Installation Procedures
This section describes the procedures in installing the camera directly on the wall with flat surface.
Prepare a screwdriver and network cable for this installation; no additional mounting accessories
are required. Before installation, make sure the wall can bear more than the weight of the
camera.
Step 1: Drill the Holes
Before drilling the holes on the wall, note the direction of the connectors side of the camera,
which is also the opposite side of the camera logo. This influences the camera placement and
where you should drill the hole where the cables will pass through or how the cables will go along
the wall.
1. Use the supplied drill template to mark the screw holes on the surface according to the
preferred orientation.
2. Determine how the cables will be routed: pass through the surface or along the surface.
If the cables will pass through the surface, drill the cable hole and the three (3)
screw holes on the surface.
If the cables will be routed along the surface, just drill the three (3) screw holes on
the surface.
3. Insert the plastic plugs into the screw holes.

Step 2: Open the Dome Cover
NOTE: To avoid scratches or leaving fingerprints on the dome cover, it is recommended to retain
the plastic covering the dome cover until the camera is completely installed.
1. With the bundled hex screwdriver, loosen the three (3) screws securing the dome cover.
2. Lift to remove the dome cover.
3. If the cables will be routed along the surface, remove the cable tab from the dome cover.
4. If the cables will pass through the surface, route and pull the cables through the hole on
the surface.

Step 3: Install the Camera to the Surface
1. If necessary, insert a memory card, with the metallic contacts facing down, into the card slot
of the camera.
2. Align the camera screw holes and the cable hole (if necessary) to the holes on the surface
and attach the three (3) supplied screws to secure the camera.
CAUTION: When using electric screwdrivers, be careful not to touch the camera
components while attaching the screws. Since electric screwdrivers vary in sizes, speed, and
force, they may bruise and damage the camera components.
DISCLAIMER: ACTi will not be responsible for camera damage caused by improper
installations or the misuse of equipment for installation.
