Selecting the Installation Area
This product is designed for installation in a suspended ceiling tile above a conference table, lectern or work
surface. Mounting kit 998-2225-152 is available for gypsum board (drywall) or wood ceilings.
Note
All above-ceiling work must conform to local building codes and should be performed by qualified
personnel.
1. Use the plumb line to determine the ideal camera location, centered above the surface where
documents or other objects will be placed, and mark the desired center.
2. Verify that the area above the ceiling where the camera is to be installed is clear of obstructions and
provides enough room for the camera enclosure:
n
8 inch by 8 inch (20.3 cm x 20.3 cm) footprint, aligned to the work surface where the camera's
subject is placed
n
Minimum 5.6 inches of clear space above the camera opening to maneuver the camera into place

The DocCAM 20 HDBT can be installed in a dropped acoustic tile ceiling or in a wood or drywall ceiling.
Total installed weight is roughly 5.1 lbs (2.3 kg).
Preparing a Tile Ceiling
1. Remove the ceiling tile where the camera will be mounted.
2. Use the tile support brace as a template to trace the camera opening on the front side of the tile.
3. Cut the camera opening.
4. Ensure that the tile fits over the camera's bezel ring.
5. Place the tile back in the ceiling grid.
6. Place the tile support brace above the tile, aligning it to the hole in the tile.
7. If required, secure the tile support brace to the building structure. The ends have holes to accommodate
support wires.
Note
This step is optional unless local building codes require it.
