Precautions for Preventing Access to the Camera by an Unintended Third Party
The camera settings may be changed by an
unintended third party on the network,
depending on the usage environment.
The camera can be fraudulently accessed in a
network environment where a device is
connected or connectable to the network
without the administrator’s permission, or where
a PC or other network device connected to the
network can be used without any permission.
After configuring the camera, immediately
change the password you use for upgrading the
firmware on the camera, from a Web browser on
your PC, and for changing settings. For how to
change password, see “Changing the Initial
Password” (page 53).

the camera securely. If the components are not
strong enough, the camera may fall and cause
serious injury.
• Always install the supplied wire rope to prevent
the camera from falling.
• If you install the camera 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.

Notes
• The connecting cables cannot be passed
through ceiling bracket (B). A hole for the
wiring is required in the ceiling at the back of
the camera where it is attached to the ceiling.
• The recommended tightening torque for each
screw are described in below.

How to install the camera
1 Attach the wire rope to the ceiling.
2 Attach the ceiling bracket (B) to the ceiling.
When attaching the ceiling bracket (B) to the
ceiling, it is recommended to fix at the 4
positions illustrated below.
There are elongated holes for the screws
along the rounded edges of the ceiling
bracket (B). Later, the front of the camera will
be positioned along this edge. Face the
camera to the front, adjust the aim, and
attach it securely.
1-2In the case that a wire cannot be attached
on the ceiling, attach the wire on the ceiling
bracket (B) as illustrated below with the
supplied screws (M3×8).
WARNING
Use the supplied screw. Otherwise, the wire
rope may not function properly.
3 Attach the ceiling bracket (A) to the bottom
of the camera using the 4 screws (M 3 × 8)
supplied.
Align the bracket holes with the screw holes
on the camera, and attach the bracket to the
camera.

ceiling bracket (B), and temporarily attach
them by pushing the ceiling bracket (A) to
the rear.
Notes
• Make sure no load is applied to the
connectors of the cables.
• For measures that prevent the HDMI cable
from being pulled out, proceed to “6-2”
after connecting the HDMI cable. Then,
connect all the other cables.
6-2To prevent the HDMI cable from coming off,
mount the HDMI cable fixing plate with the
supplied screw (single, M2.6 × 6, black) on
the back of the camera, then fix the HDMI
cable with a banding band etc.

Connecting the camera to a PoE+
(Power over Ethernet Plus) power
supply device
A PoE+ (IEEE802.3at compliant) power supply
device supplies power through a commercially
available network cable. For details, see the
operating instructions of the power supply
device.
Notes
• When you supply power from a PoE+ power
source, use a network cable of Category 5e or
higher.
• When both the AC adapter and PoE+ power
supply are connected, power is supplied
through the AC adapter.
• When power is supplied from PoE+, both the
POWER lamp (green) and NETWORK lamp
(green) flash until the initial verification process
is complete (approximately 1 minute,
depending on the power supply device).
• When the network camera is powered by a
PoE+ power supply, do not route the wiring
outdoors.
• If a non PoE+ compatible device is connected,
both the POWER lamp (green) and NETWORK
lamp (green) flash, and the camera won’t start.
• When you turn the power off, wait at least 10
seconds before you turn it on again.
• Use an STP (shielded) network cable.
