Mounting the Camera
• The camera illustrations in this document depict the BL-C121.
Caution
• Do not drive the screws into a soft material. Drive the screws into a
secure area of the wall, such as a wall stud, 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.
• The included screws are for use with wooden walls 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.

• Do not drive the screws into a soft material. Drive the screws into a secure area of the
wall, such as a wall stud, otherwise the camera may fall and be damaged.

• Allow sufficient space between the ceiling or wall and the flexible stand to turn the
position lock.
• Make sure the flexible stand is firmly mounted on a wall or ceiling stud (25 mm
[1 inch] and greater) etc. When there is no stud, apply a board on the other side of the

Place the flexible stand on the ceiling or wall where you plan to mount
the flexible stand and mark the points where you are going to make
holes.

Make holes with an electric drill. Insert anchors (customer-provided)
into the holes and use a hammer to make them flush with the wall.
