For detailed instructions, refer to the user guide.
Warning
Remove the foam insert from the back box before installing the system. The foam insert secures the tilt ring to
prevent damage to the optical chassis during shipment.
Note Megapixel lenses are designed and tested to deliver optimal image quality to the megapixel camera. A standard
definition lens installed on a megapixel camera will limit the resolution of the camera and create poor image quality.
Step 1 Prepare the mounting surface using one of the following options:
•In-Ceiling Installation
–
Cut a 6-inch diameter hole in the ceiling.
–
Pull all wiring through the hole and terminate all wires (if not already terminated).
•Surface Installation
–
Using the surface mount ring as a template, drill holes for the mounting hardware.
–
Drill a hole in the ceiling for wiring; pull all wiring through the hole and terminate all wires (if not already
terminated).
–
Attach the surface mount ring to the mounting surface.

IDE Series megapixel cameras. A standard definition lens installed on a megapixel camera will
limit the resolution of the camera and create poor image quality.
