NOTE: Before you begin, be sure that there are no live electrical cables in the area
you wish to mount the camera.
To mount the camera:
After connecting the camera as described on page 8 and installing the cables as
shown on page 9, place it in the desired location. Then, using an appropriate screw
for the surface you’re fixing the dome to, screw the arm/bracket into place.
Ensure you have enough cable coming through the mounting arm/bracket to
connect it to your system. If you want to run the cables through a wall/ceiling, be
sure to drill a hole for the cable as well.
Placement Tips
For best results, carefully consider where you want to mount the dome. Whilst the
optimal placement solution will vary form application to application depending
on intent of installation, the environment of use and the lighting conditions
encountered there, there are a few points which are almost universal.
What you want to monitor:
The most obvious factor to consider when planning where to install your camera is
the question of what you wish to monitor, and how a movable PTZ system can be
incorporated into your specific environment.
Ensure that the camera is located close enough to what you want to monitor
•
to capture the required details. For example, if you wish to capture the details
of a face, the camera should be located within a dozen feet (about 4m) of
the subject. This is also true if trying to read printed information - such as a
vehicle’s registration plate.
Try to place the camera in an position that a potential security threat will find
•
it difficult to avoid.
A strategy which is often effective is to monitor entrances and exits - after all,
•
a security threat has to get in somewhere.
