Screw Anchors (Qty. 2)   Self-Tapping Screws (Qty. 2)  Machine Screws (Qty. 2)

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. For more details, visit ui.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.

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.
