Install Mounting Bracket

• You can install the mounting bracket on standard electrical boxes or directly on a secure, flush, and vibration-free surface.

To install the mounting bracket on a standard electrical box

Attach the bracket to the box using

• The holes in the mounting bracket, according to the types of boxes engraved on the bracket
• The corresponding holes in the box
• Suitable bolts, washers, and nuts (not included in the camera kit)

To install the mounting bracket directly on a surface:

• Choose four widely spaced mounting holes on the bracket for optimum flat surface mounting.
• Using the bracket as a template to mark the surface, drill four anchor holes.
• (Optional) If necessary, drill a hole wide enough for routing cables.
• Hammer the four plastic screw anchors into the drilled holes.
• Insert the anchors and then attach the bracket to the surface using the four M4 25mm self-tapping screws included in the camera kit.

When tightening the screws, the holes in the mounting plate allow for making small adjustments to the bracket’s position.

Route Cables and Connect the Camera

Cables can enter the camera from the side or from the rear.

To route cables through the side of the camera:

• Use the Torx wrench to loosen the screw securing the side conduit hole cover and remove the hole cover.
• Route cables through the hole.

To route cables through the rear of the camera

• Route cables through the hole in the mounting bracket.

To route cables into the camera base

• For each cable, use the Torx wrench to punch a hole in the center of the rubber glands in the camera’s base, from the underside.
• Route the cable through the hole in the grommet.
• Push the cables back through the seal so that the seal extends out of the base.

According to the information in 4 Connect the Camera, connect the camera.
