Installation Steps
Complete the following sections to install the device.
Removing the Dome Cover
Note: Be careful not to scratch or touch the dome bubble. The resulting marks or fingerprints may
affect the overall image quality. Keep the protective covers on the outside of the dome bubble
until the installation is complete.
lRemove the dome cover by releasing the elastic strap holding the dome cover to the camera base.
Inserting Cables through the Sealing Grommet
Always use the provided sealing grommet to prevent dust and debris from entering the camera.
Installation Steps 9

1. Remove the sealing grommet from the camera base.
2. Push the Ethernet cable through the grommet.
If you are installing the indoor model (H4SL-D), you should be able to simply push the cable, crimped
or uncrimped, through the grommet by hand.
If you are installing the outdoor model (H4SL-DO), use one of the following methods:
a. If the Ethernet cable is uncrimped, push the cable through the grommet.
b. If the Ethernet cable is already crimped, place the grommet piercing cap on the Ethernet
connector then push the cable through the grommet.
Ensure that the orientation of the cable and grommet matches the one shown in the image.
Mounting the Dome Camera to a Pipe
If the dome camera needs to be installed to a pipe for a pendant installation, you can discard the surface
mount adapter that is provided with the dome camera and use the NPT adapter.
Note: This procedure requires a 1-1/2” NPT-female to NPT-female pipe adapter. It is recommended
that the NPT adapter be mounted to a 1-1/2” conduit pipe.
1. Pull the required cables through the NPT conduit pipe.
2. Apply thread seal tape to the pipe and screw on the 1-1/2” NPT female to NPT female pipe adapter.
3. Screw the lock nut onto the NPT adapter.
4. Apply thread seal tape to the NPT adapter and screw it into the pipe adapter.
Make sure the parts are assembled in this order from NPT conduit pipe to camera adapter:
Mounting the Dome Camera to a Pipe 10

a. NPT conduit pipe
b. 1-1/2" NPT female to female pipe adapter
c. Lock nut
d. NPT adapter
(Optional) Mounting the Dome Camera to the Pendant Wall Mount
If the dome camera will be using the pendant wall mount, you will need to install the NPT adapter as well.
1. Determine where the cables will enter the pendant wall mount.
lIf the cables will be pulled from inside the mounting surface, use the cable entry hole at the
rear of the pendant wall mount.
lIf the cables will be coming out of an external conduit pipe, use the 3/4” NPT pipe entry hole
on the bottom of the pendant wall mount.
2. Use the provided mounting template to drill four mounting holes into the mounting surface.
lIf you are using the rear cable entry hole, also drill the cable entry hole into the mounting
surface.
(Optional) Mounting the Dome Camera to the Pendant Wall Mount 11

3. Fasten the pendant wall mount bracket to the mounting surface.
4. Insert the pendant wall mount over the bracket mounting tabs.
5. Pull the required cables through the preferred cable entry hole on the pendant wall mount.
lIf you are using the pipe entry hole, pull the cables through the pipe conduit then the wall
mount. Next, apply thread seal tape to the pipe conduit and screw it into the pipe entry hole.
(Optional) Mounting the Dome Camera to the Pendant Wall Mount 12

6. Tighten the wall mount screws to secure the wall mount to the bracket. Use the T20 star-shaped key
provided in the camera package.
(Optional) Mounting the Dome Camera to the Pendant Wall Mount 13

7. Loosely thread the lock nut onto the NPT adapter, then secure the NPT adapter into the pendant wall
mount.
8. Carefully tighten the lock nut until the NPT adapter is secured to the wall mount.
Installing the Camera Base to the Mounting Adapter
After you install the mounting adapter, mount the camera base to the adapter.
Installing the Camera Base to the Mounting Adapter 14

1. Attach the lanyard on the mounting adapter to the anchor on the camera base.
2. Pull the required Ethernet cable through the cable entry hole on the camera base.
3. Install the grommet into the cable entry hole on the camera base.
Make sure the grommet flange is securely seated on the inside and outside of the cable entry hole.
4. Connect the cable to the Ethernet port.
The Link LED will turn on once a network link has been established.
