Step 2: Mount the Camera
How to Mount the Outdoor PTZ
Depending on the desired mounting solution, you may need to install the mounting solution first
before connecting the cables or the cables may be connected first before installing the mounting
solutions. Below are basic installation procedures, however for more detailed information,
download the Installation Guide from our website.
1. Install the Mounting Solution
Check the Installation Guide for detailed information.
2. Insert the Cable
Insert the camera cables through the mounting tube (e.g. heavy wall mount, straight tube,
extension tube, etc.) and through a hole in the wall or ceiling.
CAUTION: The camera itself is waterproof, however take note that the cable connections
are not. If the cable connections will be exposed outdoors, make sure to shield or
adapt proper waterproofing methods. See Step 3: Waterproof the Cable
Connections on page 16.
DISCLAIMER: The manufacturer will not be responsible for camera damage caused by water
entering the cable connections.

3. Mount the camera
1. Align the gap on the camera to the tab inside the mounting solution and insert the camera
through the mounting tube.
2. Attach the screws included in the camera package to secure the camera.
3. For added security, attach the safety wire strap to the camera and the mounting solution.
See How to Attach the Safety Wire Strap on page 36 for detailed instructions.

Step 3: Waterproof the Cable Connections
The camera itself is waterproof, however take note that the cable connections are not.
If the camera is mounted directly on the ceiling/wall where the cables pass through the
ceiling/wall, then your installation is complete and you do not need to waterproof the cable
connections.
However, if the camera is mounted where the cables may be exposed then it is recommended to
waterproof the cable connections or use a junction box.
The camera comes with a Cable Gland and Conduit Gland. It is recommended to use one of
these glands when a high PoE injector will be used with the camera. However, if the bundled
power adapter will be used or digital input/output devices will be connected (see How to
Connect Digital Input / Digital Output Devices on page 29), it is recommended to house the
cables inside the junction box (see How to Use the Junction Box on page 25).
