  • Pole installation ∙ ∙ ∙ Install on the top of a thick metal pole. (Bottom or side wiring)
  • Ceiling installation ∙ ∙ ∙ Install on a concrete ceiling. (Side wiring)

➁ 

Procure locally the following parts depending on the camera mounting method used for the specific 
installation location.

■ 

To weld the bolt on the installation stand

  •  M8 nut .............................................................................................8 pcs. (To fix with double nuts)
  •  M8 flat washer / spring washer ............................................................................... 4 pcs. for each

■ 

To cast the anchor on the installation stand

  •  M8 anchor / bolt ..................................................................................................... 4 pcs. for each
  •  M8 flat washer / spring washer ............................................................................... 4 pcs. for each

■ 

To fix the safety wire

  •  M8 anchor / screw .................................................................................................... 1 pc. for each

Step.2 Work on the installation surface.

IMPORTANT:

• Before lowering the camera onto the installation surface, thread cables or wires through the 

bottom wiring port or the side wiring port.

•  Recommended tightening torque for mounting the attachment plate: 11.76 N∙m {8.67 lbf·ft}
•  Min. pull-out strength of fixing screws for the camera or the attachment plate ∙ ∙ ∙ 1539 N {346 lbf} (per 1 pc.)

Step.9 Fix the safety wire.

Fix the safety wire on the base of a building or on an area with sufficient strength (with a min. pull-out 
strength of 1539 N {346 lbf} or above). Please procure M8 fixing screws locally in accordance to the 
material of the installation location.

Perform Step 7 and subsequent steps at the installation location. 
Exercise care when executing the steps.
Step.7 Install the safety wire (accessory) to the camera

Tilt the camera over sideways with the buffer material in the packaging material, and as shown in 
the illustration below, install the wire clamper (accessory) and the safety wire (accessory) to the wire 
mounting holes at the bottom of the camera.

Note:

 • Please peel off the release paper of the double-sided tape attached on the bottom side of the 

wire clamper before use.

 • The safety wire can be pulled out from 2 directions. Install the wire clamper at the pulling direc-

tion of the safety wire.

IMPORTANT:

•  The installation surface is horizontal.
•  To weld the anchor bolt to the mounting portion, the maximum part of the threaded length is 

40 mm {1-9/16 inches} and the minimum is 30 mm {1-3/16 inches}.

•  Minimum pull-out strength: ∙ ∙ ∙ 1539 N {346 lbf} (per 1 pc.)
•  Fully consider the fixing screws for camera body or attachment plate fixing to installation area, 

such as using corrosion resistance treated screws or performing caulking.

IMPORTANT:

• To operate the camera temporarily for settings or other 

purposes, be sure to keep the camera in the upright 

position when connecting it to the power supply. After the 

camera is connected to the power supply, initial opera-

tions will begin automatically. Please ensure that the cam-

era is not obstructed by your hand or other objects when 

it starts panning, tilting or performing other actions.

IMPORTANT:

•  When using the camera in standing position, ensure that it does not topple over. Fix it temporarily on 

the included attachment plate (see Step 8), or ensure proper support before any work is done on it.

•  Use the handle of the protection bag only to take the camera out of its packaging box. Do not 

use it to hang the camera in high places.

To shoot the foot area of the camera installed, change the settings of the tilt arm to an approximate 45° 
incline. Please do as instructed below.

 

Remove the 2 tilt arm fixing screws on the 
left side of the camera.

  •  Loosen the support arm cover fixing screw 

with an hex wrench (locally procured), and 
remove the support arm cover from the 
camera body.

  •  Remove the 2 tilt arm fixing screws from the 

inside on the left.

Note:

 • The removed support arm cover and the 

2 screws will be reused after the tilt arm is 
bent forward.

 

 Remove the 4 tilt arm fixing screws from 
the right side of the camera.

  •  Loosen the 2 tilt cover cap fixing screws with 

an hex wrench (locally procured), and remove 
the tilt cover cap and the rubber cap from the 
camera body.

  •  Remove the 4 tilt arm fixing screws from the 

inside on the right.

Note:

 • The removed  tilt cover cap, the rubber 

cap, and the 4 screws will be reused after 
the tilt arm is bent forward.

 

 Ensure that the camera does not topple over, and bend the tilt arm 
to an approximate 45° incline. 

 

 Keep the TILT arm position tilted by an angle of 45°and re-fix the 
screws and the covers removed in 

 and
