Installation Considerations
It's important to fully consider the intended position of the camera and the desired fields
of view prior to installation, in terms of how you are going to get cables to the position,
will the camera be able to see the appropriate areas, will the camera interfere with any
other fixture such as a doorway or walkway once it's fixed in place, or are there any
obstructions behind the surface onto which the camera is to be installed.
It's strongly recommended that if possible the camera should be temporarily powered up
prior to final installation and o
ff
ered into position so that these factors can be assessed
and any possible issue can be addressed before holes are drilled and difficult, time
consuming and costly cable runs are attempted. Check third party hardware to ensure it
doesn't e
ff
ect the operation of the camera and vice versa.
Camera Installation
Observe extreme caution when siting the camera. Ensure the act of drilling the pilot holes
and camera cut out hole does not infringe any cables, equipment or fixtures behind the
panel onto which the camera is to be installed.
Once you
ʼ
ve established a suitable fixing position, o
ff
er the cutting template into position.
You may find in helpful to use tape to fix the template into place prior to drilling and
cutting. Mark o
ff
the four Fixing Positions and the centre position.
Use a 122mm hole saw to create the cut out into which the camera will fit. The camera is
supplied with 4 x Stainless Steel self tapping screws. Drill pilot holes accordingly. The four
screw positions are very close to the cut out hole so care myst be taken.
Pass the cable through your cut-out and terminate, carefully ensuring there are no polarity
issues and the integrity of each termination is sound. Although the termination points may
not be immediately exposed to moisture, the environment in which your camera operates
may not always be completely dry - therefore, ensure any joints, connections,
terminations etc are sealed using adhesive lines heat shrink or a suitable insulating /
amalgamating tape.
When your cables are in place and correctly terminated, o
ff
er the camera up into the
fixing position and firmly screw into place.
To avoid moisture ingress between the bottom of the camera and the surface onto which
the camera is to be attached, apply a bead of suitable silicone sealant around the edge of
the plate to create a seal. Use a non-permanent sealant in case the camera has to be
removed at any point in the future. Using a permanent sealant could result in damage to
both the mounting surface and the camera itself.
