Drilling. Ensure that the holes are marked as accurately as possible. Set the Mounting Plate
aside after marking the drilling locations.
2.1.3 Use a hammer drill to make 3/8 inch diameter holes at each of the 4 mounting locations
marked in the previous step. A hammer drill is required for this operation. Clean the holes
of all concrete dust using a wire brush and compressed air or a vacuum. Install the 3/8-16
concrete anchors in each of the 4 drilled holes by hammering them in to the appropriate
depth. Leave the nut on while hammering so that the threads of the concrete anchor are
protected and not damaged. Ensure that the Mounting Plate fits over the concrete anchors,
and then set it aside.
Warnings:
The supplied anchors are for concrete only. Do not attempt to use in brick, block or other
materials. Other fasteners are required for brick, block and other materials and are not
included. Minimum engagement of the supplied concrete anchors is 2” [50 mm]. If the
provided fasteners are not appropriate for the installation surface, it is the responsibility of
the customer to specify and source appropriate fasteners for the application.
Holes for concrete anchors should be drilled a minimum of 1/2 inch [13 mm] deeper than
the overall length of the anchor, provided that the mounting surface can tolerate such a
depth. This allows the anchor to be hammered flush should a mistake be made or a location
change be necessary.
2.2 Wall Mount
2.2.1 Remove the Wall Mount Cover from the Wall Mount by unscrewing the four 6-32 flat head
screws in the corners of the bracket system. Set the cover and four fasteners aside in a safe
place for later use.

2.2.2 Hold the Wall Mount up to the desired mounting location. Ensure that the mount is level
and oriented properly in the correct location. Using the Wall Mount as a template, mark the
4 mounting holes for drilling. There are two suitable mounting patterns to allow for
installation flexibility, as indicated below. With the hole locations marked, set the Wall
Mount aside for later use.
2.2.3 Use a hammer drill to make 3/8 inch diameter holes at each of the 4 mounting locations
marked in the previous step. A hammer drill is required for this operation. Clean the holes
of all concrete dust using a wire brush and compressed air or a vacuum. Install the 3/8-16
concrete anchors in each of the 4 drilled holes by hammering them in to the appropriate
depth. Leave the nut on while hammering so that the threads of the anchor are not
damaged. Ensure that the Wall Mount fits over the concrete anchors, and then set it aside.
Warnings:
The supplied anchors are for concrete only. Do not attempt to use in brick, block, or other
materials. Other fasteners are required for brick, block and other materials and are not
included. Minimum engagement of the supplied concrete anchors is 2” [50 mm]. If the
provided fasteners are not appropriate for the installation surface, it is the responsibility of
the customer to specify and source appropriate fasteners for the application.
Holes for concrete anchors should be drilled a minimum of 1/2 inch [13 mm] deeper than
the overall length of the anchor, provided that the mounting surface can tolerate such a
depth. This allows the anchor to be hammered flush should a mistake be made or a location
change be necessary.

2.3 Pole Mount
2.3.1 Install the BR-MPM1, BR-MPM2 or KT-CDR2 pole mount bracket system on the desired pole
at the appropriate height using pole strapping or hose clamps. Pole straps are not included
and are the responsibility of the customer to source for their particular application.
3. Enclosure Preparation
3.1 Install the camera manufacturer supplied ceiling mount bracket (typically twist-to-lock) onto the
black Camera Bracket inside the enclosure. For example, the Panasonic “mount bracket” can be
found on page 9 of the “Operating Instructions, Basics” for the AW-HE120. The black bracket
inside the enclosure is designed to accept typical ceiling mount brackets via four M4 fasteners
and four M4 nylon locking nuts. If this hardware cannot be sourced, the camera can also be
directly installed using the supplied 2 x 1/4-20 socket head cap screws from the hardware kit.
Using the camera manufacturer supplied “mount bracket” is highly recommended to minimize
overall weight while the enclosure is being lifted for mounting.

3.2 Install the supplied domed lens on the hinged lid of the enclosure. Remove the 12 x 6-32 flat
head screws and set aside in a safe place for reinstallation. Remove the metal retaining ring to
expose the seal. Remove the protective film from the domed lens and align the mounting holes
of the dome with the holes in the gasket. Place the retaining ring over the domed lens and align
the holes of the retaining ring with the mounting holes in the domed lens. Reinstall the twelve
6-32 flat head screws and torque them to the appropriate value, making sure to alternate from
one side of the lens to the other when tightening the 12 screws to minimize stresses in the
domed lens.
3.3 Plan your cable management before installing the enclosure. Pay particular attention to bend
radii and sealing of cable glands. The cable glands installed on the enclosure can be used as
plugs or break through, multi-hole glands for smaller diameter cables. The cable glands provided
in the hardware kit are designed to accommodate 1 cable per cable gland. The cable diameters
accommodated are 4.3 mm –11.4 mm. Other cable diameters will require alternative cable
glands to create an environmental seal. It may be required to cut connectors off of terminated
cables and re-terminate a connector on the opposite side of the gland if a connector does not fit
through the prescribed gland.

4. Enclosure Installation
4.1 Install the Mounting Plate or Wall Mounting Bracket on the HD12 Enclosure using four 1/4-20
fasteners and washers.
4.2 Without the camera installed, bring the enclosure up to the mounting location.
Warnings:
The enclosure weighs 32 lbs. [15 kg] without a camera installed. The final mounting of the
enclosure requires a minimum of 2 people to complete in a safe manner. Do not attempt
to complete this step by yourself.
If the manufacturer provided camera mounting plate is not being used for camera
mounting, it may be easier to mount the camera inside the enclosure before bringing the
enclosure up to the mounting surface.
4.3 Secure the enclosure to the mounting surface by tightening the nuts on the concrete anchors,
screwing the enclosure to the pole mount, or by using alternative fasteners that are appropriate
for the installation. Ensure appropriate torque is applied to each fastener. A thread locking
compound is recommended for these connections.
4.4 Install the camera in the enclosure using the manufacturer provided “twist-to-lock”mounting
plate. If the camera manufacturer does not supply a “twist-to-lock” mounting plate, use the 2 x
1/4-20 fasteners that were supplied (see 4.5). This is more easily achieved prior to mounting the
enclosure.
4.5 Establish all video and communication connections to the camera before applying power. Once
all other lines are connected, connect the coaxial power cable from the Dotworkz electronics to
the camera. This cable is included and connected to a 12VDC source.
4.6 Connect line power to the Dotworkz electronics via the supplied terminal that is marked black
(hot), white (neutral) and green (protective ground). This will provide power to the
environmental controls and to the camera.
