Warning!
THE CAMERA MUST BE MOUNTED DIRECTLY AND PERMANENTLY TO A NON-COMBUSTIBLE
SURFACE.
Warning!
Risk of bodily injury
Do not put a canted (35°) camera in an upright position on the camera base or on an
unsecured DCA. In this position, the camera can fall over and can cause injury or be damaged.
Put the canted camera on its side until installation.
– Do not open the camera unit. Doing so will invalidate the warranty.
– Use common-sense safety precautions, especially in situations where there could be risk
of injury if any part of the assembly becomes detached and falls. Bosch recommends
using the hinged DCA, which allows installers to “hang” the MIC camera temporarily on
the DCA to make electrical connections, before bolting the camera to the DCA.
– Ensure that the unit case is properly earthed. If the product is at risk of being struck by
lightning, ensure that earth bonding connections are made correctly to the mounting of
the base of the unit.

– Before transporting, supply power to the camera and rotate the camera head so that the
window points toward the base. This position of the camera head will help to protect the
wiper and the window during transit.
– Make sure that the installation conditions comply with the specified stresses of vibration
and shock as mentioned in the datasheet.
Warning!
Do not manually back drive the camera
The motor/gear head combinations used in the MIC cameras were designed to provide
smooth pan/tilt movement of the camera during powered operation. The gear heads were not
specifically designed to be manually “back-driven” under any circumstance.
Although it might be possible to do so on unpowered units, there is no guarantee that “backdriving” will be possible on every unit. Some units may even enter a “locked-up” mechanical
state.
If the camera becomes “locked-up,” simply apply power to the camera. The pan/tilt functions
of the camera should now operate properly.
Warning!
Moving parts!
Moving parts may result in risk of injury, therefore, the device should be mounted so that it is
accessible only to the technician/installer.
Notice!
Risk of injury or damage
To prevent injury to your hands or damage to the wiper, do not touch the wiper with your
hands, especially when the wiper is moving.
Notice!
Always use a shielded twisted pair (STP) connection cable and a shielded RJ45 network cable
connector where the camera is used outdoors or the network cable is routed outdoors.
Always use shielded cables/connectors in demanding indoor electrical environments where
the network cable is located in parallel with electrical mains supply cables, or where large
inductive loads such as motors or contactors are near the camera or its cable.
Notice!
Bosch recommends the use of surge/lightning protection devices (sourced locally) to protect
network and power cables and the camera installation site. Refer to NFPA 780, Class 1 & 2,
UL96A, or the equivalent code appropriate for your country/region, and to local building
codes. Refer also to the installation instructions of each device (surge protector where the
cable enters the building, midspan, and camera).
Notice!

1.6 Important Notices - Illumination Safety
The text in this section applies only to cameras which have the optional illuminator accessory.
Notice!
This product has been tested according to standard IEC62471:2006 “Photobiological safety
of lamps and lamp systems”. The product emissions exceed the EXEMPT Group limit for both
Retinal Blue Light and Cornea/Lens infrared hazard as defined by IEC 62471:2006. The
product was found to meet the Risk Group 1 exposure limits for IR and White LEDs.
The IEC 62471 provides the methods to determine the risk group of any lamp or any product
incorporating a lamp. The risk groups in IEC 62471 indicate the degree of risk from potential
optical radiation hazards. The risk groups were developed based upon decades of lamp use
experience and the analysis of accidental injuries related to optical radiation emission.
EXEMPT Group – no optical hazard is considered reasonably foreseeable, even for
continuous, unrestricted use. Typical examples are most frosted incandescent lamps and
fluorescent lamps used in domestic applications.
Risk Group 1 – products are safe for most use applications, except for very prolonged
exposures where direct ocular exposures may be expected. An example of Risk Group 1 is a
domestic battery operated torch (flashlight).
Exposure Hazard Value (EHV) is a ratio of the Exposure Level (distance, exposure time) to
Exposure Limit Value (ELV). When EHV is greater than 1, the device has exceeded the
Exposure Limit Values for a particular Risk Group. The ELV is the level where optical radiation
to the eye or skin is not expected to result in adverse biological effects.
The Hazard Distance (HD) is the distance from the source at which the Exposure Level equals
the appropriate ELV. In other words, when EHV=1 for a particular Risk Group.
Regarding the Cornea / Lens infrared hazard of this product, the Exposure Hazard Value (EHV)
at a test distance of 200mm is 2.19 based on EXEMPT Group exposure limits. The EHV based
on Risk Group 1 limits is 0.386. The HD for the Exempt Group is 297 mm.
Regarding the Retinal Blue Light hazard, the EHV is 22.9 based on the EXEMPT Group
exposure limits and a test distance of 200 mm. The EHV based on Risk Group 1 limits is 0.266.
The HD for the Exempt Group is 2675 mm.
These values have been summarized in the table below:

5 Mounting
5.1 Mounting Location and Orientation Options
Bosch designed MIC IP 7100i cameras for use in outdoor applications. In an enclosed
installation area (for example, in a foundry, near a furnace, etc.), temperatures outside of the
camera might exceed +65°C (+149°F). If you install a camera in an enclosed area, make sure
that the operating temperature of the camera is a maximum of +60°C (+140°F). Make sure
that air circulates around the camera to supply cooling.
MIC cameras are designed for easy installation in various locations such as directly onto
buildings and poles suitable to support CCTV equipment.
Select a secure installation location and mounting orientation for the device. Ideally, this is a
location where the device cannot be interfered with either intentionally or accidentally.
Select a location where the MIC camera will not touch materials such as steel straps or cables.
You can install the camera:
– onto a MIC-DCA or a MIC wall mount (MIC-WMB) with a MIC shallow conduit adapter
(MIC-SCA). (Never install the wall mount only.)
or
– directly to a mounting surface using the supplied base gasket and the appropriate
connector kit (sold separately):
– MIC-9K-IP67-5PK (IP67 Connector kit for MIC IP fusion 9000i, MIC IP ultra 7100i, and
MIC IP starlight 7100i cameras)
To have an installation rated IP67, you must use the appropriate IP67 Connector Kit from
Bosch.
Confirm that no residual water or moisture is in the bottom of camera. Ground the camera as
described in the chapter “Installing a MIC Camera on a Hinged DCA.”
You can install the camera in one of three orientations:
– upright (straight up, 90°)
– inverted (straight down, 90°)
– canted upright (tilted forward 35°)
The most common type of mounting location is the top of a pole suitable to support CCTV
equipment and that provides a robust mounting platform to minimize camera motion and
typically has a large base cabinet for mounting ancillary equipment such as power supplies.
Other locations for mounting the camera include the top of a building, the side (wall) of a
building, the corner of a building, and under the eave of a building.
The camera can also be mounted on the side of a lamp post, pole, or similar column using the
Pole Mount Bracket (MIC-PMB). Be aware that lamp posts can often be subject to movement
and are not suitable platforms in all conditions or for all applications.

Isolate shielded CAT5e or CAT6 cable from any high voltage power lines in a separate
grounded, metal conduit. Refer to the datasheet for test conditions for allowable transients /
voltage fluctuations.
Mounting surface recommendations for MIC mounting accessories
The mounting surface should be capable of supporting the combined weight of the MIC
camera + MIC Illuminator + MIC mounting accessory (DCA, wall mount, corner bracket, etc.).
All expected conditions of load, vibration and temperature should be considered when
planning an installation. The material should accommodate a minimum pull-out strength of 275
kg (600 lb).
The mounting accessory should be secured to one of the following surfaces:
– Concrete (solid / cast)
– Concrete masonry unit (concrete block)
– Brick (all types)
– Metal (steel / aluminum, minimum 3 mm (0.125 in.) thick)
In all situations, Bosch recommends referencing any applicable building codes or professional
structural engineering guidelines for a secure installation.
4 Ensure that the selected mounting surface is capable of supporting the combined weight
of the camera and mounting hardware (sold separately) under all expected conditions of
load, vibration, wind, and temperature.
Caution!
Risk of lightning strikes
If the camera is installed in a highly exposed location where lightning strikes may occur, then
Bosch recommends installing a separate lightning conductor within 0.5 m (1.6 ft) of the
camera and at least 1.5 m (4.9 ft) higher than the camera. A good earth bonding connection
to the camera housing itself will provide protection against damage from secondary strikes.
The camera housing itself is constructed to cope with secondary strikes. If the correct
lightning protection is applied, then no damage to the internal electronics or camera should
result.
Installation in a damp environment (for example, near a coastline)
The fasteners and fixtures shipped with the camera help to keep the camera secure. Always
use Bosch-supplied screws and other fasteners when installing or performing maintenance on
the camera. Bosch-supplied hardware is properly treated and engineered for safe use with
your MIC camera.
The camera head has three (3) plastic screws, factory-installed, around each IR port to
prevent corrosion in units that do not have accessories installed on the camera head. If you
install a sunshield or an illuminator accessory, you must remove the plastic screws and
replace them with the metal screws that ship with each accessory.
Before installation, and periodically, inspect the metal parts of the camera for paint that is
chipped or otherwise damaged. If you notice any paint damage, return the unit for a
replacement.
Avoid installation practices that may bring the camera’s metal mountings in contact with
materials such as stainless steel. Such contacts can result in galvanic corrosion and degrade
the cosmetic appearance of the camera. These cosmetic damages caused by improper
installation are not covered by warranty as they do not affect the functionality of the camera.

MIC cameras are designed to be mounted upright (straight up, 90°), inverted (straight down,
90°), or canted upright (ball up, 35°). The tilt limits for the canted unit prevent it from working
properly if mounted ball down. See the figures below for illustrations of the correct and the
incorrect mounting orientations of MIC cameras.

5.3 Mounting Bracket Options
Bosch sells a complete series of mounting brackets that support multiple mounting
configurations.
Always use only Bosch-supplied mounts, which are designed for safe installation of your MIC
camera.
Refer to the MIC Series Mounting Brackets Installation Guide for complete installation
instructions.
Mounting hardware recommendations for MIC mounting accessories
Fasteners are not supplied with the MIC mounting accessories for attachment to the mounting
surface. The type of fastener necessary is dependent on the mounting surface.
Fasteners can include wedge anchors, sleeve anchors, single expansion anchors, double
expansion anchors, machine screws or ‘Thru-Bolting’ with a nut.
Fasteners are to be of a structural grade (ISO Class 10.9, SAE Grade 8) and zinc plated for
moderate corrosion resistance. When installed in marine or similarly corrosive environments,
stainless hardware (A2-800, A4-800) is recommended.
Fasteners are to be a minimum diameter of 8 mm (0.3125 in.).
All bolts must extend through the mounting surface and be secured with a flat washer, lock
washer and nut. All studs must be anchored to concrete or welded to a steel backing plate.
In all situations, Bosch recommends referencing any applicable building codes or professional
structural engineering guidelines for a secure installation.
Deep Conduit Adapter
The hinged DCA is well-suited to installations on top of a pole.
Wall Mount
Figure5.2: Typical Wall mount configuration
Note: Always install an SCA when you install a wall mount for any installation configuration.
Route cables through the bottom of the SCA (to prevent water from running into the side or
top of the SCA along the cables).
Pole Mount
The figure below identifies the three mounting accessories (each sold separately) that are
necessary to mount the MIC camera on the side of a pole.
Note: The figure identifies the part numbers, as well as the codes for the available colors (-BD
for black, -WD for white, and -MG for grey) of each mounting accessory.
