Ceiling Mounting Installation
Before you start:
Both wall mounting and ceiling mounting are suitable for the
dome camera. Ceiling mounting will be taken as an example in
this section. And you can take steps of ceiling mounting as a
reference for wall mounting.
Steps:
1. Paste the drill template to the ceiling.
2. Drill screw holes and the cable hole (optional) on the ceil-
ing according to the supplied drill template.
Note: Drill the cable hole when adopting the ceiling outlet
to route the cable.
3. Loosen the screws on the bubble of the dome camera to
remove the bubble and the black liner
4. Attach the back box of type I camera/base plate of type
II camera to the ceiling and secure them with supplied
screws.
Note: The supplied screw package contains self-tapping
screws, and expansion bolts.
For cement wall, expansion bolts are required to fix
the camera. For wooden wall, self-tapping screws are
required.
5. Route the cables through the cable hole, or the side
opening.
6. Align the camera with the back box/base plate, and
tighten the screws to secure the camera with the back
box/base plate.
7. Connect the corresponding cables, such as power cord,
and video cable.
8. Power on the camera to check whether the image on
the monitor is gotten from the optimum angle. If not,
adjust the camera according to the figure below to get an
optimum angle.
9. Prior to reattaching the dome, verify the alignment of
the dome gasket and realign the gasket if necessary.
Failure to properly realign the gasket could result in water
ingression and potentially void the camera warranty.
10. Fit the black liner back to the camera and tighten the
screws on the bubble of the dome camera to finish the
installation.
