Installation

Template

Prepare the dome for installation

Connect the wiring

1. Loosen the four cover screws with the supplied Torx driver and remove the dome 

cover.

2. Loosen the gimbal securing screws to remove the camera module.
3. Select a mounting method below--A, B, or C. 

1. Connect 

F1

 and 

F2

 to your video-out and power-in cables.

2. If needed, use 

F8

 (wire-ended adapter lead) with power supply cables.

Note

  12vDC: connect the red lead to +ve and black lead to -ve. 

24vAC: Connect either way, polarity is not important.

3. Connect the camera to 

F4

.

4. To focus the camera, use 

F3

Use template to prepare mounting area

Flush Mount

•  Tape the template to the mounting surface and cut a 4.3” hole as indicated by 

T5

 

on the template.

A. Using Screws:

 

Using a ¼” (7mm) drill bit, drill two holes at template positions 

T2

 and insert a 

wall anchor in each hole. Use two (no. 12 x 1 ½”) screws to secure the camera to 

mounting surface.

B. Using Locking Arms:

 

Place the camera (with the locking arms retracted) into the opening. Use a Phillips 

head screwdriver to turn the silver-colored screws (

B1

) clockwise to first extend 

the locking arms and then tighten them against the mounting surface. Tighten the 

screws sufficiently to compress the o-ring seals under the screw heads, however - 

DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

Surface Mount

C. Surface Mount:

 

Tape the template to the mounting surface and using a ¼” (7mm) drill bit, drill four 

holes at template positions 

T1

 and insert a wall anchor in each hole. Use four (no. 

12 x 1 ½”) screws to secure the camera to mounting surface. If you are install-

ing the camera outside, use a rubber o-ring with each screw to ensure moisture 

resistance.

Note

  When flush mounting or surface mounting using the outer ring, ensure that the 

large rubber gasket (

E6

) is in place under the lip of the dome enclosure.

Note

  Do not attempt to adjust the camera position by holding the lens. This 

will damage the camera. Make adjustments by tilting and rotating the 

gimbal assembly. DO NOT rotate/tilt the disk beyond its maximum 

allowed range (350/87 degrees), you may damage the camera.

•  To avoid damage to the lens 

mount, tilt and pan the lens by 

holding onto the two bars (

I2

) on 

the disk. DO NOT USE THE LENS 

TO POSITION THE CAMERA.

•  Rotate and pan the camera chas-

sis (

I1

) to the desired position.

Fit camera assembly

Adjust camera position and test

Replace camera liner & dome cover

Remove camera liner

•  Place the complete camera assembly (

G1

) onto 

the three mounting pillars (

G2

) and tighten the 

gimbal screws.

•  Rotate and pan the camera chassis to the desired position 

and then tighten the camera chassis locking screws.

•  Replace the dome cover. Four small internal rigs in the cover align with four 

corresponding index slots (

E7

) on the enclosure body. These restrict the cover to 

only four possible orientations and ensure that the cover screw holds are correctly 

aligned. Use the included Torx key to tighten the four cover screws. DO NOT 

OVERTIGHTEN.

•  Carefully place the camera liner (

J1

over the focused camera so that it 

fits fully on the top ring of the camera 

chassis (

J2

) and provides an 

unobstructed view for the camera 

lens.

•  Lift the camera liner (

H1

) from the chassis (

H2

to provide full access to the camera.

Open the necessary cable entry

•  There are two cable entry options: base cable entry (

E1

), or side cable entry (

E3

).

•  For surface mount, use 

E3

 to go with either 

E4

 or 

E5

.

•  Rotate the outer ring as necessary to align knock-outs with side cable entry.
•  Unused cable entries should be blocked with sealing plugs (

E8

).

•  For indoor installations without conduit, the cable entry grommet (

E9

) should be 

used to prevent dust ingress.

•  For outdoor installations, conduit should be used to carry cables to the housing.

Mounting Methods

There are three mounting methods available for this camera:

A:

  Flush Mount using screws
