Removing the Dome Cover
Remove the dome cover by loosening the screws that fix the cover to the base. The Torx key included with the
dome camera can be used to loosen the screws.
NOTE:
Be careful not to scratch or touch the dome bubble. The resulting marks or fingerprints may affect the
overall image quality. Keep the protective covers on the bubble until after the installation is complete.
Mounting the Dome Camera
CAUTION —
The dome camera must be mounted as instructed below or problems with moisture may
arise and will not be covered by the dome camera warranty.
Perform the following steps to mount the dome camera to a ceiling or wall:
1. Determine where the cables will enter the camera. The camera has two cable entry holes: one on the side
and one on the bottom of the dome camera.
l
Use the supplied 1/2” NPT closure plug to fill the unused cable entry hole.
l
When installing outdoors, wrap the thread of the plug with the supplied Teflon sealing tape to
create a water tight seal.
2. If you are using the side cable entry hole, attach a conduit connector to the cable entry hole. Install the
conduit and its fitting as instructed by the manufacturer.
NOTE:
Only use vandal resistant conduits. Vandal resistant conduits will protect the cables and
complement the dome camera’s vandal resistant design.
When installing the dome camera outdoors, ensure the conduit and its fitting are designed for outdoor use
and have a suitable IP rating. Always apply silicone sealant to seal the cable entry hole and prevent
excessive moisture from entering the dome.
3. Use the drill template to drill four mounting holes in the ceiling or wall. The mounting pattern is compatible
with 4” round outdoor boxes or 4” octagonal junction boxes.
When installing outdoors on a vertical surface, the side cable entry hole must face downwards.
