Installation Requirements
•Pole-mounting: Two metal straps (not included)
•Shielded Category 5 (or above) cabling with drain wire should be used for all outdoor wired Ethernet connections and should
be grounded through the AC ground of the PoE.
We recommend that you protect your networks from harmful outdoor
environments and destructive ESD events with industrial grade, shielded Ethernet cable from Ubiquiti Networks. For more details, visit www.ubnt.com/toughcable
•Surge protection should be used for all outdoor installations. We recommend that you use two Ethernet Surge Protectors, model ETH-SP, one near the camera and the other at the entry point to the building. The ETH-SP will absorb power surges and safely discharge them into the ground.

Hardware Installation
The camera can be mounted on a wall, ceiling, or pole. Follow the appropriate steps for your installation:
Wall/Ceiling Mount
1.Remove the Mounting Base from the camera by turning the Tilt/Mount Ring counterclockwise.
2.Mark the mounting holes on the wall or ceiling.
Note: If you are running the cable along the wall or ceiling, position the Cable Slot towards the direction you want the cabling to run. For outdoor installations, position the Cable Slot downward.
3.Use a 7 mm (¼") drill bit to drill the mounting holes in the wall or ceiling.
Note: If you are running the Ethernet cable through the wall, cut a hole centered between the mounting holes that is large enough to feed the cable through.
4.Insert a Screw Anchor into each mounting hole.
5.If you are feeding the Ethernet cable through the wall or ceiling, do so now and feed it through the Mounting Base.
If not, feed the Ethernet cable through the Mounting Base and place the cable in the
Cable Slot.
IMPORTANT: If you are installing your camera outdoors, create a drip loop for the cable below the camera to prevent water ingress.
6.Fasten the Mounting Base to the wall or ceiling using two Self-Tapping Screws.
7.Remove the camera from the Adjustable Base by turning the Camera Ring in the direction shown.
8.Remove the Cable Gland from the
Adjustable Base.
9.Feed the Ethernet cable through the Cable Gland and Adjustable Base. Seal the Cable Gland in place by firmly pressing around its edges. Then connect the cable to the
Ethernet Port on the camera.
