Introduction
The unobtrusive, low-profile design of the HD4DIR Camera is ideal for indoor and outdoor
installations in commercial and residential venues.
Before You Begin
Please read this guide carefully before you install the HD4DIR Camera.
Keep this guide for future reference.
Unpack Everything
Check that the items received match those listed on the order form and packing slip. The HD4DIR
packing box should include, in addition to this User Guide:
• One fully assembled HD4DIR camera, including factory-installed pigtail power and video
connections
• One HD4DIR hardware kit
• One bag containing mounting screws
• One product warranty
If any parts are missing or damaged, contact the dealer you purchased the camera from or call
Honeywell Customer Service (see Warranty and Service).
Equipment Required
You will require the following tools to complete the installation:
• Phillips screwdriver
• Tools supplied in the hardware kit (three Allen keys): one for the security screw on the lid;
one for the conduit plug locking screw; and one for the lens-locking screw
•Side-cutters

10
Installation
The HD4DIR is weather-sealed for indoor or outdoor locations. The HD4DIR is a fully-integrated
enclosure with camera and lens. The wiring can be completely concealed to reduce the risk of
tampering.
Mounting the Camera
The HD4DIR Camera is designed to be surface-mounted on a wall or ceiling. Before you mount the
camera, use the mounting template provided to mark and pre-drill the holes.
Figure 1 Installation Components
Connecting Cables Through the Housing Base
For installations requiring you to pull cables through the grommet located in the bottom of the base:
1. Use a sharp knife to cut an opening in the base gasket (see the figure below). Be careful. The
opening should be only big enough to feed the cable assembly through.
2. Pull the cables through the opening.

3. Apply appropriate sealant around the opening to prevent moisture from entering the housing.
Figure 2 Base Gasket Opening
Connecting Cables Through the Side Conduit
1. Peel back the bottom flat gasket below the side conduit just enough to expose the security
screw.
2. Use the supplied Allen key to loosen and remove the security screw (see Figure 3 below).
3. Use a flat screwdriver to unscrew the conduit plug.
4. Pull the cables through the hole.
5. Apply appropriate sealant around the opening to prevent moisture from entering the housing.
