B Installation and Connection
Installing the Camera
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.
Notes
• 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.
Attaching the Camera to a Tripod
Attach a tripod to the screw hole used for
attaching a tripod on the bottom of the
camera.
The tripod must be set up on a flat surface
and its screws tightened firmly by hand.
Use a tripod with screws of the following
specifications.
4 = 4.5 to 7 mm
4 = 0.18 to 0.22 inches
Caution
Installation of the camera using the
tripod screws and screw holes should not
be done for installation on a ceiling or a
shelf, etc., in a high position.
Installing the Camera Using the M3 Fixing Screw Holes
Attach the camera using 3 M3 fixing screw
holes located on the bottom of the camera.
Attach the camera to a fitting with a flat
surface using M3 screws with the following
specifications.

Installing the unit on the ceiling
Using the ceiling bracket, wire rope, and
retaining screws supplied, you can utilize
existing junction boxes, etc., to attach the
camera to the ceiling.
When you install the unit, always install it on
a level ceiling. If you have to install it on a
sloping or uneven ceiling, make sure that the
place where you install it is within ±15
degrees of the horizontal.
CAUTION
• Entrust installation to an experienced
contractor or installer when installing the
unit on ceilings or other high locations.
• When installing the unit in a high location,
be sure that the location and installation
components (excluding the supplied
accessories) are strong enough to support
the unit and the mounting bracket, and
install the unit securely. If the components
are not strong enough, the unit may fall
and cause serious injury.
• Always install the supplied wire rope to
prevent the unit from falling.
• If you install the unit in a high location,
check periodically, at least once a year, to
ensure that the connection has not
loosened. If conditions warrant, make this
periodic check more frequently.
Installation
1 Set the IMAGE FLIP switch on the
rear panel to ON.
Notes
• Make sure that the BOTTOM switch is
set to the correct position. See “Setting
of the BOTTOM switches” (page 10).
• If you set the IMAGE FLIP switch to
ON after turning on the power, the
image will not be flipped. Turn the
power off once, then on again, and the
image will be flipped. It takes about 15
to 30 seconds to display the image.
• When you toggle the IMAGE FLIP
switch, the pre-set settings will all be
returned to the initial settings.
2 Attach the wire rope to the junction
box in the ceiling.
Use a screw hole and a screw (not
supplied) in the junction box to attach
the wire rope.

Installation and Connection
Before installation
After deciding the direction in which the
camera will shoot, make the required holes
for the junction box, and connecting cables.
Note
The connecting cables cannot be passed
through ceiling bracket (A). A hole for the
wiring is required in the ceiling at the back
of the unit where it is attached to the ceiling.
