To avoid moisture influence, install the dome cover at least half an hour after the
camera is installed and powered on.
3.2 Installation Modes
You can install the IR vandal dome camera in the ceiling mount, wall mount, wall side
mount bracket, or ceiling bracket installation mode depending on the actual installation
scenario. This section describes how to install the camera in the ceiling and wall mount
modes.
Do not detach the protective film from the dome cover before all the installation steps are
complete.
Keep the dome cover clean during the installation. Do not contact the dome by hand or
with other materials to avoid affecting video image quality.
3.2.1 Ceiling Mount Installation
The ceiling mount installation mode can be subdivided into installation by the white
lower cover and direct installation by the main body black base cover. The ceiling
mount installation mode applies to indoor ceilings or eaves, as shown in Figure 3-1.

Installation by the White Lower Cover
Step 1 Use the T15 plum blossom screwdriver in the accessory package to unscrew the three
white plum blossom screws on the dome cover. The camera is opened, as shown in
Figure 3-2.

Step 2 Press the left and right indicating arrows marked on the lining to remove and put the
lining aside. Use a cross screwdriver to unscrew the three black screws and put the
screws aside. Turn the lower cover clockwise for 5 degrees and remove the lower
cover. See Figure 3-3.

Step 3 Fetch the positioning labeling from the accessory package, remove the release paper
from the positioning labeling, and stick the labeling to the place where the camera is to
be installed.
In the ceiling mount installation mode, you can route cables from the top or from aside.
Select the routing method depending on the installation scenario.
If you use the top routing method (which has high requirements on installation), drill a
routing opening with a diameter of 30 mm in the gap of the positioning labeling.
If the ceiling or eaves do not allow the routing opening, use the aside routing method.
When you route cables from aside, align the gap of the positioning labeling with the
cable routing direction and use the JY-F plug wrench to unscrew a plug on the lower
cover to facilitate cable routing.
Step 4 Use a drill with a diameter of 5.5 mm to drill three round holes with a depth of 40 mm
in the places marked with "A" on the positioning labeling. Use a hammer or any other
rigid object to nail the three white plastic buttons into the round holes. Ensure that the
wall surface is level and the plastic buttons align with the wall surface. See Figure 3-4.

If you use the top routing method, route the multi-head composite cables through the
routing opening with a diameter o 30 mm on the top.
If you use the aside routing method, route the multi-head composite cables through the
aside opening on the lower cover.
Step 7 Turn the main body clockwise for about 5 degrees to assembly it with the lower cover
that has been fixed on the wall in Step 5. Then screw the three black screws in Step 2
by using a cross screwdriver to fix the main body to the lower cover. See Figure 3-6.
The accessory package contains spare black screws.

Step 8 Use the video cable in the accessory package to connect the second video port. Then
view the video, adjust the lens angle horizontally and vertically, and adjust the lens
focal length and field angle range, and insert the SD card. See Figure 3-7.
After adjustment, use a straight screwdriver to fasten the main body fixation screws if the
main body becomes loose.

Step 9 Assemble the lining that has been removed in Step 2 with the main body and buckle the
four button placements with the main body bracket. Aim the three white plum blossom
screws, which have been unscrewed from the dome cover in Step 1, at the three
threaded holes on the main body black cover. Then prop the dome cover with one hand
and screw the plum blossom screws by using the T15 plum blossom screwdriver with
the other hand to fasten the dome cover. See Figure 3-8.
