Ceiling Mount
There are three ceiling mounting methods:
•Hard-ceiling mounting
•In-ceiling mounting
•Mounting with the straight tube
See the following sections for more details.
Indoor conversion
The FortiCam SD20 camera is designed to be placed outdoors. If you want to install it on
indoor ceilings, using the hard-ceiling or in-ceiling mounting, you must modify it using the
conversion accessories supplied with those kits. For straight tube mounting, no matter indoor
or outdoor, you do not need to modify the camera.
To convert the camera from outdoor to indoor usage:
1. Remove the three screws from the top of the
sunshield to detach the sunshield.
2. Rollback the rubber seal to expose the three
screws. Once exposed, loosen the three
screws.

13
Once you have removed the sunscreen,
screws, and the ring, your camera will resemble
this.
3. Place the metal hook between the plastic
ring and the top of the camera.
4. Attach the top of the camera and tighten the
three screws.
Hard ceiling mount
If you have hard ceilings, like concrete, use the hard ceiling mount accessory.
Note: You must order the mounting accessories separately from Fortinet.

To mount the camera on a hard ceiling
1. Mark the positions of the three screw holes on
the ceiling using the mount as a guide.

3. Insert the supplied anchors into the drilled holes
and then fasten the hard ceiling mount with the
three supplied self-tapping screws.
4. Thread the data cable and Ethernet cable through the center hole of the mount and
connect the cable to the camera body.
5. You can choose to hide the data cable and
Ethernet cable inside the ceiling, and use the
rubber from the accessory package to fill the gap
at the side of the fixing plate. You can also lead
the cables out from the gap on the side of the
fixing plate (as shown in the diagram).
6. Install the camera on the hard ceiling mount by
turning the camera counterclockwise and then
tightening the screw at the side of the fixing plate.
7. Install the dome cover and then fasten the
supplied standard screw on the dome cover.
Note: Use the security screw for the vandal proof
dome.

mount accessory.
