【Type 3】Mount the camera onto the ceiling or wall using the Adapter box (accessory)

• The following explains an example of mounting the camera on a wall.

① Secure the adapter box to the wall.

• Drill pilot holes and a cable hole (see the illustration to the right for their dimensions). (Drill pilot holes only if making connections through the cable hole from the side.)
• Be sure to face “TOP” inside the adapter box upward.
• Use 4 screws (M5:locally procured) to directly secure the adapter box to the wall. Minimum pull-out strength: 724 N {163 lbf} (per 1 pc.)
• To install this product outdoors, be sure to waterproof the screws and cable pass holes.

② Temporarily secure the camera mount bracket and camera to the adapter box.

• Use the adapter box mounting screw (M4 × 35 mm {1- 3/8 inches}:accessory) for installing the camera to temporarily install the camera mount bracket to the left or right hinge of the adapter box so that it can be opened and closed.
• Secure the camera mount bracket with “⇧ TOP/FRONT” facing upward.
• When the wall is on one side or the other, install the adapter box to the hinge on the opposite side of the wall.
• Secure the camera mount bracket to the hinge of the adapter box using the following tightening torque. Recommended tightening torque: 0.78 N·m {0.58 lbf·ft}

Step2 Making connections

• Refer to the Important Information on the provided CD-ROM for details about each cable.

IMPORTANT:

• Turn off each system’s power supply (PoE hub or device to supply power to the camera) before making a connection.
• The 12 V DC power supply shall be insulated from the commercial AC power.

*【1】Connect an Ethernet cable (category 5e or better, straight) to RJ45 (female) network cable. The maximum cable length is 100 m {328 feet}.**

IMPORTANT:

• If the procedure for the RJ45 waterproof connector (accessory) part is not correctly followed, the waterproofing may be compromised. Do not install the camera where the RJ45 waterproof connector is exposed to constant rain or moisture.
• The external dimensions of the Ethernet cable are from ø5 mm {ø3/16 inches} to ø6.5 mm {ø1/4 inches}.

① First pass the Ethernet cable through the RJ45 waterproof connector cap (accessory) and then through the RJ45 waterproof connector cover (accessory). Next, use a specialized tool (locally procured) to crimp the RJ45 plug (locally procured) to the end of the Ethernet cable.

• Take care not to remove the rubber parts from inside the RJ45 waterproof connector cover.

② Insert the RJ45 plug into the RJ45 waterproof jack connected to the camera.
③ Connect the RJ45 waterproof connector cover to the RJ45 waterproof jack and then rotate the RJ45 waterproof connector cover until the “⇦” marks align.
④ Connect the RJ45 waterproof connector cap to the RJ45 waterproof connector cover and rotate the RJ45 waterproof connector cap until there is no gap between it and the RJ45 waterproof connector cover.
