Step1 Fix the mount bracket and hang the camera (continued)

Here explains an example of installation on a wall 
using wall mount bracket (WV-Q122A). For detailed 
installation information and procedure, refer to 
operating instructions of each mount bracket.

3

Process the installation surface

Decide the attachment position and bore holes for 
screws or anchors on the wall and a hole for wiring 
as occasion demands.

4

   Pass a cable into mount bracket and fix it 

on the installation surface

  Insert the cables coming from installation surface from rear 

surface of mount bracket to internal and pull them out from 
camera attachment port (cable cover attachment side).

*  

When passing the cables into mount bracket, take 
care not to apply unreasonable force to the cables.

  Apply waterproof treatment to the installation sur-

face and the cap of the mount bracket backside.

  Attach the mount bracket to wall surface using 

fixing screws (4 pcs.) (M10: locally procured).

6

 Attach the cable cover (accessory)

 Fix the cable cover to WV-Q121B/WV-Q122A or 

attachment pipe using hexagon screws (4 pcs.) 
(M5: accessory).
Adjust the orientation of cable cover so that the 
line part of cable cover faces front of the bracket.

IMPORTANT:

•  “Camera mounting screw (hexagon screw (M6))” 

included with WV-Q121B/WV-Q122A cannot be 
used. Use the “hexagon screw (M5)” included with 
the camera.

•  Recommended tightening torque: 2.45 N·m 

{1.81 lbf·ft}

 Remove the tape as the installed auxiliary wire is 

temporarily fixed to the inside of the cable cover 
with tape.

7

 Hang the camera at the installed auxiliary 

wire of the cable cover and fix the safety wire

 Move the camera to the installation location and 

hitch the installed auxiliary wire of the cable cover 
to the wire hook on the upper part of camera. 
Next, lower the wire stopper to prevent the 
installed auxiliary wire from coming off.

 Attach the safety wire of the camera to the wire 

hook section of mount bracket.
