4 Installing a Wall Mount
4.1 Overview
This chapter details how to mount the VEZ-400 Mini PTZ Dome
to a wall.
For an outdoor installation, you must obtain the mounting
screws with rubber sealing rings supplied with the Mini PTZ
Dome to ensure a water-tight environment inside the unit and
to maintain an IP Environmental Protection Rating.
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.

4.1.1 Installing the Wall Mount with a Metal Single-gang
Junction Box
Use the following instructions for applications using a metal
single-gang junction box. To mount directly onto a mounting
surface, refer to Section 4.1.2 Installing the Wall Mount directly
onto a Mounting Surface, page 14.
1. Determine a secure location for the wall mount.
Figure 4.1 Wall Mount Dimensions
2. Fit a user-provided metal single-gang junction box to the
wall. In moist, wet, or outdoor applications, ensure that
the junction box is rated accordingly.
3. Attach a grounded metal conduit to the junction box
clamp.
WARNING!
The mounting surface, mounting screws/plugs, and junction
box must be stable and capable of supporting a maximum load
of 15 kg (33 pounds). Mounting to an improper surface or using
improper mounting material can cause camera malfunction and
is a potential safety hazard.

4. Feed the wires through the conduit.
5. Attach the mounting cap to the arm of the wall mount. In
moist, wet or outdoor applications, make sure that the
thread on the arm is sufficiently taped with Teflon tape
before the mounting cap is attached.
6. Feed all wires from the camera through the arm into the
metal conduit using a wire puller tool. In moist, wet, or
outdoor applications, make sure that the rubber seal is
placed between the arm and the junction box or mounting
surface before the connections are made.
7. Make all necessary connections inside of the junction box.
In moist locations, make sure that all connections and
loose connectors are sealed against water/moist (even if
the connection is not used).
8. Fit the arm to the mounting surface or to a junction box. In
wet, moist, or outdoor applications, make sure that the
rubber seal is in place and pressed firmly between the arm
and mounting surface on all sides.
