Install the camera.

The camera has a splash resistant body (BB-HCM331 only). It allows the camera to be used indoors and outdoors. Waterproof cabling is necessary for 
outdoor mounting. Check the camera operation before installing (cabling and mounting) the camera.

Wiring the Camera

Check the location where the camera will be installed. Select 
the proper cable suited to the camera location. Consult an 
authorized wiring electrician for cabling. The camera can be 
mounted in the following ways.

Note for BB-HCM311

• 

BB-HCM311 is intended for indoor use only. Skip "Wiring the Camera" below to mount BB-HCM311.

• 

Do not mount the camera where the sun light directly hits the camera or in the outdoor type housing without temperature control system. The camera 
may malfunction due to high temperature.

• 

When you mount the camera, always hook the AC adaptor cord and audio cables to the hooks.

Note for BB-HCM331

• 

Install the camera under eaves to protect it from direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or halogen light may damage the CCD sensor.

• 

Use the sunshade in any conditions.

• 

Do not install the camera in the location where sea breezes may hit the unit directly.

• 

Avoid laying Ethernet cable underground or stringing it in the air. Lightning may cause serious damage to the camera or the connected devices.

• 

AC adaptor and AC cord are not waterproofed. Put them inside the outdoor power equipment near the camera and protect them from the rain. Ask the 
authorized electric wiring dealer.

• 

To use the AC adaptor, AC cord and Ethernet cable outside, waterproof electric wiring work should be performed.

• 

Do not expose the AC adaptor to the temperatures below -20 ˚C or above +50 ˚C. AC adaptor cannot be operated under these circumstances.

Change the drill depending on the
concrete wall or the tiled wall.

Caulk around the holes
if necessary.

• 

When you mount the camera, always hook the AC adaptor cord and 
audio cables to the hooks. 

Roll up putty around the cables and fit them into the holes to 
prevent water from getting inside the camera.

Cover the putty by rolling.

• 

Self bonding tape is used to fix the cables in a mount. Keep at least 
20 cm of it for cable fixing.

Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port of hub, router 
and PC.

Note

• 

Confirm the camera is functioning before puttying the cables. Putties 
and self bonding tape cannot be used twice.

• 

Check the length and the type of the Ethernet cable before fixing with putty.

Note

• 

When using an SD memory card, insert it before attaching the 
sunshade. See page 157 of the Operating Instructions on the Setup 
CD-ROM for using the SD memory card.
