Installation
WARNING
• If you attach the camera in the height such as the wall or
the ceiling, etc., entrust the installation to an experienced
contractor or installer.
• If you install the camera at a height, ensure that the
installation location and its material are strong enough to
withstand a weight of 10 kg (22 lb 0.74 oz) or more, and
then install the camera securely. If the ceiling is not
strong enough, the camera may fall and cause serious
injury.
• To prevent the camera from falling, make sure to attach
the supplied fall-prevention strap.
• If you attach the camera to the ceiling, check
periodically, at least once a year, to ensure that the
connection has not loosened. If conditions warrant, make
this periodic check more frequently.
• Install the bracket and the camera unit to a clean, flat,
and level location that has no deformities. Otherwise,
installation may not be possible.
Deciding the Installation Location of
the Camera
After deciding the direction in which the camera will
shoot, make a hole of the appropriate size (within ø74 mm
(3 inches)) for the connecting cables using the supplied
template. Then, determine the four mounting hole
positions to install the bracket. The “O” mark indicates the
direction of the conduit hole (connected to the pipe) of the
camera unit.
Mounting screws
The supplied bracket is provided with eight ø4.5 mm
(3/16 inches) mounting holes. Install the bracket on a
ceiling or wall by tightening screws through four mounting
holes (83.5 mm (3 3/8inches) or 85.7 mm (3 3/8inches)-
pitched).
The required mounting screws differ depending on the
installation location and its material. (Mounting screws are
not supplied.)
Steel wall or ceiling: Use M4 bolts and nuts.
Wooden wall or ceiling: Use M4 tapping screws. The
panel thickness must be 15 mm (19/32 inches) or more.
Concrete wall: Use anchors, bolts and plugs suitable for
concrete walls.
Junction box: Use screws to match the holes on the
junction box.
WARNING
The required mounting screws differ depending on the
installation location and its material. If you do not secure
the camera with the appropriate mounting screws, the
camera may fall off.
