1.  The mounting surface must bear five times the weight of your camera. 
2.  Do not let the cables get caught in improper places or the electric line 

cover to be damaged. This may cause a breakdown or fire.

3.  CAUTION: These servicing instructions are for use by qualified service 

personnel only. To reduce the risk of electric shock do not perform any 
servicing other than that contained in the operating instructions unless 
you are qualified to do so.

4.  CAUTION: There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced 

incorrectly and it should be replaced only with the same battery.  
ATTENTION: Il y a risque d’explosion si la batterie est remplacée par 
une batterie de type incorrect. Mettre au rebut les batteries usages 
conformément aux instructions.

5.  Used batteries must be disposed of according to local regulations or 

the battery manufacturer’s instructions. Disposing of batteries in a fire 
or in a hot oven, or mechanically crushing and cutting them may cause 
an explosion.

6.  Leaving the battery in very high temperature or low air pressure 

environments may result in an explosion or leak of flammable liquids 
or gases.

7.  This product is intended to be supplied by a UL Listed Power Supply 

Unit marked “Class 2” or “LPS” or “PS2” and rated 12 Vdc, 0.71A (DWC-
PPVF9Di2TW and DWC-PVF9Di2TW) and 0.63A (DWC-PPVF5Di1TW 
and DWC-PVF5Di1TW) min.

8.   

The wired LAN hub providing power over the Ethernet (PoE) in 
accordance with IEEE 802-3af shall be a UL Listed device with the 
output evaluated as a Limited Power Source as defined in UL60950-1 
or PS2 as defined in UL62368-1.

9.  Unit is intended for installation in a Network Environment 0 as defined 

in IEC TR 62102. As such, associated Ethernet wiring shall be limited to 
inside the building.

Installation using mount bolt and screws:

1.  Using the template sheet for the nuts and bolts installation, mark and 

drill the holes on the mounting surface.

2.  Secure the two long mounting screws to the camera’s base.
3.  Pass the wires through the mount bracket and make all necessary 

connections.

4.  Mount the camera to the mounting surface by using the 2 mounting 

nuts. Rotate the locking discs over the screws until the camera is held 
tightly from the mounting surface.

5.  Re-attach the camera’s gasket ring and dome to the camera module by 

aligning the screw holes. Be sure to align the wedge on the side of the 
camera with the one on the mounting bracket.

1.  Once all cables are connected, secure the camera to the mounting 

surface using the included screws.

2.  For soft installation surfaces, use the included metal mount plate. Fix 

the mounting plate on the mounting surface using the 
included screws. Then, press the bottom case onto  
the mounting plate. The three bezels on the case will  
align and snap lock onto the plate.

STEP 3 – INSTALLING THE CAMERA

4.  Re-attach the camera’s gasket ring and dome
