Camera Installation
This section details installing the camera to a solid wall or to a ceiling, in an outdoor or an
indoor environment. Note that the wall or ceiling must be capable of supporting a minimum of
eight (8) times the weight of the camera and a bracket (if used).
DO NOT connect the camera to the power supply during installation.
Warning:
DO NOT connect the camera to the power supply during installation.
Warning:
For units intended to be installed outdoors: All wiring connecting to the unit must be
routed separately inside a different permanently earthed metal conduits (not supplied).
Warning:
Install external interconnecting cables in accordance to NEC, ANSI/NFPA70 (for US
application) and Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, CSA C22.1 (for CAN application) and in
accordance to local country codes for all other countries. Branch circuit protection
incorporating a
20 A, 2-pole Listed Circuit Breaker or Branch Rated Fuses are required as part of the building
installation. A readily accessible 2-pole disconnect device with a contact separation of at least
3 mm must be incorporated.
Note:
Dahua recommends attaching a “drip loop” (flex or hard conduit) during installation to
ensure condensation does not form in the mount or the conduit.
Note:
24 VAC Class 2 power supply only.
