Installation

Notes

• Do not grasp the camera head when carrying the camera.
• Do not turn the camera head manually. Doing so will result in the camera

malfunctioning.

Installing the Camera on the Ceiling

D

Using the supplied ceiling brackets, wire rope and screws, you can utilize
existing junction boxes, etc., to attach the camera to the ceiling.
When you install the camera, always install it on a level ceiling. If you have
to install it on a sloping or uneven ceiling, make sure that the place where
you install it is within ±5 degrees of the horizontal in order to ensure the pan/
tilt mechanism functions properly.

Warning

• If you attach the camera in the height such as the wall or the ceiling,

etc., entrust the installation to an experienced contractor or installer.

• If you install the camera on the ceiling, ensure that the ceiling is

strong enough to withstand the weight of the camera plus the ceiling
brackets and then install the camera securely. If the ceiling is not
strong enough, the camera may fall and cause serious injury.

• To prevent the camera from falling, make sure to attach the supplied

wire rope.

• If you attach the camera to the ceiling, check periodically, at least

once a year, to ensure that the connection has not loosened. If
conditions warrant, make this periodic check more frequently.

Before installation

After deciding the direction in which the camera will shoot, make the
required holes for the junction box, and connecting cables.

Note

The connecting cables cannot be passed through the upper ceiling bracket.
A hole for the wiring is required in the ceiling at the back of the camera
where it is attached to the ceiling.

Installation

1

Attach the fall-prevention wire rope to the junction box in the ceiling.

Use a screw hole and a screw (not supplied) in the junction box to attach
the wire rope.

2

Attach the upper ceiling bracket to the junction box on the ceiling.

Align the holes in the bracket with those in the junction box, and use
appropriate screws (not supplied).

There are elongated holes for the screws along the rounded edges of the
upper ceiling bracket. Later, the front of the camera will be positioned
along this edge. Face the camera toward the front, adjust the aim, and
attach it securely.

3

Attach the lower ceiling bracket to the bottom of the camera using the
supplied four screws (

3

M3 

×

 6).

Attach also the wire rope to the bottom of the camera using the supplied
shoulder screw (

3

M4).

When attaching, align the screw holes on the bottom of the camera with
those in the ceiling bracket, and set the triangular hole in the ceiling
bracket at the front of the camera.

Tighten the screws a little bit at a time in the numbered order shown in
the illustration. After all of the screws are temporarily tightened in the
proper manner, securely tighten each one in turn.

Caution

To attach the ceiling bracket, use only the screws supplied with the
camera. Using other screws may damage the camera.

4

Insert the raised protrusions on the lower ceiling bracket into the spaces
provided in the upper ceiling bracket, and temporarily fix them by turning
the camera with lower ceiling bracket clockwise.

5

Attach it using the supplied three screws (

3

M3 

×

 6), starting with the

screw at position 

1

.

6

Attach the mounting bracket cover around the ceiling bracket.

7

Connect the cables to the connectors on the rear of the camera.

8

Temporarily attach the cable cover by inserting the raised protrusions on
the cable cover into the gaps at the rear of the upper ceiling cover. Then
fix the cable cover using the supplied two screws (

3

M3 

×

 6).

To extend the cables through the rear of the cable cover, cut out the
thinner portion 

 of the cover using a cutter knife.

Note

Take proper steps to ensure that the load of the connected cables does
not cause problems.

Removing the camera

1

Remove two screws used to attach the cable cover in step 

8

 of

“Installation” and remove the cable cover.

2

Disconnect the cables from the connectors at the rear of the camera.

Pushing the entire camera up towards the ceiling, turn the camera
counterclockwise as far as it goes, then pull it out.

Installing the Camera on the Desk Top

F

When you install the camera, always install it on a level surface. If you have
to install it on a sloping or uneven surface, make sure that the place where
you install it is within ±5 degrees of the horizontal in order to ensure the pan/
tilt mechanism functions properly. In this case, be sure to take the fall-
prevention measures.

1

Paste the supplied four rubber feet on the bottom of the camera.

2

Turn the Sony badge on the front to fit top and bottom.

3

Connect the AC power adaptor and attach the plug retainer using the
supplied screw (

3

M3 

×

 6) to prevent it coming out.

4

Place the camera on the desktop.

Note

By default, the images from the camera are displayed normally when the
camera is installed on the ceiling. To display the images from the camera
in correct way when you place the camera on the desk top, use the E.flip
function.

For the setting of the E.flip function, see the User’s Guide stored in the
supplied CD-ROM.

Connection
