3 Description
The AutoDome Easy II is part of a larger building block for any
surveillance/security system. By using multiple keyboard
controllers and multiple dome cameras, no place is too large for
monitoring. Extensible and flexible architecture facilities
remote control functions for a variety of external switching
devices such as multiplexers and DVRs.
This installation should be made by qualified service personnel
and conform to the National Electrical Code and applicable
local codes.
NOTICE!
A grounded conduit is required in order to meet the EMC
Regulation Requirements.

4 Installing a Surface Mount
4.1 Description
This chapter details how to mount the AutoDome Easy II to a
hard surface. The AutoDome Easy II is also suitable for wall
(Section 5 Installing a Wall Mount, page 20), recess
(Section 6 Installing a Recessed Mount, page 30), and pipe
mounting (Section 7 Installing a Pipe Mount, page 38). For
specific directions on mounting the unit, see the manual that
came with your mount.
For an outdoor installation you must obtain the Surface Mount
Junction Box (VEZ-A2-JC or VEZ-A2-JW) and the gaskets and O-
rings supplied with an AutoDome Easy II Outdoor Camera to
ensure a water-tight environment inside the unit and to
maintain an IP Environmental Protection Rating. Refer to
Section 4.1.3 Preparing the Surface Mount for an Outdoor
Installation, page 12, to start an outdoor installation.
NOTICE!
The image sensors in modern CCD 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.

4.1.3 Preparing the Surface Mount for an Outdoor
Installation
The following instructions detail the preparation necessary to
prepare the surface and the steps to install the Surface Mount
Junction Box for an outdoor application.
1. Determine a secure location for the surface mount and the
dome. The illustration below shows the placement of the
surface mount (item 1, below) and the dome (item 2).

2. Use the VEZ-A2-JC or VEZ-A2-JW Surface Mount Junction
Box as a template to mark the location of the four (4) M4
or #10 pan head screws (Item 1, below).

3. Drill the four (4) holes in the installation location. Use a
minimum screw length of 10 mm (.39 in.).
4. Prepare the surface so that it can support a maximum load
of 11.33 kg (25 lbs).
5. Thread the four (4) 3.97 mm I.D. by Ø1.78 mm O-rings
(Item 3, Figure 4.6) onto the four (4) M4 or #10 user-
supplied pan head screws. The O-rings are supplied with
the AutoDome Easy II Outdoor Camera.
6. Ensure that the gasket is attached to the retaining ring. If
the gasket and the retaining ring are separate:
a. Locate the flat side of the gasket and the recessed
side of the retaining ring.
b. Thread the flat side of the gasket (item 1, below) onto
the recessed side of the retaining ring (item 2). The
illustration below shows a cross-section of the gasket
on the retaining ring.
7. Attach the retaining ring with gasket (item 2, below) to the
Surface Mount Junction Box. These parts are supplied with
the AutoDome Easy II Outdoor Camera. Ensure that the
side of the retaining ring with the counter-sunk screw
holes is facing you.
CAUTION!
You must ensure that the gasket is attached to the retaining
ring as shown above to ensure an environmentally tight seal.

8. Determine the side of the Surface Mount Junction box in
which the external wires are to be routed and remove the
plug from the knockout.
9. Apply a 1/2-inch (15-mm) NPS fitting to the chosen
knockout. Ensure a water-tight fitting to maintain the IP
Environmental Protection Rating for the unit.
10. Attach the Surface Mount Junction Box to the surface
using four (4) user-supplied M4 or #10 pan head screws
(screws not supplied). Use a minimum screw length of
10 mm (.39 in.).
Note: For an outdoor installation ensure that the four (4)
3.97 mm I.D. by Ø1.78 mm O-rings are threaded onto the
four (4) M4 or #10 user-supplied pan head screws. Refer to
step 5.
