4. Connect the cabling, use the Ethernet connection to open a web console. Adjust the camera's shooting angle, focus, and zoom. When done, install the dome cover.

You can also use the adaptor bracket to mount the FD series cameras to the AM-518 adaptor, and then to a wall mount bracket, or even to a pendant pipe.

For details using the AM-518 adaptor, please refer to its Installation Guide.

To attach the adaptor, align the slotted openings on the bracket with the mounting holes that come without alphabetic marks on the AM-518 adaptor, and drive screws through it. You may then install cameras to the

bracket.
