Refer to the operating instructions of the camera for details on the camera installation
(including the camera mounting, cable connection and adjustment).
Step 1 Put Template A (accessory) against the ceiling and make a hole.
①Make 4 holes of 12 mm {1/2 inches} in
diameter.
②Remove the center part from the template.
③Make a hole of 180 mm {7-1/16 inches} in
diameter.
The ceiling hole shape
is shown in the drawing
at right.
Step 2 Install two anchor bolts (M10: locally procured) into the ceiling.
①Determine the anchor bolt length (for securing the mounting chassis) by use of Template B
(accessory).
②Position the nut by use of Template B (accessory) and mount the nut. (The distance between the
bottom surfaces of the ceiling board and nut shall be 134 mm {5-1/4 inches}.)

IMPORTANT
󱾀Prepare anchor bolts according to the material and strength of the area where the product is
to be installed. The pull-out strength of the anchor bolt shall be more than 5 times of the total
weight of the installed devices (including the camera body, ceiling mount bracket, anchor
bolts, and all other parts).

Step 3
Secure the safety wire angle (accessory) to the anchor bolt (for
connecting the safety wire), and connect the safety wire (accessory).
①Mount a nut so that the safety wire angle
is secured on the anchor bolt.
②Remove the safety wire from the safety
wire angle.
③Insert the groove of the portion ❶of the
safety wire angle into the anchor bolt.
④Close the safety wire angle while inserting
the groove of the portion ❷of the safety
wire angle into the anchor bolt.
⑤Connect the safety wire to the safety wire
angle again.
⑥Engage the nut from beneath, and secure
the safety wire angle with top and bottom
nuts.
⑦Engage another nut from beneath to
tighten and secure the nut that was
engaged from beneath in ⑥in a double
nut fashion.
Note:
󱾀When the existing anchor bolt that
has been installed is used for
connecting the safety wire, the use
of 2 spacer nuts is helpful.
Step 4 Attach the safety wire.
①Mount a nut so that the mounting chassis is
secured on the anchor bolt(for securing the

Step 6 Secure the mounting chassis.
①Secure the mounting chassis to the ceiling
board with the ceiling board fixing screws
(4places).
Turning the ceiling board fixing screws clock-
wise provides ceiling board tightening
between the bottom of the mounting chassis
and ceiling board fixing bracket resulting in
mounting chassis securing.
Recommended tightening torque:
0.78 N·m {0.58 lbf·ft}
②Use double nuts (locally procured) to secure the mounting chassis after inserting the anchor bolt
(for securing the mounting chassis).
Step 7 Mount the attachment plate.
①Mount the attachment plate (accessory of the
camera) to this mounting chassis. Use fixing
screws for attachment plate (M4:accessory of
the camera) to secure the attachment plate
firmly as shown in the right illustration.
