shown above.
2. Remove the plastic stopper from the bottom of the dome cap and keep the M20 hex
nut for later use.
3. Depending on the number of wires, remove seals (C) from the rubber seal (B).
4. If you have external devices such as sensors and alarms, feed IO wires through the
waterproof connector (E --> D --> B --> A) as illustrated below. Note that there are 16
holes on the seal (B), and wire range is beteen 1.2 and 1.8mm.
5. Push the seal (B) into the housing (D).

IMPORTANT:
If your camera comes without the dehumidier,
you should examine whether the color of the
silica gel inside the chassis has turned red. If
so, you should replace the desiccant bag.
To replace the desiccant bags:
1. Remove the dome cover by loosening 4 T25
anti-tamper screws.
2. Replace the desiccant bags by attaching
them rmly to the inside of the chassis.
3. Re-install the dome cover.
Also note the following:
1. Do not install the camera in a raining day.
2. It takes approximately 2 days to suppress
the moisture level to 30% or lower, either
using the desiccant bags or the dehumidier.
3. Condensation may still be observed from on
the dome cover within 30 minutes.

1. The camera weighs 3.66kg. Select a rigid mounting location to prevent vibration to
the camera. Attach the alignment sticker to the wall.
2. Drill 4 pilot holes (10mm in diameter and 4cm deep) into the wall, and then hammer
in threaded anchors. Note that you should hammer the anchors with hex nuts on
them so that the threaded poles will not be deformed! If preferred, drill another hole
for routing cables.
3. Secure the wall mount bracket to wall using 4 sets of captive washers and nuts.
4. Align the camera with the wall mount bracket.
5. Tighten 3 included screws using a Phillips screwdriver. Make sure all parts have been
securely tightened.
