SurroundVideo®!Omni!In$ceiling!Mount

Installation

1. The SurroundVideo® Omni camera has been designed to provide installers with flexible
mounting options such as ceilings, walls, poles or corners. Determine a secure location to
mount the camera.

2. Use the supplied security L-key, to remove the four (4) screws securing the dome cover. The
bubble and four (4) securing screws will be used on the SO-FMA. The camera trim ring is no
longer required and can be discarded or saved for future use.

!

NOTE: When mounting the camera outdoors or in a wet environment, use of supplied rubber gasket is
recommended. Ensure the three holes on the top of the housing are aligned with the gasket and it is
properly seated flush with the camera housing.

Ensure you have the proper compatible mounting parts prior to starting your installation:

NOTE: It is recommended to conduct periodic inspections of the installation. Rust on the metal
parts or screws may result in damage to the camera.

In-ceiling Mount

To properly flush mount the SurroundVideo® Omni to a drop ceiling or similar surface, a flush mount
adapter kit (SO-FMA) is required (sold separately).

1. Cut a hole in the ceiling using the template provided.

2. Insert the Flange Plate brackets from the SO-FMA into the ceiling hole. The lip of the plate
should be flush with the ceiling.

Figure 1: Insert the Flange Plate brackets via the SO-FMA into the ceiling hole

3. Screw the 3 screws into the ceiling. Continue to tighten the screws until the flush mount is
snuggly installed. The “Support Arm” will ride down the screw to compress the mounting
surface. NOTE: Do not over-torque the lever screws.
