Installation
WARNING
If you attach the camera in the height such as the wall or the ceiling, etc.,
ˎ
entrust the installation to an experienced contractor or installer.
If you install the camera at a height, ensure that the installation location and
ˎ
its material are strong enough to withstand a weight of 15 kg (33 lb 11 oz) or
more, and then install the camera securely. If the ceiling is not strong enough,
the camera may fall and cause serious injury.
Do not pull on any cables forcefully, as a connection may become loose.
ˎ
To prevent the camera from falling, make sure to attach the supplied wire rope.
ˎ
If you attach the camera to the ceiling, check periodically, at least once a year,
ˎ
to ensure that the connection has not loosened. If conditions warrant, make
this periodic check more frequently.
Deciding the Installation Location of the Camera
After deciding the direction in which the camera will shoot, make the required hole
(ø40 mm (1
23
/
40
inches)) for the connecting cables using the supplied template.
Then decide the four mounting hole positions to install the base stand.
Mounting screws
The camera stand is provided with four ø4.5 mm (
3
/
16
inches) mounting holes.
Install the camera stand on a ceiling or wall with screws through four mounting
holes: The required mounting screws differ depending on the installation
location and its material. Use commercially-available screws.
Steel wall or ceiling: Use M4 bolts and nuts.
Wooden wall or ceiling: Use M4 tapping screws. The panel thickness must be
15 mm (
5
/
8
inches) or more.
Concrete wall: Use anchors, bolts and plugs suitable for concrete walls.
Junction box: Use screws to match the holes on the junction box.
WARNING
The required mounting screws differ depending on the installation location and
its material. If you do not secure the camera with the appropriate mounting
screws, the camera may fall off.
Installing the Camera
1
Pass the cables through the hole for connecting cables made at the
installing surface.
2
Fix the wire rope to the wall or ceiling.
3
Install the camera on the wall or ceiling.
The remaining cable can be incorporated in the space between the base
stand and the mounting surface. (
-
)
Insert the four screws in the screw holes on the camera stand, and then
tighten the screws to attach the camera.
When installing the camera on the wall, be sure the TOP mark on the camera
stand is at the top.
Refer to “Mounting screws” in section D for screw to be used.
Notes
If you install the camera unit on a ceiling, take adequate waterproofing
ˎ
measures to prevent water seepage into the stand.
When installing the unit on a wall, make sure the water drain is not sealed.
ˎ
Notes on waterproofing of cable connection area
Despite the fact that this unit is rated IP66, the cables and/or the connectors
join to the outside are not waterproof. To prevent water ingress from the cables
and/or the connectors, waterproof them with the supplied waterproof tape as
follows. Otherwise, there may be a risk of water entering through the cables
and/or the connectors and shorting the unit or the connectors.
1
Connect all the required cables and the ground wire.
2
To obtain optimal waterproofing, tear off the liner before wrapping,
then stretch the tape to twice its original length. (
-1)
If it is not fully stretched, the waterproofing function of the tape can not be
achieved.
3
Overlap the tape at least half of its width when wrapping. (
-2)
Notes
Do not press the network cable tab down when wrapping it.
ˎ
When you wrap the power input cable, start from the heat shrinkable tube.
ˎ
Make sure at least 30 mm (1
1
/
4
inches) of the wire part that is connected to
the power supply equipment is wrapped. (2-c)
Since the connector of the power input cable has gaps, wrap the connector
ˎ
part two-fold.
Make sure at least 10 mm (
ˎ
1
/
2
inches) of the wire part (excluding the power
input cable) is wrapped.
Make sure there is no unwrapped part or damage on the tape.
ˎ
4
After wrapping, squeeze the tape with your fingers at the overlapping
parts so that layers are airtight and fully adhered.
