Step3 Mount the camera to the attachment plate
Step5 Configure the network settings
There are 4 methods to install the camera to a ceiling or wall as described below. Prepare the
required parts for each installation method before starting the installation. The following are the
requirements for the various installation methods.
Installation method
Recommend-
ed screw
Minimum pull-
out strength
(per 1 pc.)
(1) Mount the camera on the two-gang junction box using
the attachment plate.
M4 screws x 4
196 N {44 lbf}
(2) Directly mount the camera onto the ceiling or wall us-
ing the attachment plate (when wiring can be installed
in the ceiling or wall).
M4 screws x 4
196 N {44 lbf}
(3) Mount the camera in the ceiling using WV-Q174B ceil-
ing mount brackets (approx. 280
g
{0.62 lbs}).*

(4) When mounting the camera on an insufficiently strong
ceiling using the WV-Q105 ceiling mount brackets (ap-
proximately 150
g
{0.33 lbs})*

*1 For information on mounting the camera using WV-Q174B or WV-Q105, refer to the In-
struction Manual provided with the WV-Q174B or WV-Q105.
*2 Make sure that the installed mount bracket can support more than 5 times of the weight of
the camera.
IMPORTANT:
● Procure 4 screws (M4) to secure the attachment plate (accessory) to a ceiling or a
wall.
● The minimum required pull-out capacity of a single screw or anchor bolt is 196 N
{44 lbf} or more when mounting with the installation method [1] and [2] above.
● When mounting the camera on a concrete ceiling, use an AY plug bolt (M4) for securing.
(Recommended tightening torque: 1.6 N·m {1.18 lbf·ft})
● Select screws according to the material of the ceiling that the camera will be mounted
to. In this case, wood screws and nails should not be used.
● If a ceiling board such as plaster board is too weak to support the total weight, the
area shall be sufficiently reinforced.
(2) Using the Attachment plate (accessory)
q
Loosen 2 enclosure fixing screws
of the enclosure.
When installing the camera directly on the ceil-
ing or wall with cables exposed, or when
mounting the camera using the ceiling mount
bracket WV-Q174B (option), cut out a portion of
the dome cover to open a cable access hole.
w
Remove the enclosure from the camera.
e
Connect cables to the camera according to the
instructions in “Making connections”, and temporar-
ily fix the camera by inserting attachment mounting
screws into the holes of the attachment plate.
r
Secure the camera using the
camera fixing screws.

Note:
● Loosen 2 enclosure fixing screws using
the bit (accessory).
Note:
● After cables have been connected to the camera, align the OPEN mark of the cam-
era side panel with the tab of the attachment plate, insert 2 attachment mounting
screws into the attachment plate, and rotate the camera by approximately 15°. The
LOCK mark is moved to the tab position of the attachment plate and the camera is
temporarily secured.
IMPORTANT:
● Disconnect either the 12 V DC power source or
PoE power source to prevent power from being
supplied during mounting work.
IMPORTANT:
● Be sure to tighten the camera fixing
screw. Failure to observe this may cause
camera trouble due to camera falling.
(Recommended tightening torque:
0.78 N·m {0.58 lbf·ft})
●
●
Do not remove the auxiliary wire.
