Adjustable Extension Mounting Bracket for CONCEAL

Overview:

The Adjustable Extension Wall Bracket for CONCEAL was
designed to allow the Vaddio CONCEAL Wall Mounting Systems
for the Vaddio HD-18, HD-19 and HD-20 PTZ HD Cameras to be
extended away from a wall, above or below a single wall
mounted LCD monitor or in-between two-wall mounted LCD
monitors. The aesthetic design of the Adjustable Extension Wall
Bracket for CONCEAL complements the WallVIEW HD-18, HD­19 and HD-20 Camera Systems and conceals all cabling,
connectors and mounting hardware.

The narrow extension arm design of the Adjustable Extension Wall Bracket for CONCEAL also allows two
monitors to be closely spaced together with the Vaddio Camera centered and mounted in front of the monitors.
This mounting application also allows the Vaddio Camera to be placed in the most effective vertical position for
“eye to eye” centering for video conferencing applications. The extension arm is infinitely adjustable anywhere
from four (4) inches to eight (8) inches in length from the wall (depending on type of wall mounting installation
selected) and provides an easily adjustable custom fit of the camera to the monitor.

Intended Use:

Before operating the device, please read the entire manual thoroughly. The mount was designed, built and tested
for use indoors and to support the weight, size and shape of the Vaddio HD-18, HD-19, HD-20 and HD-USB
cameras. The use of this mount for any other heavier device could damage that device and/or create a potentially
unsafe operating condition.

Mounting and Installation Instructions for the Adjustable Extension Wall Bracket for CONCEAL System:

 Step 1: Determine the Camera Mount Location:

When locating the camera, consider viewing angles, lighting conditions, possible line of site obstructions and
check for in-wall obstructions where the camera is to be mounted. Select a mounting location to optimize the
performance of the camera for your application. After determining the optimum location of the camera system,
route the required Cat-5e cables from the camera location to the head-end.

 Step 2: Determine the preferred Method of Wall Mounting:
For New Room Construction - Installation Option 1 (Allows the Adjustable Extension Bracket Arm to adjust

from 4” to 8” length):
For new construction, coordinate the installation of an electrical 2-Device Switch Box (Dimensions: 4” W x 4”H x
2-1/8” D) in the wall for the Adjustable Extension Wall Bracket for CONCEAL mounting location with the electrical
or general contractor.

 Fig 5: Remove a conduit knock-out on the bottom back side of the 2-Device Switch Box in order to make it

easier to feed excess Cat-5e cable back into the wall.

 Fig 6: The four (4) mounting holes closest to the Extension Bracket Base will align to the 2-Device Switch Box

threaded screw mounting tabs in the box.

Install the required three (3) Cat-5e cables into the 2-Device Switch Box. Provide (approx. 1.5ft.) cable length to
feed through the Extension Bracket to the Camera.

Fig.6: Screws attached to
the 2-Device Switch Box

Fig.5: Conduit knock-out removed

The four (4) mounting holes closest to the Extension Bracket Base are slotted (to allow leveling of the Extension
Bracket Base) and positioned to fit the 2-Device Switch Box. Use four (4) #6-32 X 1” Phillips Machine Screws
and four (4) Shoulder Washers to attach the Extension Bracket Base to the 2-Device Switch Box. Level the mount
and tighten the mounting screws. Use the two (2) Lower and two (2) Upper Set Screws to adjust and set the
desired length of the Extension Bracket Arm. (Use a 3/32” Hex Driver for the Upper and Lower Set Screws).

Hint: Adjust the Lower Set Screws first in order to keep the Adjustable Extension Bracket Arm level.

For Direct Drywall Mounting - Installation Option 2 (Allows Extension Bracket Arm to adjust from 4” to 8”
length):

 Fig 7: Place the Extension Bracket Base into the proper installation position on the drywall, be sure it is level.

Once into position and level, mark the center position in each of the four (4) slotted mounting holes on the
outer corners furthest away from the extension bracket.

Trace the inner rectangular hole in the Adjustable Extension Bracket Base onto the drywall. Remove the
Adjustable Extension Bracket Base from the wall. Use a small saw or knife to carefully remove the traced
rectangular hole from the drywall.

Loosen (just loosen, do not remove) the Upper and Lower Set Screws on the Extension Bracket Base to adjust
the Extension Bracket to the shortest length (4 inches). Insert the extension bracket through the drywall
rectangular opening and into the wall cavity to be sure it moves freely through the hole (to the minimum 4” bracket
length). If it does not move freely through the rectangular opening, remove the bracket from the wall and trim the
rectangular opening slightly larger. Retest the Extension bracket again to verify it moves freely into the

rectangular opening. Note: Use a variable speed power drill to insert the drywall anchors.

 Fig 8: Install the required three (3) Cat-5e cables and pull the cables through the rectangular drywall opening.

Provide enough cable to feed through the Extension Bracket Arm (approx. 1.5ft.)

Fig.7: The four (4) outside mounting
holes have been marked and the
rectangular center opening has been
traced and removed from the wall.
The four (4) drywall anchors have
been inserted into the wall.

Fig.8: The three Cat-5e cables
have been installed and pulled
through the rectangular opening

Fig.9: The three Cat-5e cables have been
pulled through the Adjustable Extension
Mount. The mount has been attached to
the wall anchors with four (4) #8 Screws.

 Fig 9: Note: The mounting holes are slotted to allow leveling of the Extension Bracket Base. Use four (4) #8

x 1.25” Screws to attach the Adjustable Extension Wall Bracket for CONCEAL System to the Drywall anchors.
Level the mount and tighten the mounting screws.

 Use the two (2) Lower and two (2) Upper Set Screws to adjust and set the desired length of the Extension

Bracket Arm.

For Existing Rooms please use Installation Option 2 - Direct drywall mounting method above.

Step 3: Attach the CONCEAL Wall Mount Bracket to the Extension Bracket Arm:

A. Pull the three (3) Cat-5e cables from the Adjustable Extension Bracket Arm through the rectangular opening

in the rear of the CONCEAL Wall Mount Bracket.

Bracket attached to the Adjustable
Extension Bracket Arm.

B. Attach the CONCEAL Wall Mount Bracket to the Adjustable Extension Bracket Arm with the four (4) Machine

Screws (black), four (4) Lock Washers (black) and four (4) Nuts (black) and tighten securely. Note: The
CONCEAL Wall Mount Bracket mounting holes are slotted to allow leveling of the bracket.

Step 4: Secure the Camera To the CONCEAL Wall Mount Bracket:

Please mark and test all Cat-5e cables prior to connection. Please do not connect to the camera
using the “guess/trial and error” method. Plugging the EZ POWER/VIDEO Cat. 5 Cable into the
wrong RJ-45 may cause damage to the camera and void the warranty!

A. Connect the (3) Cat-5e cables to the correct RJ-45 input connector on the WallVIEW Camera.

Note: Please! Before applying power to the camera, double-check each of the three RJ-45 connections to be sure

they are in the correct RJ-45 connector.

B. After all cables are attached to the camera, place the camera onto the camera mount and insert the two

provided 1/4”-20 x 3/8” screws into the camera through the two-screw holes in the bottom of the mount.

Note: Be sure to align each side of the camera evenly to all sides of the CONCEAL Wall Mount Bracket before

final tightening of the mounting screws (see Fig. 11).

Step 5: Install the CONCEAL Lower Cover Plate:

Attach lower CONCEAL Lower Cover Plate. Slide lower cover plate from front of the mounting bracket toward the
rear of the bracket. The two-rear locking tabs will need to be guided into position first and will lock in place as the
lower cover plate is pushed toward the rear of the mounting bracket and the front tabs are inserted (see Fig. 12).

be defective. Please see Vaddio’s Service Terms and Conditions at vaddio.com for specific details and policies.

Exclusions: The above warranty shall not apply to defects resulting from: improper or inadequate maintenance by the
