4.1 Installing the Camera
1. Remove the camera and the hardware package from the box. Remove the PFA138 Junction
Box, mounting template, and hardware package from its box.
2. Use the hex key, from the hardware pack, to unscrew the three tamper-proof screws on the
dome enclosure, and remove the dome enclosure. Save the screws.
3. Determine the route of the cables; either through the installation medium and into the junction
box or through the side exit on the dome body.
4. Apply the junction box mounting template to the installation medium. Pre-drill the four
perimeter holes as marked on the template for the expansion bolts, using a drill bit that is no
wider than the expansion bolt.
5. Drill the center hole to route the cables from the camera through the installation medium, if
you plan to route the cable through the installation medium.
6. Insert an expansion bolt into each pre-drilled perimeter hole.
7. Secure the camera module to the installation medium with the four self-tapping screws.
8. Attach the waterproof network connector if the camera is used outdoors.

a) Place the wide side of the rubber ring onto the end of the network cable extending out
from the camera.
b) Pull the waterproof cable end without the Ethernet connector through the body of the
Waterproof Connector. Thread the cable through the Fixing Rubber Ring and the
Waterproof Locking Cover.
c) Attach the male Ethernet connector to the network cable coming from the camera. Ensure
the Waterproof Connector shroud covers the Ethernet connection.
d) Connect the other end of the waterproof connector to the network port and rotate it
clockwise to lock the network port and waterproof connector firmly.
e) Slide the Waterproof Locking Cover over the main body of waterproof connector and
rotate it clockwise to seal the connection.
9. Route the power and Ethernet cables from the back of the camera through the junction box
and installation medium or through the side exit on the junction box. Note: It is recommended
to route cables through a metal conduit for outdoor applications.
