Preparing the Mounting Surface 

Note

To prevent moisture from entering the housing, position the enclosure with the side conduit entry 
pointing down. 

Note

The housing is intended for mounting on a flat surface only.

1.

Use the mounting template to mark the mounting surface for the screw holes and the cable access 
hole.

2.

Pre-drill holes in the mounting surface as required.

Installing the Conduit Plug

The HD4 equIP Series camera ships with 
the conduit plug pre-installed in the 
enclosure base back conduit entry. To use 
the back conduit entry, remove the conduit 
plug and install it in the side conduit entry 
after loosening the locking screw. (See

necessary connections as shown in the table below. 

3.

Connect to the network:

If you haven’t already connected a CAT5 cable to the RJ45 network connector for PoE,

Note

For detailed audio and alarm configuration information, refer to the Refence Guide for 
your camera located on the IP Utility DVD.
