NOTE

•  Check for reception strength and camera angle 

before drilling the holes.

1.  Place the wall mount bracket on a wall and 

then use a pencil to mark the top and the 

bottom holes as shown. Remove the wall 

mount bracket and drill two holes in the wall 

(7/32 inch drill bit).

2.  If you drill the holes into a stud, go to step 3.

-OR-

If you drill the holes into an object other than 

a stud, insert the wall anchors into the holes. 

Tap gently on the ends with a hammer until 

the wall anchors are flush with the wall.

3.  Align the wall mount bracket and screws 

with the holes in the wall as shown. Tighten 

the screw in the middle hole first, so that the
