2 Installation Procedure
2.1 Mounting the Camera Base
Note: The camera base mounting procedure describes how to mount the
camera directly to a solid surface such as a wall or a hard ceiling. Optional kits
are available that allow the camera to be mounted in other fashions (such as
in a suspended ceiling). If you are using one of these kits, refer to the
instructions included with the kit to determine how to mount the camera.
1. Remove the dome from the camera base.
(For shipping, the dome will be held to the camera base with tape.
Remove the tape to separate the dome from the camera base.)

2. If you are installing an indoor dome camera, skip this step and go on to
step 3 now.
If you are installing an outdoor dome camera:
Decide whether you will insert the network cable and the secondary
cable through the cable pass-through hole in the side of the camera
base or in the back of the camera base. (The secondary cable is the
cable that can be used to carry alternate camera power, digital I/O, RS-
485, and audio signals to the camera.)
Use the round plug and the plug insertion tool included in the dome
camera kit to plug the hole that you will not be using as shown below.
Note that the plug should have an O-ring on it as shown in the drawing.

3. Tape the drilling template included with the camera to the wall or the
ceiling in the location where the camera will be mounted, and mark the
location of the mounting holes and the location of the cable pass-through
hole.
Notes: The anchors you use to mount the camera must be able to support at
least two times the weight of the camera. Indoor dome camera models weigh
600 grams (1.3 poounds). Outdoor dome camera models weigh 1.0 kilogram
(2.2 pounds).
For easier access to the mounting holes, some installers prefer to unscrew the
three screws that hold the camera assembly to the camera base and to
remove the camera assembly from the base. If you do this, when you reattach
the camera assembly to the base, do not overtighten the three screws. When
reinstalling the screws, they should be tightened to a maximum of 25 cNm
(35.4 in-oz). Overtightening the screws can result in non-repairable
damage to the housing.
4. Drill holes in the wall or ceiling at the three points you marked for the
mounting holes. The holes should be appropriately sized for the type of
anchor you will be using.
If you are installing an indoor dome camera or if you are installing an
outdoor dome camera and you will be routing cables through the pass-
through hole in the back of the camera base, also drill a 23 mm (7/8") hole
for the cable pass-through.
5. Insert appropriate anchors into the three mounting holes.

6. Mount the camera base on the wall or ceiling by placing three screws
through the mounting holes in the camera base and into the anchors as
shown in the drawing on the next page.
If you are installing an outdoor dome camera, be sure that each screw has
an O-ring as shown in the drawing and be sure to place the weather-proof
gasket between the camera base and the wall or ceiling as shown in the
drawing. The O-rings and the gasket are included in the outdoor dome
installationkit.(TheO-ringsandthegasketarenotrequiredforindoordome
cameras.)
If you are routing the camera cables through the hole in the back of the
camera base, pull approximately 15 cm (6 inches) of cable through the hole
and into the camera base before you mount it.
When you are finished mounting the camera base,
a. Go on to Section 2.2 if you are working with an outdoor dome camera
and you want to route cables through the hole in the side of the camera
base.
b. Go on to Section 2.3 if you routed the camera cables through the back
of the camera base.

2.2 Installing Camera Cables Through the Side
Pass-Through Hole
Notes: This procedure describes how to install the cables using the weather-
proof connection included with the outdoor dome camera kit.
The procedure describes an installation that uses two cables, an Ethernet
cable and a secondary cable. If you are only using a single PoE cable,
installation is similar, but uses a grommet with only one groove.
1. Screw the nipple into the side of the camera base. Be sure to tighten the
nipple enough so that the O-ring is squeezed between the nipple and the
camera base. This is required to make a weather-proof seal.

2. Insert the cable(s) through the cap nut as shown below.
3. Place the two cables in the grooves of the split grommet as shown below.
Make sure that the ends of the cables extend 15 cm (6 inches) past the
grommet as shown below.
Note: If you are using only one cable, use the split grommet with only one
groove.

4. For the connection to be weather proof, the cables must fit snugly in the
grommet's grooves. Check now and make sure that the cables fit snugly in
the grooves. If the cables are a loose fit:
a. Remove the grommet.
b. Increase the diameter of the cables where they will pass through the
grooves in the grommet by wrapping several layers of high quality
plastic tape around each cable.
c. Reapply the grommet to the cable and check the cables for a snug fit in
the grooves.
5. Route the cable ends through the hole in the center of the nipple as shown
below.
6. Continue pulling the cables through the hole until the grommet contacts
the nipple and then press the grommet into the hole in the center of the
nipple.

Start with step 1 if you are using a network and a secondary cable.
If you are only using a network cable, go to step 4.
1. Prepare the secondary cable:
Ifyouwill onlybemakingconnectionstothemainterminalblock,stripabout
5 cm (2 inches) off of the cable’s outer sheath and loop the cable as shown
below.
If you will be making connections to both the main terminal block and to the
RS-485 terminal block, strip about 13 cm off of the cable’s outer sheath and
route the wires directly to the terminal blocks.
