Warnings and Cautions
Handle the camera carefully
Do not abuse the camera. The camera can be damaged by improper handling or storage.
Do not disassemble the camera
To prevent electric shock, do not remove screws or covers. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Ask a qualified
service person for servicing.
Do not operate the camera beyond the specified temperature, humidity, or power source ratings
Use the camera under conditions where temperature is between -40°C ~ 50°C (-40°F ~ 122°F), and relative humidity
is below 90%.
Do not expose the camera to rain or moisture, or try to operated it in wet conditions
This product is designed for indoor use or locations where it is protected from rain and moisture. Turn the power off
immediately if the camera is wet and ask a qualified service person for servicing. Moisture can damage the camera
and also cause electric shock.
Do not use strong or abrasive detergents when cleaning the camera body
Use a dry cloth to clean the camera when it is dirty. In case the dirt is hard to remove, use a mild detergent and wipe
the camera gently.
Never face the camera toward the sun
Do not aim the camera at bright objects. Whether the camera is in use or not, never aim it at the sun or other
extremely bright objects. Otherwise, the camera may be smeared or damaged.
Only remove the protective wrap from the camera lens when the entire installation is completed
The clear bubble needs to be protected to avoid damage and scratches.
Ensure the inside of the dome cover is free of dust and particles
Gently wipe the inside with a clean lint free cloth or blow the dust away before installing the dome cover and removing
the protective wrap.
Ensure no moisture gets trapped inside the camera
Replace the dry pack found inside the camera with the fresh one from the protective pouch in the box.
Avoid IR light reflecting back into lens at night
If close objects are illuminated by the IR LEDs at night, it may cause reflections in the video image. To avoid this blur,
position the camera with a free view even outside the optical view cone.
The CD55 has a zoom lens that may have to be set to a more narrow tele angle for optimum night image quality.

Mounting options covered in the Quick Start Guide
For standard mounting instructions without using the additional accessories described in this Mounting Guide, see the
FortiCam CD51/CD55 Quick Start Guide in the Fortinet document library.
The Quick Start Guide includes the following mounting scenarios:
Direct Wall or ceiling mount using the Mounting plate. Cable through back or side.
Direct Wall or ceiling mount using the Mounting plate. Cable connected to EMT tubing.
Direct Wall or ceiling mount without Mounting plate. Cable through back or side.
Direct Wall or ceiling mount without Mounting plate. Cable connected to EMT tubing.

Mounting plate usage
The included mounting plate allows universal attachment to a wide range of surfaces and devices. It is recommended
to mount the plate first and prepare all cabling before bringing the camera to the installation site. In this manner
everything can be prepared while the camera is protected from the construction. Mounting the camera to the plate is
quick and easy with the two M4 sockets.
The mounting plate is used to attach the camera to:
Walls and ceilings
Commercially available junction and switch boxes (see list below)
Fortinet pendant cap (FCM-CD5-PCP)
L-type wall mount (FCM-CD5-WMT)
Fortinet junction box (FCM-FB5-JBX)

EMT adapter usage
The included EMT adapter is used to attach the camera to electro mechanical tubing, a common installation
technique in commercial sites. It allows clean and secure cable runs.
The EMT adapter fits ¾” size tubing which is large enough to hold the weatherproof Ethernet connector inside the
tubing.
Adapter plate, EMT adapter, and tubing can be pre-installed on location without the cameras.
Optionally, the EMT adapter can replace the mouse hole-cover directly at the camera body.
Installation is easier when the 3/4” locking nut is not used.

11
L-type bracket for Wall Mounting
The L-type bracket FortiCam-CD5-Mount-WMT offers a convenient and aesthetically pleasing option for wall
mounting. It offers:
space to store the Ethernet connector, and
distance from the adjacent wall to improve IR reflections
To install with the L-type bracket:
1. Thread the cable thought the bracket.
2. Mount the bracket on the wall with the included screws and anchors.
3. Attach the mounting plate to the bracket with two of the supplied machine
bolts (M4 x 10mm) using opposing FT1 positions.
4. Connect the cable with the camera optionally using the waterproof connector.
Tug the connector into the top of the bracket.
5. Open camera housing using the three cover screws without removing the
protective wrap from the lens.
6. Place the camera on the mounting plate so the sockets fit into the matching
recesses on the camera bottom.
7. Fasten the camera with two of the supplied machine bolts (M4 x 10mm) to the
sockets.
8. Adjust the camera’s pan, tilt, and rotation angle.
9. Replace the dry pack found inside the camera with the fresh one from the
protective pouch in the box. Ensure no moisture gets trapped inside the
camera.
10. Ensure the inside of the dome cover is free of dust and particles by gently
wiping the inside with a clean lint free cloth or blowing the dust away.
11. Install the dome cover and remove the protective wrap.

CD51/55 camera to a FortiCam-FB50-Mount-JBX (SKU: FCM-FB5-JBX-4) Junction box.
1. Use the Mounting Guide for FortiCam FB50 for instructions on how to mount the junction box to a wall or ceiling.
https://docs.fortinet.com/product/fortirecorder/hardware

opposing FT2 positions.
3. Open camera housing using the three cover screws without removing the protective wrap from the lens.
