Mounting on a ceiling or mounting pole

To place the mount, follow these instructions:
The first step in mounting the MT250 ceiling bracket is to fasten the baseplate to the ceiling (Figure 6.).
If you choose to mount the camera onto a standard VESA polemount, the baseplate has two VESA75
mounting possibilities (Figure 5.), making it easy to find the best position for the bracket.
For safety reasons, follow exactly the warning under Mounting and Installation, and make sure that the
mounting construction is capable of supporting four times the weight of the Product.

black M3*6 security screws and one 1/4”-20 UNC Central Camera Screw.
3. Connect the cables to the camera and slide the camera on its plate into place (Figure 8). The
construction has been designed in such a way that the camera can be hung up and be released so
the installer has his or her hands free.
