling or wall:
1. Use the mounting template to drill 4 mounting holes into the mounting surface and drill the cable entry
hole.
2. Pull the required Ethernet cable through the cable entry hole.
Make sure the Ethernet cable is threaded through the sealing grommet from the camera base. For more
information, see Inserting Cables through the Sealing Grommet on the previous page
3. Drive 4 screws to fasten the mounting adapter to the ceiling or wall.
Using the Surface Mount Adapter 8

Mounting the Dome Camera Using the Side Cable Entry
Perform the following steps if you will be mounting to a surface with the required cables coming out of an
external conduit pipe. Use this procedure if the mounting surface cannot be easily cut, or when cables must be
brought along the outside of the mounting surface.
1. Use the mounting template to drill four mounting holes into the mounting surface.
Make sure the mounting template is aligned to where the conduit will enter the mounting adapter.
2. Pull the required Ethernet cable through the conduit.
3. Slide the side cable cover off the mounting adapter.
Mounting the Dome Camera Using the Side Cable Entry 9

4. Depending on the conduit used, make the required adjustments to the side cable entry hole:
lIf you are using a 1/2" or 20mm interior conduit, install the provided side conduit cover on to the
mounting adapter.
lIf using ¾” or 25mm interior conduit, remove the center knockout piece on the provided side
conduit cover then install the side conduit cover on to the mounting adapter.
Mounting the Dome Camera Using the Side Cable Entry 10

lIf using ½” or ¾” exterior conduit, install a conduit plate to an external conduit adaptor then slide
the mounting adaptor over the conduit and plate assembly. Ensure the plate is compatible with the
type of conduit used.
If you are installing the outdoor model (H4SL-DO), you may need to cut off part of the rubber
gasket on the mounting adapter to make room for the plate.
Mounting the Dome Camera Using the Side Cable Entry 11

5. Drive 4 screws to fasten the mounting adapter to the ceiling or wall.
Mounting the Dome Camera to an Electrical Box
Perform the following steps if the required electrical components and cables will be contained in an electrical
gang box inside the mounting surface.
1. Pull the required Ethernet cable through the cable entry hole.
Make sure the Ethernet cable is threaded through the sealing grommet from the camera base. For more
information, see Inserting Cables through the Sealing Grommet on page7.
2. Use pan head screws to install the mounting adapter to the electrical box.
Select the hole configuration that matches the electrical box shape:
A — UK standard single gang box
B — Octagon gang box
D — US standard single gang box
Installing the Camera Base to the Mounting Adapter
After you install the mounting adapter, mount the camera base to the adapter.
Mounting the Dome Camera to an Electrical Box 12

1. Attach the lanyard on the mounting adapter to the anchor on the camera base.
2. Pull the required Ethernet cable through the cable entry hole on the camera base.
3. Install the grommet into the cable entry hole on the camera base.
Make sure the grommet flange is securely seated on the inside and outside of the cable entry hole.
4. Connect the cable to the Ethernet port.
The Link LED will turn on once a network link has been established.
5. Align the large orange arrow on the camera base to the side cable entry hole on the mounting adapter
then press the camera base into the mounting adapter. The camera base clicks into place and is held
securely.
(Optional) Using the USB Wi-Fi Adapter
If you have a USB Wi-Fi Adapter (H4-AC-WIFI), attach it to the camera's micro USB port to access the camera's
mobile web interface.
After you connect to the Wi-Fi signal broadcast by the adapter, you can access the mobile web interface from
any mobile device using the following address:
http://camera.lan

Assigning an IP Address
The camera automatically obtains an IP address when it is connected to a network.
NOTE: If the camera cannot obtain an IP address from a DHCP server, it will use Zero Configuration Networking
(Zeroconf) to choose an IP address. When set using Zeroconf, the IP address is in the 169.254.0.0/16 subnet.
The IP address settings can be changed using one of the following methods:
lThe mobile web interface using the USB Wifi Adapter. For more information, see (Optional) Using the USB
Wi-Fi Adapter on the previous page.
lCamera's web browser interface: http://<camera IP address>/.
lNetwork Video Management software application (for example, the Avigilon Control Center™ software).
lARP/Ping method. For more information, see Setting the IP Address Using the ARP/Ping Method on
page22.
NOTE: The default camera username is administrator with no password.
Accessing the Live VideoStream
Live video stream can be viewed using one of the following methods:
lThe mobile web interface using the USB Wifi Adapter. For more information, see (Optional) Using the USB
Wi-Fi Adapter on the previous page.
