2.3 Installation instructions

1. Separate the base from the rest of the camera assembly by
unscrewing the housing bezel.

Removal of housing bezel

2. Determine where the camera will be mounted.

3. Using the base as a template, mark the location of the four
mounting screw holes.

4. Drill mounting screw holes into the mounting surface.

a. If the mounting surface is a soft material, such as a drywall,

use a 3/16" bit to drill the mounting holes. Use a hammer to
tap the wall inserts provided into each hole until they are  ush
with the surface.

b. If the mounting surface is a very soft material, such as ceiling

tile, place a wood block behind the tile. Screws longer than 1"
may be required. Drill holes for the mounting screws through
the surface and into the wood block.

OR

c. If mounting the camera on a harder surface, such as wood,

drill the mounting screw holes with a 3/32" bit.

5. Determine the cable routing. If the cable is to be routed through
a hole in the mounting location within the coverage of the base,
perform the following steps. If the cable will be routed through a
cable guide in the base, skip to step 9.

SECTION 4

Cleaning

Clean the camera lens and IR lamp shield with an approved glass
cleaning solution and a lint free cloth.

• Dust can be removed from the unit by wiping it with a soft damp

cloth. To remove stains, gently rub the surface with a soft cloth
moistened with a mild detergent solution, then rinse and dry it with
a soft cloth.

• Remove all foreign particles, such as plastic or rubber materials,

attached to the camera housing. These may cause damage to the
surface over time.

Do not use benzene, thinner or other chemical
