NOTE:
1. It is presumed that this wall-mount bracket is installed with a hole drilled on the wall for
routing power lines, DI/DO, and Ethernet cables.
2. Route cables before you secure the wall-mount bracket to a wall.
3. For details on the cable connections with each camera, please refer to their Quick
Installation Guide.
IMPORTANT:
Wall Mount Installation
The screws and mounting surface must be able to support a weight of 5 kg.
Use the included alignment sticker on a preferred position. Drill holes on the wall and
install the junction box. If space behind the wall allows, you may also pass cables through
the wall. Note that an NPT pipe is still recommended if the connection goes through a
wall. Make sure water can not enter the drilled hole. Use silicon or caulk the drilled hole to
prevent water leakage. .
