Installing the SharpX using the magmount
In a mobile installation, cameras can be attached to the roof of the vehicle using the Universal
Mounting Bracket and pan/tilt mount in conjunction with the Genetec magmount.

What you should know
WARNING
:
Do not remove the silicone boots covering the magnets. Genetec is not responsible for
scratches to the vehicle’s paint caused by contact with bare magnets.
NOTE:
The mount’s magnets are extremely strong, and may be difficult to remove once attached to
your vehicle’s roof. If you need to adjust your camera's position after it is attached, you may find it
easier to loosen the bolts rather than attempt to move the entire mount.
NOTE:
The holding power of the magnetic mounting systems is dependent on surface finish, surface
flatness, and thickness of the steel mounting surface. Keep your mounting surface and magnets
clean, dry, and free of foreign particles that would prevent good surface contact.
To install the SharpX using the magmount:
1 Assemble the magmount base using the instructions included with the magmount kit.
TIP:
Don’t tighten the bolts until after you have properly positioned the camera.
2 Attach the SharpX pan/tilt/roll bracket to the magmount base using four hex bolts.
3 Attach the SharpX camera to the pan/tilt/roll bracket.
