Step 2:
Place the baseplate where you want to position the
camera and use a pencil to mark the holes. You can
use the lower holes for a removable installation, or
the top holes for a fixed one. Make sure that the
arrow on the baseplate is pointing up.
Step 3:
Depending on the material of the wall or ceiling, use
proper tools to drill holes 25mm deep with a 6mm
drill bit where you marked. If the wall is made out of
concrete, drill the holes first, then insert the plastic
anchors to support the screws.
Step 4:
Place the baseplate over the holes that are in the
wall. Make sure to align the baseplate holes with the
holes in the wall. Use the supplied screws to attach
the baseplate to the surface of the wall.
Step 1:
Rotate the baseplate counter-clockwise and remove it.
Step 5:
Place the camera over the baseplate with the
alignment nub pointing left, then attach the camera
by rotating it until the alignment nub points up.
Step 6:
Adjust the angle and rotation of the camera as
desired. You can also rotate the camera on the
baseplate approximately 45° to the right or left.
