5 Mounting
5.1 Mounting Location and Orientation Options
MIC cameras are designed for easy installation in various locations such as directly onto
buildings and poles suitable to support CCTV equipment.
Select a secure installation location and mounting orientation for the device. Ideally, this is a
location where the device cannot be interfered with either intentionally or accidentally.
Select a location where the MIC camera will not touch materials such as steel straps or
cables.
You can install the camera:
–
onto a MIC-DCA or a MIC wall mount (MIC-WMB) with a MIC shallow conduit adapter
(MIC-SCA). (Never install the wall mount only.)
or
– directly to a mounting surface using the supplied base gasket and the appropriate
connector kit (sold separately):
–
MIC-IP67-5PK MIC7000 IP67 Connector Kit
To have an installation rated IP67, you must use the appropriate IP67 Connector Kit from
Bosch.
Confirm that no residual water or moisture is in the bottom of camera. Ground the camera as
described in the chapter “Installing a MIC Camera on a Hinged DCA.”
The most common type of mounting location is the top of a pole suitable to support CCTV
equipment and that provides a robust mounting platform to minimize camera motion and
typically has a large base cabinet for mounting ancillary equipment such as power supplies.
Other locations for mounting the camera include the top of a building, the side (wall) of a
building, the corner of a building, and under the eave of a building.
The camera can also be mounted on the side of a lamp post, pole, or similar column using the
Pole Mount Bracket (MIC-PMB). Be aware that lamp posts can often be subject to movement
and are not suitable platforms in all conditions or for all applications.
Notice!
Outdoor installation
For details about the proper configuration for installing your camera outdoors with surge and
lightning protection, refer to
Best Practices for Outdoor Installation, page 56 .
Ensure that the location has the appropriate clearance from power and lightning conductors,
in accordance with
NEC725 and NEC800 (CEC Rule 16-224 and CEC Section 60) .
Do not install the device near:
–
Any heat sources
– Any overhead power lines, power circuits, or electrical lights, or where the device may
contact power lines, circuits, or lights
Isolate shielded CAT5e or CAT6 cable from any high voltage power lines in a separate
grounded, metal conduit. Refer to the datasheet for test conditions for allowable transients /
voltage fluctuations.
Mounting surface recommendations for MIC mounting accessories
The mounting surface should be capable of supporting the combined weight of the MIC
MIC Illum MIC mounting accessory (DCA, wall mount, corner bracket, etc.).
All expected conditions of load, vibration and temperature should be considered when
planning an installation. The material should accommodate a minimum pull-out strength of 275
kg (600 lb).
The mounting accessory should be secured to one of the following surfaces:
