4 Installing a Recessed Mount
4.1 Overview
This chapter details how to install a recessed mount for the
VEZ-400 Mini PTZ Dome.
4.2 Installing the Recessed Mount
To mount to a recess mount, do the following:
1. Determine a secure location for the recessed mount
(supplied separately).
Figure 4.1 Recess Mount Dimensions
NOTICE!
The image sensors in modern cameras are highly sensitive and
require special care for proper performance and extended
lifetime. Follow the guidelines for optimum results with your
camera:
– Do not expose to direct sunlight or bright spotlights in
operating and nonoperating conditions.
– Avoid bright lights in the field of view of the camera. Bright
lights cause a “smearing” effect, which is visible as white
lines above and below the highlight. Prolonged exposure to
bright lights may cause bleaching of the sensor's color
filters. This will be visible as colored spots in the picture
and is irreversible.
