4 Installation Overview
CAUTION!
Installation should be made by qualified service personnel and conform to the National Electrical Code and applicable local codes.
The MIC Series cameras are designed for easy installation on a variety of common fittings. The most common type of mount used is a dedicated CCTV camera pole where the camera is bolted directly to the top using industry-standard 4 in. (101.6 mm) fitting. This type of camera pole provides a robust mounting platform that minimizes camera motion and typically has a large base cabinet for mounting ancillary equipment such as power supplies.
The camera can also be mounted on lamp post columns using the Pole Mount Bracket (MIC­PMB); however, users should be aware that lamp posts can often be subject to movement and are not suitable platforms in all conditions or for all applications.
For mounting directly onto buildings, Bosch Security Systems manufactures a range of brackets suitable for all typical building installations for upright (90°), Inverted, or canted (45°) positions.
Figure 4.1 MIC camera mounting positions: Inverted, Upright, and Canted
The camera’s adaptability enables easy integration in a wide variety of mobile and re­deployable installations. These have included lifeboats and other surface/subsurface vessels, emergency service vehicles, highway agency vehicles, council/contractor parking enforcement vehicles, and crowd-control vehicles.

4.2 Mounting Positions
CAUTION!
The upright unit can be mounted either with the camera ball up or down. To get the picture the correct way for installation with the camera ball down, rotate the camera tilt axis 180°. For more information, see Section 6.6 Configuring the Camera for Inverted Operation, page 29. If the camera is mounted ball down, it is essential that the connector and base area of the camera are completely sealed from water ingress. Any water getting into the connector is liable to cause corrosion to the connector pins, leading to unreliable operation of the camera unit. To prevent water penetrating the composite cable connector threads, seal the 25 mm thread at final installation using PTFE tape. Alternately, a suitable sealant may be liberally applied to the thread prior to final tightening.
The MIC Series 550 cameras, if canted, are designed to be mounted upright (straight up, 90°), inverted (straight down, 90°), or canted upright (ball up, 45°). The tilt limits for the canted unit prevent it from working properly if mounted ball down. See the figure below for the correct ways to mount the camera.

5.4 Mounting the Camera
NOTICE!
Installation should be made by qualified service personnel and conform to the National Electrical Code and applicable local codes. Ensure a strong safety chain is used to secure the camera to prevent any danger of dropping the product during installation.
To mount a MIC Series camera, follow these steps:
1. Identify a secure location for the mount (supplied separately) and for the camera. Locate the mounting position so that the camera cannot be interfered with either intentionally or accidentally.
2. Ensure that the mounting surface is capable of supporting the combined weight of the camera and mounting hardware under all expected conditions of load, vibration, and temperature.
3. Fit the mounting brackets securely, observing all appropriate safety precautions and local building regulations.
4. Carefully lift the camera to the mounting point.
5. Attach the security attachment point to a safety chain (not supplied).
6. Attach the safety chain to a secure part of your mounting structure.

7. Connect the female cable 12-pin connector to the male plug in the base of the camera. Screw the cable connector sleeve onto the plug until it is firmly secured (approximately four (4) turns from the start of thread engagement).
8. Earth the camera using one of the securing supplied bolts. Only earth the camera at a single point to prevent earth loops and video distortion (hum bars), caused by electrical interference, from appearing on the camera picture in the control room. Please note the following: – The camera module and housing are electrically isolated so the housing should be
safety earthed regardless. The safety earth should be a bonding connection (for example, one of the securing bolts) to the camera’s outside case, and should be attached to the Earth terminal post on the PCD base of the camera.
– If dual earthing is unavoidable, then a video isolation transformer should be fitted
between the two earths.
– If the system is copper throughout and the camera pictures are fed back to the
control room coaxial copper cable, then the camera should be earthed only at the video termination point in the control room. In this case, the "Earth Link" on the PCB should be broken.
– If the video is transmitted back to the control room via some non-electrical
connecting medium (for example, fiber optic, radio, or microwave link), then the camera should be earthed at the transmitter point in the power supply unit. The PSU "Earth Link" may be used for this purpose.
9. Use M8 x 20 mm stainless steel nuts, bolts, and washers to secure the PCD base of the camera to the mounting bracket. An additional Nebar gasket or suitable silicone sealant can be used to ensure a water tight seal between the base and mounting surface. Tighten all bolts securely.
WARNING!
To prevent water from penetrating the composite cable connector threads, the 25 mm thread should be sealed at final installation using PTFE tape (not supplied). Alternatively, a suitable sealant may be liberally applied to the thread prior to final tightening.
WARNING!
If the camera is mounted ball down, it is essential that the connector and base area of the camera are completely sealed from water ingress. Any water getting into the connector is liable to cause corrosion to the connector pins, leading to unreliable operation of the camera unit.
10. Secure all cabling and conduit.
11. For IR models, remove the protective film from the window of each illuminator lamp.
5.5 Lightning Protection
If the camera is positioned in a highly exposed area where lightning strikes may occur, it is recommended to install a lightning conductor within 0.5 m of the camera and at least 1.5 m higher than the camera. The construction of the housing itself is capable of coping with secondary strikes. If the correct lightning protection is applied, no damage to the internal electronics or camera should result. Additionally, an earth bonding connection to the case provides protection against damage from secondary strikes.
