Positioning and Mounting
The VIPcella series cameras have standard tripod mounts and are compatible
with regular photo tripods or security camera mounts. If you want to use a
tripod we recommend the very inexpensive QuantaRay / SunPak QSX2001,
which is available for under $25 from photo supply stores.
Indoor cameras:
The included desktop stand can also be used for wall or
ceiling mounting. For some angles you may need to loosen the main mounting
ring by turning the big flat screw on the back of the bracket with a coin, so that
the notch in the mounting ring allows the pin to point in the desired direction.
You can then tighten it again with the coin. Should any mounting position
require the image to be rotated 180 degrees (inverted), there is a setting for
that in the “camera setup” menu.
Outdoor cameras:
Before mounting, you should first become familiar with the
camera indoors. Once installed, cameras cannot be returned for refund.
Please note that the sunshade can be mounted in several positions depending
on your needs. If it extends forward it can do a better job reducing glare from
the sun as well as keeping the lens glass dry in light rain or snow. On the other
hand,
reflections of IR light from the underside of the sunshade would make
the entire picture appear foggy, so for maximum night vision range you
should either move the sun shade all the way back or remove it entirely.
In a typical scenario the camera is mounted to a wall with the supplied
adjustable mounting bracket. The bracket is usually attached to one of the 3
mounting points at the bottom of the camera. Additional mounting points are
usually covered with a removable white rubber plug. Do not try to remove the
silver colored disk at the bottom of the camera, that’s the microphone and any
attempt to remove it will destroy the microphone’s internal connection.
