8Installing the AutoDome Easy
This chapter details how to install the AutoDome Easy for an in-ceiling, wall, or pipe mount.
8.1Surface Mount
The mounting plate (included) is used for ceiling installation. The unit may be mounted to a
hard surface or to a suspended ceiling tile.
NOTICE! The image sensors in modern CCD cameras are highly sensitive and require special
care for proper performance and extended lifetime. Follow the guidelines for optimum results
with your camera:
•Do not expose to direct sunlight or bright spotlights in operating and nonoperating
i
conditions.
•Avoid bright lights in the field of view of the camera. Bright lights cause a "smearing"
effect, which is visible as white lines above and below the highlight. Prolonged exposure to bright lights may cause bleaching of the sensor's color filters. This will be visible as colored spots in the picture and is irreversible.
