Introduction
The DCS-6315 HD Outdoor Fixed Dome Camera with Color Night Vision is a professional surveillance and security solution for
small, medium, and large enterprises. The DCS-6315 uses a 1.3 megapixel progressive scan CMOS sensor which produces high
quality images with low noise. This makes it ideal for surveillance applications. Since the DCS-6315 has Wide Dynamic Range
(WDR) enhancement, users can identify image details in both extremely bright and dark conditions.
The DCS-6315 has an IP68 certied weatherproof housing, designed for both indoor and outdoor use. The built-in removable
IR-cut lter and IR LEDs give the DCS-6315 the ability to view up to 15 meters (49 feet) at night. The camera supports Power over
Ethernet (PoE), allowing for easy installation, without the need for supplemental power cabling. This combination of features
makes the DCS-6315 a high-performance, reliable and cost-eective 24-hour megapixel surveillance solution.

Mounting the Camera
There are several methods for mounting the DCS-6315 to a
wall or ceiling:
• Mount Camera Directly to a Wall or Ceiling
• Attach Camera to Pendant Mount
• Attach Camera to Bent Mount

retaining screws, and then remove the top part of the camera
housing.
Step 2
Next you must use a screwdriver to remove the bottom
mounting plate from the lower half of the camera housing.
The mounting plate is secured with three screws positioned
around the outer edge of the lower part of the camera
housing.
If you will be mounting the camera directly to a wall or ceiling,
please continue to the next page.
If you will be mounting the camera using the pendant mount,
please refer to "Attaching the Camera to the Pendant Mount"
on page 18.
If you will be mounting the camera using the bent mount,

ceiling, you should leave the cable access part attached, as it
will help protect the cable from vandalism.
Step 4

plate and re-secure it. Make sure that the cable sheath extends
out of the base in a way that ensures the cable is not kinked
or twisted.
