Installing the Camera in a Suspended Tile Ceiling
The camera is shipped with the ceiling mount for this type of installation.
The camera is mounted from above the ceiling, through a round hole, with only the bezel and the features
inside it accessible from below. The camera rests on a support plate that distributes its weight across the
ceiling tile; the support plate may also be suspended. A trim ring conceals the camera bezel and the
adjacent portion of the ceiling tile.
Preparing the Tile Ceiling
Note
All above-ceiling work must conform to local building codes and should be performed by qualified
personnel.
1. Remove the ceiling tile where the camera will be mounted.
2. Trace a 6.25 in. (15.9 cm) circle for the camera opening on the front side of the tile. You can use the tile
support brace as a template.
3. Cut the camera opening.
4. Ensure that the camera's bezel ring fits into the opening. The bezel ring stands out 0.5 in (12.7 mm)
from the camera face.
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.
