Mount the Camera
2. Use a athead screwdriver to remove the
base cover from the mounting base. Place the
mounting base where you want to position the
camera and use a pencil to mark the holes.
5. Place the base cover on the base. Make sure to
align the base cover notch, with the mounting
base for future removal. Afterwards, reattach
the camera head onto the mounting base.
6. Adjust the angle of the camera as desired, then
tighten the collar on the camera stem to lock it
in place.
3. Depending on the material of the wall or ceiling,
use proper tools to drill two holes or screws
where you marked. If the wall is made out of
concrete, drill the holes rst, then insert the
plastic anchors to support the screws.
4. Place the mounting base over the holes that
are in the wall or ceiling. Make sure to align the
mounting base holes with the holes in the wall
or ceiling. Use the supplied screws to attach the
mounting base to the surface of the wall.
Please refer to the steps below to assist you with mounting the camera.
We suggest that you congure the camera before mounting.
