Installing the IPI-101
The Physical Installation
The IPI-101 is only 70mm wide so will fit on a metal or timber post 75mm or wider. The mounting plate must be fitted first.
Place the mounting plate on the post or wall approximately 1.4m metres from the ground so the camera will see a vis-
itors face and mark the position of the screw holes and cable entry hole then drill suitable sized holes for the screws if
needed and a 20mm or larger hole for cabling. The best screws for metal posts are self drilling galvanised screws. For
timber posts use galvanised timber screws and for concrete or brick posts or walls use raw plugs and suitable galvan-
ised screws (pictured). Brick requires larger and longer raw plugs and screws than concrete because it isn’t as even.
The cabling can be terminated inside a metal post or for concrete or timber posts a larger deeper hole can be made so
the cables cab be termined inside the post too. If fitted to a thin wall or fence then a weather proof box can be installed
around the back and suitable hole drilled so the cables can be terminated inside this.
Drill holes and use raw plugs
for concrete and brick walls
Use suitable screws for type
of material the post or wall is
made from
Screw for fixing to
base plate
Cover for screw for
security.
If using a network cable rather than WiFi to connect to the router and the cable is to go in the ground then a suitable in
ground Cat 5 cable is required, which is a tough polythene sheath and is gel filled to prevent moisture penatration. Same
goes for cables that run to an automatic gate operator if they go in the ground.
The IPI-101 must be connecting directly to a desktop or laptop computer with an ethernet cable to set it up before it will
work. The same goes for any Outdoor Access Points used for extending the WiFi range. If the IPI-101’s built in WiFi is
to be used it is recommended that this is done close to the router it is to be connected to before it is physically installed.
