4 About Installing the IP Dome

Installing the IP dome involves mounting it on a ceiling or wall and connecting it to
power, a network, and optional components.

Options for mounting the 252x Series IP dome include the following:

• Junction box mounting—You can mount the IP dome onto a pre-installed standard

4 x 4 inch (101.6 x 101.6 mm) junction box

• Conduit case mounting—Use this method with the provided conduit case in

situations where you cannot cut a hole through a surface for cables or where cables
run through a small hole in a surface

• Direct solid surface mounting—If the cables for the IP dome can pass through an

opening in a surface, you can mount the IP dome by attaching its base plate directly
to the surface

The IP dome requires a connection to a network via a a shielded twisted pair (STP)
category 5 or higher network cable. If this connection does not provide Power over
Ethernet (PoE), the IP dome also requires a power cable from a 12 VDC or 24 VAC
power adapter. The 12

VDC or 24 VAC source must be isolated from the ground

(floating output).

In addition, you can use the following optional devices with the 252x Series IP dome:

• External speaker

• External microphone

• Up to two external input devices and up to two external output devices

For detailed information about understanding, installing, configuring, operating,
administering, and troubleshooting the IP dome, see Cisco Video Surveillance IP
