INSTALLING THE MOUNT AND CAMERA:

The Drop Down Series of camera mounts can be mounted to either 2 foot square or 2’ by 4’ ceiling tiles, or a drywall ceiling. Note: When
locating the camera, consider viewing angles, lighting conditions, line of site obstructions and check for vibration where the camera is to be
mounted. Pick a location to optimize the performance of the camera. The integrator is responsible for following building codes, determining
the suitability of the suspended or drywall ceiling to carry the load of the camera and mount, as well as to make sure that the camera is
secured to the camera platform.
