Important Information Regarding Camera Mounting
Please read the following information before mounting the camera. Consult an
authorized dealer for mounting.
Caution
• Make sure you attach the safety wire when mounting the camera on a
ceiling to prevent the camera from falling.
Note
• The camera is intended for indoor use only and should not be mounted
outdoors.
• Use screws that are appropriate for the material of ceiling.
• The included screws are for use with wooden ceilings only.
• To ensure that camera images are displayed properly, do not mount the
camera on an incline. Mount the camera so that it is perpendicular to the
floor.
• When the camera is mounted on a ceiling, the ceiling mounting cover must
be removed in order to insert or remove the SD memory card.
• The camera’s MAC address and serial number are printed on the bottom of
the camera and are needed in order for camera configuration and
maintenance. Make a note of both of them for before mounting the camera.
• Mounting and cabling instructions described in this document follow
generally accepted guidelines suitable for residential installations. In some
areas, commercial and industrial installations are regulated by local or state
ordinances. For such installations, contact your local building department or
building inspector for more details.
• Camera images can be viewed in relatively dark areas, however, image
quality decreases when viewing dark images. We recommend using
supplemental lighting for best results.
• Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or halogen light may damage the
camera’s image sensor. Mount the camera appropriately.
• When mounting the camera, make sure to wrap the AC adaptor cord (if
used) and other cables (external microphone or speaker cable, video cable,
etc.) around the hooks as shown to ensure secure connections.
• Do not directly touch the lens cover. Clean the lens cover with a dry and soft
cloth if necessary.

Mounting the Camera
1.
Secure the safety wire to the camera using screw B (included) and
washer B (included).
• Make sure you attach the safety wire when mounting the camera on a
ceiling to prevent the camera from falling.
2.
Secure the ceiling plate (included) to the ceiling using screws A
(included).
• You will need to remove the ceiling plate later.
• Make sure there is at least 110 mm (4 5/16 inches) of space, with no
obstacles, from the center of the plate.
• Do not drive the screws into a soft material. Drive the screws into a
secure, 25 mm (1 inch) thick area of the ceiling, such as a crossbeam,
otherwise the camera may fall. If there is no crossbeam, place a board
on the other side of the ceiling to make sure the camera is securely
mounted.
3.
If you plan to run the cables above the ceiling, make a 30 mm
(1 3/16 inches) hole in the ceiling, as shown. Run all necessary cables
(AC adaptor, LAN, audio/video, etc.) through the hole.
• Make a
φ
30 mm (1 3/16 inches) hole where is 50 mm (1 15/16 inches)
away from the center in the plate.
4.
Loosen the screws slightly, turn the ceiling plate counter-clockwise, then
remove the ceiling plate.
5.
Align the two round protrusions on the camera and the holes on the
ceiling plate, turn the screw to attach the ceiling plate firmly, and then
pass the safety wire through the ceiling plate, as shown. Place the
camera on the carton box when performing this procedure.
6.
Connect all necessary cables (AC adaptor, LAN, audio/video, etc.).
7.
Secure the ceiling plate to the ceiling again (using the screws A from
step 2), turn the ceiling plate clockwise, then tighten the screws firmly.
• The camera should be mounted so that the arrow on the ceiling plate
faces the front of the camera.
8.
Pass the safety wire through the ceiling mounting cover as shown. Attach
the ceiling mounting cover by first aligning the “ ” mark on the camera and
cover, then turn the cover clockwise until the “ ” mark on the camera and
the “ ” mark on the cover are aligned as shown.
• Be careful not to nip the cable etc.
• When removing the ceiling mounting cover, move it in the
counterclockwise direction. Adjust both “ ” and let down the main unit.
• If you did not make a hole in the ceiling for the cables, remove the tab
on the ceiling mounting cover and pass the cables through the opening
as shown. The tab is divided into 3 sections; use a tool to cut and
remove the sections of the tab as needed depending on the number of
cables used.
9.
Secure the safety wire to the ceiling behind the camera using screw A
(included).
• Secure the safety wire to the ceiling about 110 mm (4 5/16 inches) from
the center of the ceiling plate.
• Do not drive the screw into a soft material. Drive the screw into a
secure, 25 mm (1 inch) thick area of the ceiling, such as a crossbeam,
otherwise the camera may fall. If there is no crossbeam, place a board
on the other side of the ceiling to make sure the camera is securely
mounted.
When mounting the camera on a concrete or mortar ceiling
1.
Place the ceiling plate against the ceiling and mark the points where you
are going to make holes.
2.
Make holes with an electric drill. Insert anchors (customer-provided) into
the holes and push them inside the holes with a hammer.
• Mortar ceilings break easily when drilling. Be careful of pieces of mortar
which may become loose and fall.
