Initial Setup
Before installing the V25 Camera, you must first:
• Disassemble the camera.
• Set up the camera for mounting on a wall or a ceiling.
Disassembling the Camera
To disassemble the camera:
1. Use the security hex key provided to remove the three #6-32 x 3/8 in. machine
screws securing the V25 front plate and dome to the base (see Camera
Components). Set aside the screws.
2. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the two #6-32 x 1/4 in. machine screws

Wall Mount Setup
When the V25 Camera is mounted on a wall, the camera carrier can be adjusted to
pan and tilt.
Once you have disassembled the camera, prepare the camera for mounting on a
wall:
1. Use a pair of side-cutters to remove the perforated square in the gimbal
support bracket (see Wall Mount Setup). Discard this square. This allows full
motion of the camera gimbal.
2. Use a Phillips screwdriver and two #6-32 x 1/4 in. machine screws to attach
the camera gimbal and camera carrier to the modified gimbal support bracket.
The V25 Camera is now set up for mounting on the wall. Proceed to Installation on
page 6.

Ceiling Mount Setup
When the V25 Camera is mounted on the ceiling, the camera carrier can be
adjusted to rotate and tilt.
Once you have disassembled the camera, prepare the camera for mounting on a
ceiling:
1. Remove both arms from the gimbal support bracket by holding the end of the
arm and bending it back and forth until it breaks off (see Figure 3). Do not
remove the center square from the gimbal support bracket.
2. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the two #6-32 x 1/4 in. machine screws
that attach the camera carrier to the gimbal.
3. Use side-cutters to remove the two perforated arms of the gimbal.
4. Attach the gimbal to the gimbal support bracket (see Figure 3) using one #6-32
x 3/8 in. machine screw and a #6 nylon washer (provided). Tighten the screw.
Caution The nylon washer must be mounted between the gimbal
and the gimbal support bracket to allow the gimbal to
rotate clockwise without binding.
5. Use two #6-32 x 1/4 in. machine screws to attach the camera carrier to the
gimbal.
Caution Line-lock cameras have an electrically isolated camera
carrier to prevent ground loop problems. Ensure the nylon
bushings and insulating washers are installed as shown in
Figure 3.
The V25 Camera is now ready for mounting on a ceiling. Proceed to Installation on
page 6.
