Pole Mount with Pendant Mount
Installation Procedures
The camera body and cables are waterproof. However, when using this type of installation
outdoors, you must take steps to waterproof the cable connections.
The bundled power adapter and power cord, approximately 200 cm in length, are not waterproof
and must be protected indoors. Therefore with this type of installation, it is recommended to use a
high PoE injector (purchased separately) to connect the camera to the power outlet and the
network.
Before installation, prepare the tools and equipment which are not supplied with the mounting
accessory:
Exterior-grade Ethernet Cables
High Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) Injector
Waterproof Tape
Step 1: Unpack the Camera
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. Loosen the four screws using the bundled Allen
wrench.

2. Carefully lift the camera cover and place it aside.
NOTE: The cover is attached to the camera by a
metallic wire; do not abruptly lift the cover.
3. Remove the outer and inner Styrofoam.

4. Attach the camera cover.
Align the cover screws to the screw holes on the
camera (as marked on the illustration) and secure the
screws using the bundled Allen wrench.

Installation Guide
Step 2: Attach the Pole Mount Kit
NOTE: Before installation, make sure the horizontal pole can bear more than the total weight of
the camera and the mounting accessories.
1. Using a screwdriver, turn the screw head of the wire strap counter-clockwise continuously
until the two ends are detached.
2. Insert the wire strap through the strap holes of the pole mount.
3. Do steps 1 and 2 to the other wire strap.
4. Encircle the pole with the wire straps.
NOTE: The wire straps can hold between 134 ~ 228 mm (5.28 ~ 9 in.) pole diameter.

Installation Guide
5. Continuously turn the screw head clockwise to adjust the wire strap until it snugly fits the pole.
Do the same to the other wire strap.
Step 3: Install the Straight Tube
Attach the straight tube onto the pole mount using the four (4) screws (included in the Pole Mount
Kit package).
Optional: Add Extension Tube(s)
If the straight tube is not long enough, add one or more extension tubes (purchased separately).
If more than one extension tubes will be used, use extension cables, like network cables (not
included in the package) to extend the length of the pre-installed camera cables. See How to
Install Extension Tubes on page 31.

Step 4: Install the Camera
1. Insert the camera cables through the straight tube, extension tube (if any), and through one
the side of the pole mount kit.
2. Align the slot on the camera to the tab inside the straight tube and insert the top of the
camera.
3. Twist the camera to align the screw holes and attach the two (2) mounting screws (included
in the camera package).
4. For I9x models, attach the safety wire strap for added protection; see How to Attach the
Safety Wire Strap (For I9x Models) on page 33.
5. Remove the plastic covering the dome cover.

For use with an exterior-grade Ethernet cable
(not included in the package).
See How to Waterproof the Cable Using
the Cable Gland on page 11.
For use with 1/2” flexible conduit (not included
in the package).
See How to Waterproof the Cable Using
the Conduit Gland on page 15.
Step 5: Connect the Cables
The camera itself is waterproof, however take note that the cable connections are not.
If the camera is mounted directly on the wall where the cables pass through the wall, then your
installation is complete and you do not need to waterproof the cable connections.
However, if the camera is mounted where the cables may be exposed then it is recommended to
waterproof the cable connections or use a junction box.
The camera comes with a Cable Gland and Conduit Gland. It is recommended to use one of
these glands when a high PoE injector will be used with the camera. However, if the bundled
power adapter will be used or digital input/output devices will be connected, it is recommended to
house the cables inside the junction box (see Pole Mount with Pendant Mount and Junction
Box Installation Procedures on page 19).
Determine the type of waterproof solution applicable to your installation environment
requirements and prepare the necessary accessories or purchase extra materials.
