1. Turn the black-colored screws clockwise to extend the locking arms.
2. Tighten the screws sufficiently to compress the locking arms to adjust andfix to themounting area.
3. Adjust the focusing position by rotating and panning the camera lens base. When rotating the
camera lens, do not rotate it over the stop point.
4. Fit the inner liner over the camera lens base until it snaps into the place.
5. Mount the camera housing on the lens base, both of which have a red dot within the interior and
on the top side respectively for aligning identification.
6. Use the torx key (supplied) to tighten the 3 camera housing screws for mounting completion.
Note
It is strongly recommended that first to ensure the mounting area is stable enough to
withstand the locking arms clamping for perfect mounting procedure.
Keeping tilt angel over 17 degrees is recommended when IR-LED light is used. If tilt
angel is below 17 degrees from the horizontal, the image would be flashed by the
reflection of IR-LED light.
Method 2: To surface mount
Figure 2 - 6: Mounting the Camera 4/5
1. Based on your needs, use the bottom or side conduit hole on the bottom case for cable entry
and connect the wiring. Then mount the bottom case on a surface with securing screws
(supplied) into the inserted anchors tightly.
2. Align the bottom case and the lens base, both of which have a red dot on the top side
respectively for aligning identification. Use the red dots to properly align them and then securely
fasten the 3 screws of the lens base to the bottom case with torx key (supplied).
3. Adjust the focusing position by rotating and panning the camera lens base. Note that the side
conduit hole of bottom case is the point where the camera lens shouldn’t be rotated over.
4. Fit the inner liner over the camera lens base until it snaps into the place.
5. Mount the camera housing on the lens base, both of which similarly have a red dot for aligning
identification. Be aware that the red dot of camera housing is within interior instead of top side.
6. Use the torx key (supplied) to tighten the 3 camera housing screws for mounting completion.
