This chapter details how to mount the AutoDome Easy II to a
hard surface. The AutoDome Easy II is also suitable for wall
(Section 5 Installing a Wall Mount, page 23), recess
(Section 6 Installing a Recessed Mount, page 29), and pipe
mounting (Section 7 Installing a Pipe Mount, page 37). For
specific directions on mounting the unit, see the manual that
came with your mount.

NOTICE! Do not expose to direct sunlight or bright spotlights in
operating and nonoperating 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.
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.

5 Installing a Wall Mount

5.1 Description

This chapter details how to mount the AutoDome Easy II to a
wall. The AutoDome Easy II is also suitable for surface
(Section 4 Installing a Surface Mount, page 17), recess
(Section 6 Installing a Recessed Mount, page 29), and pipe
mounting (Section 7 Installing a Pipe Mount, page 37). For
specific directions on mounting the unit, see the manual that
came with your mount.

NOTICE! Do not expose to direct sunlight or bright spotlights in
operating and nonoperating 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.
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:

5.1.1 Additional Tools Required

– Appropriate straight slot screwdrivers
– No. 2 Phillips screwdriver
– Appropriate tool for cutting a hole in drywall or ceiling tile

(if applicable)

– T-10 Torx wrench
