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.

SECTION 2: INSTALLATION

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

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.

CAUTION

Do not use benzene, thinner or other chemical products on the
camera assembly; these may dissolve the paint and promote
damage of the surfaces. Before using any chemical product, read
the accompanying instructions carefully.
