Important Information Regarding Camera Mounting
Please read the following information before mounting the camera. Consult an authorized dealer for mounting.
Caution
• Make sure you attach the safety wire when mounting the bracket and the camera on a ceiling to prevent
them from falling.
Note
• This product should only be used with the BB-
HCM527 Network Camera.
• If using an SD memory card, insert the card before
installing the camera in the bracket.
• Use screws that are appropriate for the material of
ceiling.
• The included screws are for use with wooden
ceilings only.
• To ensure that camera images are displayed
properly, do not mount the bracket on an incline.
• The camera’s MAC address and serial number are
printed on the bottom of the camera and are
needed in order for camera configuration and
maintenance. Make a note of both of them for
before mounting the camera.
• Mounting and cabling instructions described in
this document follow generally accepted
guidelines suitable for residential installations. In
some areas, commercial and industrial
installations are regulated by local or state
ordinances. For such installations, contact your
local building department or building inspector for
more details.
• Camera images can be viewed in relatively dark
areas, however, image quality decreases when
viewing dark images. We recommend using
supplemental lighting for best results.
• Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or halogen
light may damage the camera’s image sensor.
Mount the camera appropriately.
• When mounting the camera, make sure to wrap
the AC adaptor cord (if used) and other cables
(external microphone or speaker cable, video
cable, etc.) around the hooks as shown to ensure
secure connections.
• Do not directly touch the lens cover. Clean the lens
cover with a dry and soft cloth if necessary.
• There must be at least 80 mm of space above the
ceiling board where this product will be installed.
• The ceiling board must be no more than 40 mm
thick.
