2 Install the Device
Introduce the operation steps of installing equipment.
Preparation:
Ready to install bracket and mounting screws (M4*8 with spacer, M6*10 with spacer)
M4 and M6 allen head screwdrivers have been prepared.
Steps:
1. Determine the position of the mounting hole on the camera, as shown in the figure below.
Generally, it can be fixed with a central screw and a peripheral screw.
2. Place the mounting bracket above the camera mounting hole, so that the bracket (the side with
M4 screw hole) is aligned with the central screw hole of the camera, and use a screwdriver to
fix the bracket on the camera with M4 screw with spacer, as shown in the following figure.
3. Rotate the bracket, adjust the installation direction, and choose top installation or side
installation as required. The effect is as follows:
Top mounting Side mounting

2 Install the device
ED-AIC2020 User Manual 2-2
4. Use M6 screw to fix the bracket and other equipment. It is recommended to use a central screw
and a peripheral screw for fixing.
Tip:
Adjust the appropriate installation position and angle according to different
engineering requirements on site.

3.1 Connecting Cables
Introduces the connection method of cables.
Preparation:
The camera to be connected, 8-pin Gigabit network port to RJ45 cable and 12-pin power supply
IO cable have been obtained.
DC 12V 2A power adapter and auxiliary wiring connector have been prepared.
Because one end of the 12-pin power supply IO cable is a 12-pin bare wire, prepare connectors
and wiring tools as needed.
