To mount the camera directly onto a mounting surface 

1. 

Determine the best fasteners for securing the camera to mounting surface. The mounting hardware 
provided is suitable for most surfaces. 

2. 

Using the Drill Template provided, mark the location of the mounting screw holes. If mounting the 
camera onto a vertical surface, orient the Drill Template so it is vertical, as shown in the photo above 
(see 

What’s in the box

). If the drop cable will be routed through the mounting surface, mark the 

location of the hole for the camera drop cables. 

NOTE

: The camera drop cables can also be routed 

through the opening in the edge of the camera mounting base. 

3. 

Drill holes for the mounting fasteners, and for the drop cables where needed. 

4. 

Route the network LAN, power, and ALARM and AUDIO peripheral cables to the installation location.

To mount the camera using the Junction box 

1. 

Determine the best fasteners for securing the Junction box to mounting surface. The mounting 
hardware provided is suitable for most surfaces. 

2. 

Remove the junction box from the camera assembly by loosing the four captive screws. 

3. 

Using the Junction box as a template, mark the location of the Junction box mounting screw holes. If 
routing extension cables for the LAN, power, alarm devices, etc. through the mounting surface, mark 
the location for that hole too. If installing the box onto a vertical surface, observe the orientation for 
TOP and BOTTOM orientation markings inside the box.

4. 

Drill holes in the mounting surface for the mounting screws and extension cables (if necessary). 

5. 

Secure the Junction box to the mounting surface using appropriate fasteners. 

6. 

Route the network LAN, power, ALARM, RS485, and AUDIO extension cables between the junction 
box and the devices they connect to. Do not apply power to the extension cables at this time. 

7. 

Attach the camera safety cable to the safety hook inside the junction box.

To mount the camera onto an electrical box

1. 

Install a double-gang electrical box at the location where the camera will be installed. 

2. 

Attach the adapter plate provided to the electrical box using four (4) screws. 

3. 

Remove the junction box from the camera assembly by loosing the four mounting base captive 
screws. 

4. 

Attach the junction box to the adapter plate using four (4) screws. 

5. 

Route extension cables from the power source and LAN switch (or LAN with PoE), and peripheral 
devices for the left (or microphone) and right audio channels, and alarm input and output devices 
into the electrical box, and then up through the cable opening in the adapter plate and junction box. 

6. 

Attach the camera safety cable to the safety cable hook inside the junction box.

Camera drop cables to Ethernet, power and peripheral devices 

1. 

Connect the network LAN, power, and ALARM and AUDIO peripheral cables to the camera drop 
cables as needed. The camera can connect to one microphones, an alarm input sensor and an alarm 
output (reporting) device, and to one audio line out device. Labels on the ALARM and AUDIO drop 
cables show the which terminals are for signal and which are ground. 

2. 

Connect the Ethernet LAN cable to the camera LAN drop cable. Protect the connection from 
moisture and other contamination, if necessary. A weatherproof fitting is provided. 

3. 

If the camera is not powered using PoE (Power over Ethernet injector), connect the 12 Vdc power 
cable to the camera drop cable. The polarity of the drop cable connector is shown below. 

CAUTION

Do not apply power to the camera at this time. Before applying power to the camera, ensure that 
the polarity is correct. An incorrect connection may cause a malfunction and can damage the 
camera. 

4. 

Secure the camera to the mounting surface or Junction box using appropriate screws.
