Open the dome cover by loosening 4 T10 anti-
tamper screws.
2 Remove the waterproof connectors.
If you do not need to route I/O wires, leave the
plastic cap in place. If you need to connect I/O
wires, keep the stainless nut.
Use an Ethernet cable with a cable diameter
between ø5 mm (13/64 inches) to ø6.3 mm
(1/4 inches).
3 Make holes in the ceiling.
Attach the Alignment Sticker to a position you
prefer.
Drill screw holes where “Drill hole” and “cable
hole” are indicated.
5 to 6.3 mm

4 Route cables through the holes.
Route cables through the routing holes, and
secure the top mounting plate to ceiling by
driving the included screws.
5 Pass an Ethernet cable through the routing
hole.
6 Hook up the tether wire between the camera
and the top mounting plate.
7 Pass the Ethernet cable through the
components of the waterproof cable gland.
8 Firmly crimp the RJ45 plug to the Ethernet
cable.
Note
For attaching the connector to the network cable,
you need a crimper (RJ45).
Length of the screws:
30 mm

Installing the Camera
Secure the camera to the top mounting plate by
using the alignment marks. Align the rotate the
camera clockwise. Ensure that the unlock button is

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 safety tether wire.
• 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 mounting plate and the camera unit to
a clean, flat, and level location that has no
deformities. Otherwise, installation may not be
possible.
Adjustment of the Shooting Direction and
Range
1 Open the live view on your laptop.
Check the live view to ensure the image is in
focus.
2 Adjust the lens shooting direction to obtain an
optimal field of view.
You can adjust the ranges of the pan, tilt, and
rotation for each lens. Move the lens module
left and right on the slide track, or without
changing the position of the lens module by

Pan: 24.5N •cm ± 1N •cm
Tilt: 44.1N •cm ± 2.9N •cm
Note
Tightening the tilt fixed screw with force more than
specified may cause a damage or deformation of
the screw.
Installing the Dome Cover
