• Do the wiring so that the network is not affected by
lightning.
Procure fixing screws separately.
The screws that mount the camera mount bracket (acces-
sory) and other brackets on a ceiling or a wall are not sup-
plied. Prepare them according to the material and strength
of the area where the product is to be installed.
<Installing the unit directly on a ceiling using the camera
mount bracket (accessory)>
• Required screws: M4 (4 pcs.)
• Minimum pull-out strength: 196 N {44 lbf} (per 1 pc.)
Screw tightening
• The screws and bolts must be tightened with an
appropriate tightening torque according to the materi-
al and strength of the installation area.
• Do not use an impact driver. Use of an impact driver
may damage the screws or cause tightening exces-
sively.
• When a screw is tightened, make the screw at a right
angle to the surface. After tightening the screws or
bolts, perform checks to ensure that the tightening is
sufficient enough so that there is no movement or
looseness.
Make sure to remove this product if it will no longer
be used.
