Installation 

Before installation: 

• 

Make sure that the device is in good condition and all the assembly parts are included.

• 

Check the specification of the products for the installation environment.

• 

Make sure that the wall or the ceiling is strong enough to withstand 3 times the weight of the camera.

• 

To avoid fire or shock hazard, use only UL listed power supplies. Verify that the power supply will 
provide the rated voltage and wattage for the camera. See the 

Specifications

 section. 

During installation: 

• 

Camera Lens

: Handle the camera carefully to prevent scratching or soiling the lens. If the lens or IR 

array shield becomes soiled, clean it only with approved products. See the 

Cleaning

 section. 

• 

Power supply

Camera drop cable

: The camera drop cable includes two connectors: 

 

Video BNC connector

: For transmission of the video signal across a coax (75 Ω) extension 

cable to an HD-TVI compatible recorder.

 

Power connector: 

When applying power, observe the power polarity. See the picture to the 

left for the connector polarity configuration. 

Mounting the camera 

A B5 camera can be mounted directly to a wall or ceiling, or with a junction box. The surface should 
support at least three times the weight of the camera and junction box (if used). The video/power drop 
cable from the camera can be routed either through mounting surface or through a cable channel in the 
mounting base.

Typical ceiling mounting

NOTE

If mounting the camera on a wall, ensure that the cable channel in the mounting base is down. 
If mounting the camera on a ceiling, orient the mounting base so that the cable channel is pointing 
away from any source of water, dust, and other contaminates. 

1. 

Using the drill template provided, mark the location of the screws that anchor the mounting base 
to the mounting surface. See the note above. If you are routing the drop cable through mounting 
surface, also mark the position of the hole for the drop cable. 

2. 

Drill holes for the screws that anchor the base to the mounting surface. The mounting hardware 
provided is appropriate for most surfaces. However, depending on the surface materials, more 
appropriate fasteners may be required. 

3. 

If routing the drop cable through the mounting surface, drill a 5/8” hole in the middle of the drill 
template. 

4. 

Route the drop cable through the hole in the mounting surface, or through the cable channel in the 
mounting base, then attach the camera assembly to the surface using the appropriate fasteners. 

5. 

Connect the camera drop cable to video and power extension cables as required. 

6. 

Connect the other end of the video extension cable to an HD-TVI compatible video monitoring 
device (DVR) digital video recorder such as the R4, R8 or R16 recorder.
