– Make sure that the installation conditions comply with the specified stresses of vibration
and shock as mentioned in the datasheet.
– Use common-sense safety precautions, especially in situations where there could be risk
of injury if any part of the assembly becomes detached and falls. Bosch recommends
using the hinged DCA, which allows installers to “hang” the MIC camera temporarily on
the DCA to make electrical connections, before bolting the camera to the DCA.
i
Notice!
To maintain the Type 6P rating when the camera is mounted to a MIC-DCA, installers must
make sure that the user-supplied cable glands or conduit connections have Type 6P ratings.
!
Warning!
Do not manually back drive the camera
The motor/gear head combinations used in the MIC cameras were designed to provide
smooth pan/tilt movement of the camera during powered operation. The gear heads were not
specifically designed to be manually “back-driven” under any circumstance.
Although it might be possible to do so on unpowered units, there is no guarantee that “back-
driving” will be possible on every unit. Some units may even enter a “locked-up” mechanical
state.
If the camera becomes “locked-up,” simply apply power to the camera. The pan/tilt functions
of the camera should now operate properly.
!
Warning!
Moving parts!
Moving parts may result in risk of injury, therefore, the device should be mounted so that it is
accessible only to the technician/installer.
i
Notice!

5 Mounting
5.1 Mounting Location and Orientation Options
MIC cameras are designed for easy installation in various locations such as directly onto
buildings and poles suitable to support CCTV equipment.
Select a secure installation location and mounting orientation for the device. Ideally, this is a
location where the device cannot be interfered with either intentionally or accidentally.
Select a location where the MIC camera will not touch materials such as steel straps or cables.
You can install the camera:
– onto a MIC-DCA or a MIC wall mount (MIC-WMB) with a MIC shallow conduit adapter
(MIC-SCA). (Never install the wall mount only.)
or
– directly to a mounting surface using the supplied base gasket and the appropriate
connector kit (sold separately):
– MIC-9K-IP67-5PK (IP67 Connector kit for MIC IP fusion 9000i, MIC IP ultra 7100i, and
MIC IP starlight 7100i cameras)
To have an installation rated IP67, you must use the appropriate IP67 Connector Kit from
Bosch.
Confirm that no residual water or moisture is in the bottom of camera. Ground the camera as
described in the chapter “Installing a MIC Camera on a Hinged DCA.”
The most common type of mounting location is the top of a pole suitable to support CCTV
equipment and that provides a robust mounting platform to minimize camera motion and
typically has a large base cabinet for mounting ancillary equipment such as power supplies.
Other locations for mounting the camera include the top of a building, the side (wall) of a
building, the corner of a building, and under the eave of a building.
The camera can also be mounted on the side of a lamp post, pole, or similar column using the
Pole Mount Bracket (MIC-PMB). Be aware that lamp posts can often be subject to movement
and are not suitable platforms in all conditions or for all applications.
i
Notice!
Outdoor installation
For details about the proper configuration for installing your camera outdoors with surge and
lightning protection, refer to Best Practices for Outdoor Installation.
Ensure that the location has the appropriate clearance from power and lightning conductors,
in accordance with NEC725 and NEC800 (CEC Rule 16-224 and CEC Section 60).
Do not install the device near:
– Any heat sources
– Any overhead power lines, power circuits, or electrical lights, or where the device may
contact power lines, circuits, or lights
Isolate shielded CAT5e or CAT6 cable from any high voltage power lines in a separate
grounded, metal conduit. Refer to the datasheet for test conditions for allowable transients /
voltage fluctuations.
i
Notice!
Heat sources may obscure the thermal image
Heat sources in the direct FOV of the thermal camera or which can reflect from thermally
reflective sources might obscure the thermal image.

MIC IP fusion 9000i Mounting | en 17
Bosch Security Systems Installation Manual 2022-09 | 1.6 | F.01U.334.820
Mounting surface recommendations for MIC mounting accessories
The mounting surface should be capable of supporting the combined weight of the MIC
camera + MIC Illuminator + MIC mounting accessory (DCA, wall mount, corner bracket, etc.).
All expected conditions of load, vibration and temperature should be considered when
planning an installation. The material should accommodate a minimum pull-out strength of 275
kg (600 lb).
The mounting accessory should be secured to one of the following surfaces:
– Concrete (solid / cast)
– Concrete masonry unit (concrete block)
– Brick (all types)
– Metal (steel / aluminum, minimum 3 mm (0.125 in.) thick)
In all situations, Bosch recommends referencing any applicable building codes or professional
structural engineering guidelines for a secure installation.
4Ensure that the selected mounting surface is capable of supporting the combined weight
of the camera and mounting hardware (sold separately) under all expected conditions of
load, vibration, wind, and temperature.
!
Caution!
Risk of lightning strikes
If the camera is installed in a highly exposed location where lightning strikes may occur, then
Bosch recommends installing a separate lightning conductor within 0.5 m (1.6 ft) of the
camera and at least 1.5 m (4.9 ft) higher than the camera. A good earth bonding connection
to the camera housing itself will provide protection against damage from secondary strikes.
The camera housing itself is constructed to cope with secondary strikes. If the correct
lightning protection is applied, then no damage to the internal electronics or camera should
result.
Installation in a damp environment (for example, near a coastline)
The fasteners shipped with the camera are designed to resist corrosion. Always use Bosch-
supplied screws and other fasteners when installing the camera.
The camera head has factory-installed plastic screws that prevent corrosion in the screw holes
when no MIC sunshield accessory is attached. Do not remove these screws until you install a
sunshield accessory. For complete details, refer to the installation instructions for the
sunshield accessory.
Before installation, inspect the metal parts of the camera for paint that is chipped or
otherwise damaged. If you notice any paint damage, touch up the damage with paint or
sealants available locally.
Avoid installation practices that may allow the camera’s metal mountings to contact materials
such as stainless steel. Such contact can result in galvanic corrosion and degrade the
cosmetic appearance of the camera. These cosmetic damages caused by improper installation
are not covered by warranty as they do not affect the functionality of the camera.

Bosch sells a complete series of mounting brackets that support multiple mounting
configurations.
Always use only Bosch-supplied mounts, which are designed for safe installation of your MIC
camera.
Refer to the MIC Series Mounting Brackets Installation Guide for complete installation
instructions.
Mounting hardware recommendations for MIC mounting accessories
Fasteners are not supplied with the MIC mounting accessories for attachment to the mounting
surface. The type of fastener necessary is dependent on the mounting surface.
Fasteners can include wedge anchors, sleeve anchors, single expansion anchors, double
expansion anchors, machine screws or ‘Thru-Bolting’ with a nut.
Fasteners are to be of a structural grade (ISO Class 10.9, SAE Grade 8) and zinc plated for
moderate corrosion resistance. When installed in marine or similarly corrosive environments,
stainless hardware (A2-800, A4-800) is recommended.
Fasteners are to be a minimum diameter of 8 mm (0.3125 in.).
All bolts must extend through the mounting surface and be secured with a flat washer, lock
washer and nut. All studs must be anchored to concrete or welded to a steel backing plate.
In all situations, Bosch recommends referencing any applicable building codes or professional
structural engineering guidelines for a secure installation.
