Deciding the Installation Location of the Camera
After deciding the direction in which the camera will shoot, make the required
hole (ø 50 mm (2 inches)) for the connecting cables using the supplied template.
Then decide the two or four mounting hole positions to install the bracket.
Mounting screws
The supplied bracket is provided with ø 4.5 mm (3/16 inch) mounting holes. Install
the bracket on a ceiling or wall with screws through two or four mounting holes:
two 83.5 mm (3 9/32 inches)-pitched holes or four 85.7 mm (3 3/8 inches)-pitched
holes. The required mounting screws differ depending on the installation location
and its material. Use commercially-available screws.
Steel wall or ceiling: Use M4 bolts and nuts. (Hexagon head bolt should not be
used.)
Wooden wall or ceiling: Use M4 tapping screws. The panel thickness must be
15 mm (5/8 inch) or more.
Concrete wall: Use anchors, bolts and plugs suitable for concrete walls. (Head
shape of M4 bolt: Pan head screw or hexagon head bolt should not be used.)
Junction box: Use screws to match the holes on the junction box. (Head shape
of screw: ø 7 mm (9/32 inch) Height 4 mm (3/16 inch) or less)
WARNING
The required mounting screws differ depending on the installation location and
its material. If you do not secure the camera with the appropriate mounting
screws, the camera may fall off.

Installation
WARNING
If you attach the camera in the height such as the wall or the ceiling, etc.,
ˎ
entrust the installation to an experienced contractor or installer.
If you install the camera on the ceiling, ensure that the ceiling is strong
ˎ
enough to withstand the weight of the camera plus the bracket and then
install the camera securely. If the ceiling is not strong enough, the camera may
fall and cause serious injury.
To prevent the camera from falling, make sure to attach the supplied wire
ˎ
rope.
If you attach the camera to the ceiling, check periodically, at least once a year,
ˎ
to ensure that the connection has not loosened. If conditions warrant, make
this periodic check more frequently.

Notes
When you adjust the camera head angle without loosening camera head ˎ
fixing screw, an internal part may be damaged.
Be sure to turn off the setting of superimposing when adjusting the focus. ˎ
If you cannot achieve satisfactory focus with holding down the ZOOM/FOCUS ˎ
switch due to the shooting environment, slide the ZOOM/FOCUS switch level
to N/F to focus manually.
Poor focus may also be caused by the dome case assembly. Readjust the focus ˎ
using the system menu.
For details, refer to the User's Guide of the equipment.
Notes
When the dome casing is attached it may be visible in the monitor ˎ
depending on zoom and rotation. Also, distortion might be observed in
images shot outside the specified optical area.
Do not turn the tilt screw more than 360 degrees and pan screw more than ˎ
2-3 turns, as they may become loose and fall out.
