Mounting the Camera with the On-Wall Set
2.4 Mounting the Camera with the In-Ceiling Set
2.4.1 Mounting Instructions
The In-Ceiling Set offers the most stylish installation option for the Q26. When properly
installed, the only visible component is a particularly sleek and discreet hemispheric camera,
while most of the remaining components are concealed inside the ceiling.
For these reasons, the Q26 installed with the In-Ceiling Set is the preferred option for most
indoor spaces frequented by customers or the general public (e.g. hotels, restaurants, banks,
retail stores, public buildings, etc.).
The common use of suspended ceilings in commercial and public buildings is an additional
reason to place a preference on in-ceiling installation. The installation process is also sim-
plified, as the network cable may be laid without difficulty and only a 15 cm diameter hole
must be cut in the ceiling or ceiling component.
Before installing the MOBOTIX Q26 to an indoor location using the In-Ceiling Set, you must
prepare the network connection and drill a hole for the camera:
•
Network connection
: The network cable is fed through the ceiling directly above the
camera.
When preparing for installation, keep in mind (particularly with regard to cable slack)
that the camera may later need to be repositioned in the correct orientation, according
to its specific purpose (OBEN / TOP arrow pointing in the direction of the longer wall
for ceiling installation in rectangular rooms).
•
Cut a hole for installation
: The hole should have a
diameter of 150 mm
(see drilling
