Installing the Camera on a Surface
This section describes the procedures in directly mounting the camera on a flat surface, such
as a hard or dropped ceiling and straight or tilted walls.
The installation procedures of other mounting solutions are covered in the Installation Guide
downloadable from the website (
http://www.acti.com/mountingselector
).
NOTE:
The following camera images are taken using the closest camera model;
therefore some images and components may vary from the actual camera.
Before installation, make sure the wall or the ceiling can bear more than the
weight of the camera.
Step 1: Drill the Holes
Before drilling the holes on the ceiling or wall, note the direction of the connectors side of the
camera, which is also the opposite side of the camera logo. This influences the camera
placement and where you should drill the hole where the cables will pass through or how the
cables will go along the ceiling or wall.
1.
Attach the supplied drill template on the surface according to the preferred camera
orientation.
2.
Determine how the cables will be routed:
pass through the surface
or
along the
surface
.
If the cables will pass through the surface
, drill the cable hole and the three (3)
screw holes on the surface.
If the cables will be routed along the surface
, just drill the three (3) screw holes on
the surface.
3.
Detach the drill template from the surface and insert the plastic plugs into the screw holes.
