i
Notice!
Use only PoE IEEE 802.3at / 802.3af Type 1, Class 3 approved devices.
Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) can be connected at the same time as a 24 VAC and 12 VDC power

PoE by default, and seamlessly switches to auxiliary input if PoE fails.
When PoE returns, the camera seamlessly switches back to PoE as its default power source.
Cables
For cable requirements, refer to Wiring the camera base.

FLEXIDOME panoramic 5100i IR Installation | en 13
Bosch Security Systems B.V. Installation manual 2022-10 | V02 | F.01U.385.630
The mounting plate is used to fix the camera to a flat surface or together with a mounting
accessory. It offers different holes and slots for a variety of mounting options.
1
2
3
4
5
1A
Mounting holes for 4inch or 4S
electrical box installation. There are
four mounting holes available on the
mounting plate, but you need only two
for the installation. You can install the
mounting plate in different
orientations.
2B
Mounting holes for standard wall or
ceiling installation. Use four screws. If
required, use plugs (for concrete
walls/ceilings).
3PIP
Mounting holes for installation with
NDA-5080-PIP and NDA-5080-PIPW.
Required screws are provided with
NDA-5080-PIP and NDA-5080-PIPW.
4C
Mounting holes for double gang box
installation. Align the mounting plate
with the four screw holes in the
electrical gang box.
5D
Mounting holes for single gang box.
Align the two slotted holes on the
mounting plate with the two screw
holes in the electrical gang box.
Additionally, the camera can cover various mounting options when combined with the
available accessories. Refer to Optional mounting accessories for the available accessories.
i
Notice!
The plugs and screws for surface mounting are not supplied with the camera.
1. Position the mounting plate with the center hole on top of the cable exit on the surface.

14 en | Installation FLEXIDOME panoramic 5100i IR
2022-10 | V02 | F.01U.385.630 Installation manual Bosch Security Systems B.V.
2. Mark the positions of the screw holes on the surface.
Note: For standard installation, use the mounting holes marked with a B on the mounting
plate. For a different installation, for example for an installation on an electrical box, use
different mounting holes. For more information, refer to the table above.
i
Notice!
If you need more space for cables, NDA-U-CBB provides additional space underneath the
camera for wiring and cables.
15 - 50cm
(6 - 20”)
NDA-U-CBB
3. Pull the cable through the center hole of the mounting plate.
Note: If the cable is not coming out the wall, but along the wall, then the mounting plate
needs to be installed in line with the cable. That way the cable won’t come through the
center hole. The mounting plate has one side available for side entry of a cable. Remove
the door on the camera base.
4. If you are installing on a concrete wall/ceiling, use an appropriate size drill and screws.
Note: Allow 15-50cm (6-20inch) cable length to ensure proper installation and to
prevent excessive cable length. If you are using 4S box or installing on wood, this step is
not needed.

5.1.3 Installing the camera base
1. Put the RJ-45 punch-through aid on the network cable.
2. Remove the tube(s) from the M20 rubber grommet(s).
3. Put one M20 rubber grommet on the tip of the RJ-45 punch-through aid.
4. If auxiliary connection cables are used, pull it through the other cable inlet. Only one
cable per grommet to ensure watertight installation.
5. Slightly pull back the M20 rubber grommets on both cables to make sure that the
grommet sleeve faces the source of the cables.
6. Fix the M20 rubber grommets in both cable inlets to make sure that the cable inlets are
firmly closed.
