Mounting the Bracket and the Camera

1. Using the included template as a guide, make a hole (φ 170 mm

[6 11/16 inches]) in the ceiling.

2. Drive an anchor bolt (not included) into the original ceiling and attach a
nut (not included) to the bolt.

• Drive the anchor bolt into the original ceiling directly above the center of

the hole made in step 1.

• The end of the anchor bolt should be 38 mm (1 1/2 inches) above the

bottom of the ceiling board.

• The bottom of the nut should be 52 mm (2 1/16 inches) above the

bottom of the ceiling board.

3. Secure the safety wire to the bracket using screw C (included).
(Recommended torque 0.2~0.4 N·m {2.039~4.079 kgf·cm})

4. Insert the bracket into the hole.

• The camera will face the direction indicated by the arrow on the bracket.

5. Tighten the 3 clamp screws (attached to the bracket) and secure the
bracket.

1 The clamps tighten as the screws are tightened.

(Recommended torque 0.2~0.4 N·m {2.039~4.079 kgf·cm})

7. Pass the necessary cables (AC adaptor, LAN, etc.) through the whole in
the dust protection sheet, and attach the sheet to the bracket slits in 3
places.

• The size of each slit is different. Match the size of the slits with the sheet

notches, and insert the sheet.

8. Secure the camera with the screw D (included with the camera) in 3
places.

• Do not drive the screws into a soft material. Drive the screws into a

secure, 25 mm (1 inch) thick area of the ceiling, such as a crossbeam,
otherwise the bracket and the camera may fall. If there is no
crossbeam, place a board on the other side of the ceiling to make sure
the bracket and the camera are securely mounted.

• Attach the safety wire in a position so that if the camera were to become
