Mounting the Camera
Three mounting methods are available, as shown here. Confirm which side
is the top and bottom of the camera when mounting; do not mount the
camera upside down. Consult an authorized dealer for mounting.
Caution
• Do not drive the screws into a soft material. Drive the screws into a
secure area of the wall or ceiling, such as a column, otherwise the
camera may fall and be damaged.
• Make sure you attach the safety wire when mounting the camera, to
prevent the camera from falling.
Note
• Use screws that are appropriate for the material of the wall or ceiling.
• The included screws are for use with wooden walls or ceilings only.
• The camera is intended for indoor use only and should not be mounted
outdoors.
• To ensure that camera images are displayed properly, do not mount the
camera on an incline. Mount the camera so that it is perpendicular to the
floor. Do not mount the camera upside down.
• 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.

Wiring through a hole made in the ceiling or wall
Make a hole for cables in the ceiling or wall. Then follow steps 1), 3), 4), 5),
6), 7) and 8).
When mounting on a mortar or concrete surface
• Prepare anchors for 4 mm (3/16 inches) diameter screws for mounting.
1.
Put flexible stand on the ceiling or wall where you plan to install the
camera and mark the points where you are going to make holes.
2.
Make holes with an electric drill. Insert anchors (customer-provided)
into the holes and push them inside the holes with the hammer.
• Mortar ceilings or walls break easily when drilling. Be careful of
pieces of mortar which may become loose and fall.
