Select a location for the installation of the V920D camera. Be sure the area around the selected location is
clear of obstacles (such as steel beams, headers, pipes, electrical wiring, etc.) which would interfere with the
mounting of the camera and that the location can support the weight of the unit [the V920D unit weighs 2.5 lb
(1.1 kg)]. Video and power cables must be routed to the installation location.
The V920D mounts directly to a ceiling or wall. The base has four mounting hole. As a mounting alternative,
the mounting holes align with a standard 4 x 4 electrical box for mounting; an adapter plate is available that
creates an aesthetically pleasing appearance (model V910/V600W-PLATE).
1. Loosen the four (4) Torx screws securing the cover; leave the screws intact. The cover is attached to the
base by the safety cord upon delivery. Allow the cover to hang.

2. Using the drilling guide as a template, mark the location of the four mounting holes [0.203 in. (5.2 mm)
diameter]. See Figure below.
3. There are two (2) cable access holes provided. Drill a hole in the wall or ceiling and route video and power
cables to the selected location and through one of the cable access holes. A 1/2-inch connection
(customer-supplied connector) is provided on the side of the base. A conduit or electrical connector
(screw-type) can be used in this threaded hole. The rear port is sized to accept a 1/2-in. (customer-
provided) connector. If it is desirable to use the rear cable access hole, route the conduit through the hole;
the supplied grommet can be used instead of the conduit. Apply the provided sealant tape around the
threads of the conduit pipe.
4. If using the rear cable access hole, insert the vent plug provided in the side cable access hole. If the side
cable access hole is used, insert a Street Tee (customer provided) into the cable access hole. Route the
conduit through the top hole and insert the vent plug provided into the bottom hole. Refer to Figure below
for installation options. Sealant tape is provided for the plug and Street Tee. Insert the black plug provided
into the rear cable access hole if the side access hole is being used; if the rear cable access hole is being
used, insert the provided plug into the side cable access hole and tighten with tool provided.
Note:Failure to thoroughly coat threads will result in moisture entering the housing and eventual failure of the
unit.
Note: For outdoor installations, Vicon recommends that the vent plug should only be used if fogging
conditions exist. Additionally, if the side cable access hole is used, the base must be mounted so the
hole is pointed directly downward.
Installation Options for Cable Access Hole

Seal around the
housing base tightly
using the silicone.
5. Fasten the base to the wall or ceiling with the appropriate hardware for the mounting surface, lag bolts and
sleeve for cement surfaces or machine screws for other surfaces.M6x35 tapping screws are supplied for
use, if suitable. A rubber washer is provided for each mounting hole for environmental sealing. If the rear
cable access is used, be sure that holes are aligned correctly so the cable is routed to allow a flush
installation of the base. As a mounting alternative, align the mounting holes with a 4 x 4 electrical box and
fasten the base to the box with machine screws.
Note: To assure a watertight seal, apply silicone sealant around the area where the base meets the wall or
ceiling. Vicon recommends Dow Corning® 737 neutral cure sealant or equivalent.
