Installation

The installation tasks are explained using 4 steps.

Step1

Fix the mount bracket 
and hang the camera

Step4 

Configure the network 
settings

•  Remove the camera using the reverse order of the installation procedures.

IMPORTANT:

•  After waterproofing the hole for fixing mount 

bracket and the port for pulling out the cable 
on the installation surface, fix the mount 
bracket on the installation surface.

•  Adjust the length of cable from camera 

attachment port of attachment pipe to cable 
end to 150~160mm {5-29/32 inches~6-5/16 
inches}. (If the cable that is pulled out is too 
long, storage after wiring becomes difficult. 
Adjust the cable length carefully.)

•  For the number of fixing screws and the 

minimum pull-out strength (per 1 pc.), refer to 
the operating instructions of mount bracket 
(locally procured).

•  Ensure the minimum pull-out strength (per 

1 pc.) that has sufficient allowance for total 
mass of mount bracket (locally procured), 
attachment pipe, and camera etc.
