2-SETTING UP
Mounting options
Using the supplied accessories, the camera can be mounted on a ceiling or wall. It can
also be mounted in a hidden location such as in a container or behind a partition.
Important: The dome cover holds the camera housing together. When you
remove the dome cover, take care that the camera housing does
not separate.
Ceiling installation
Before choosing a location for the ceiling installation, consider the following:
.You may need to install the camera from above, in which case two adjacent
tiles need to be removed for the installation.
.You must hold the camera in position from above the ceiling tile while
screwing the dome cover on.
You may need to adjust the camera angle before replacing the adjacent tile.
.
.You need a power source for the camera.
Refer to the following for the ceiling installation.
1. Remove the dome cover from the camera.
2. Cut a 27-mm diameter hole in a ceiling tile with a circle cutter.
(Use a spade bit to drill a hole in a wood panel.)
Put the camera in from the top.

MOUNTING OPTIONS
4. Use foam spacers to ensure the dome cover screws on securely.A
thinner ceiling tile may require more than one foam ring; a thicker
ceiling tile may require none at all.
Adjust the camera angle. (See "Adjusting the camera angle" on
page 14.)
5.
6. Screw the dome cover onto the camera.
Wall installation
Before choosing a location for the wall installation, consider the following:
.You need a power source for the camera. Check that the cable length on the
supplied AC adapter is long enough to reach your power source before
drilling holes.
.Does the location you choose to install the camera allow easy access to the
camera? The camera dome must be removed and the camera taken out of the
wall bracket to connect to DC IN and R/C IN.
The wall bracket is designed so that cables cannot be unplugged from the
camera once installed. However, if you need to access the DC IN and R/C
IN jacks often, consider fixing a block of wood behind the bracket so there is
more space between the jacks and the wall.
.
1. Remove the dome cover from the camera.
2. Put the wall mount ring on the camera.
The wall mount ring and camera are keyed to connect only one way.

2-SETTING UP
3. Replace the dome cover.
5.
Plug the AC adapter into the camera. (See page 7 for using a battery
to power the camera.)
If you are using the sensor cable, plug it in now. (The sensor cable
shown in the above drawing is optional. Use of the sensor cable is
covered on page 17.)
4.
6. Align the mounting bracket on the surface and mark the three holes
with a sharpened pencil.
