Installation and Connection
Installing the Camera
Notes
• Be sure to provide safety measures against falling
when you mount the camera.
• Do not grasp the camera head when carrying the
camera.
• Do not turn the camera head by hand. Doing so may
result in a camera malfunction.
Installing the camera on a desk
Installing the camera on a desk
Place the camera on a flat surface.
If you have to place the camera on an inclined surface,
make sure that the inclination is less than ±15 degrees to
guarantee pan/tilt performance, and take measures to
prevent it from falling.
Attaching the camera to a tripod
Screw the tripod screw into a tripod screw hole on the
bottom of the camera.
The tripod should be placed on a level surface, and
tighten the screw firmly by hand.
The tripod screw should be compliant with the following
standards.

/4 -20UNC
4 = 4.5 mm to 7 mm
4 = 0.18 to 0.27 inches
Caution
Installation of the camera using the tripod screws and
screw holes should not be done for installation on a
ceiling, shelf, or other high spot.
15
Page 16
Installing the camera at a high spot
The camera can be mounted on a ceiling or on a shelf or
stand located at a high spot using the supplied ceiling
bracket.
The surface on which the camera will be mounted
should be level. If you have to mount the camera on a
tilted surface, make sure that the angle is less than 15
degrees to ensure the camera can pan/tilt properly.
Caution
• When you want the camera to be mounted at a high
spot, such as on a ceiling, have a professional
contractor do the job.
• When you mount the camera at a high spot, make
sure the attachment materials to which the camera
will be mounted and the fittings (except for
accessories) are capable of supporting a weight of 60
kg or greater and that the installation is done
properly. If the installation is not strong enough, the
camera may fall, resulting in a serious injury.
