The WV-Q169A is a ceiling embedded bracket that is exclusively designed to mount the color
CCTV camera and Network camera on a ceiling. Refer to the catalog or operating instructions of
the camera for further information about the compatible models. This bracket can be used for an
area with weak pull-out strength such as plasterboard in a double ceiling, and the embedded type
makes the visible part of the camera smaller.
* It is possible to use WV-Q169A instead of WV-Q169 for the models introducing WV-Q169 as an
available optional part.

Mounting method for this product
This product is designed to be used as a pendant mount camera. If the product is mounted on a
desktop or at a slant, it may not work correctly and its lifetime may be shortened.
Procure anchor bolts separately.
An anchor bolt for mounting the bracket on a ceiling is not supplied with the ceiling mount bracket.
Prepare them according to the material and strength of the area where the product is to be
installed.
Anchor bolt: M10, recommended•
Minimum pull-out strength: Make sure that more than 5 times of the total weight including the•
camera body can be supported.
Tightening the screws and bolts
The screws and bolts must be tightened with an appropriate tightening torque according to the•
material and strength of the installation area.
Do not use an impact driver. Use of an impact driver may damage the screws or cause tightening•
excessively.
When a screw is tightened, make the screw at a right angle to the surface. After tightening the•
screws or bolts, perform checks to ensure that the tightening is sufficient enough so that there is
no movement or looseness.

Installations
Be sure to read “Precautions” (☞page 3) and “Precautions for installation” (☞page 4) before instal-
lation. Read the operating instructions for the camera to be installed as well.
Step 1
Put Template A (accessory) against the ceiling and make a hole.
Make 4 holes of 12 mm {1/2 inches} inq
diameter.
Remove the center part from the template.w
Make a hole of 180 mm {7-1/16 inches} ine
diameter.
The ceiling holes are shown
in the drawing at right. →
Step 2
Install two anchor bolts (locally procured: M10 recommended) into the ceiling.
One anchor is used for securing the mounting chassis, and the other anchor is used for connecting
the safety wire.
Determine the anchor bolt length (for securing the mounting chassis) by use of Template Bq
(accessory).
Position the nut by use of Template B (accessory) and mount the nut. (The distance between thew
bottom surfaces of the ceiling board and nut shall be 134 mm {5-1/4 inches}.)

Step 3
Secure the safety wire angle (accessory) to the
anchor bolt (for connecting the safety wire),
and connect the safety wire (accessory).
Mount a nut so that the safety wire angle isq
secured on the anchor bolt.
Disconnect the safety wire from the safetyw
wire angle.
Engage the face markede qwith the anchor
bolt.
Bend the face markedr w.
Connect the safety wire to the safety wiret
angle again.
Engage the nut from beneath, and securey
the safety wire angle with top and bottom
nuts.
Engage another nut from beneath to tightenu
and secure the nut that was engaged from
beneath in yin a double nut fashion.
IMPORTANT:
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).
When the existing anchor bolt is used as an anchor bolt for connecting the safety wire, make•
sure that the distance between the anchor bolt and camera mounting position is 1 m {3.28 feet}
or less.

0.78 N·m {0.58 lbf·ft})
IMPORTANT:
When securing this bracket on the ceiling,•
make sure that the four ceiling board fixing
brackets are open as shown in the following
figure.
