Installation Steps
Complete the following sections to install the device.
Mounting in the Correct Orientation
The H5A Fisheye camera provides 360° views of large areas. Because of the 360° view, it is not obvious
which part of the camera should be facing up when installed on a wall. To help with this, the mounting
template and the camera body have an up orientation arrow printed on them to signal which end should be
facing up.
When installing the camera on a ceiling, the orientation arrow can go in any direction.
Tip:
Before removing the mounting template after cutting or drilling the required holes, mark or
otherwise make note of the direction the orientation arrow is facing. This will help you to align the
camera body in the same orientation when installing.
When installing the camera to a wall, make sure that the orientation arrow is facing up, as shown in the
