Physical installation / mounting
At a minimum the camera needs a Cat5e or Cat6 network cable for data transmission to your router
or Sharx Security NVR. Power can be provided to the camera over the same cable using the PoE (power
over ethernet) feature, or the camera can be powered with a separately purchased 12 V DC or 24 V AC
power supply. You can use a network cable with pre-attached RJ45 connectors or you can attach your own.
For operation in very cold environments an optional 24 V AC power supply can be used to power
the camera and its built in thermostatically controlled heater. PoE or 12 V DC cannot power the heater.
Optionally, you can also connect cables for integration with a burglar alarm or specialized sensors
such as flood or freeze sensors, or an amplified microphone or speaker. Note: If the wire(s) are not going
into a hole in the ceiling or under an eave, you may want to consider wall monting using a Sharx Security
wall mount model HDB. See
www.sharxsecurity.com/pdf/hdb243.pdf
The camera can also be mounted directly to a ceiling or under an eave as shown below. In all cases the
camera must face downward for the pan/tilt/zoom to function as intended.
An easy-mount / quick-release bracket is included together with hardware. See illustration below:

The camera ships with a self-adhesive drilling / mounting template.
Yet another option is to mount the camera inside a recessed ceiling using a Sharx Security flush mount
model HCS. This hides the camera body in the ceiling with only the clear part of the dome sticking out, with
a trim ring to cover any gaps. This is typically used for retail stores, point of sale, and office environments.
