• A smartphone or laptop
• A #2 Phillips screwdriver or power drill with a #2 Phillips driver bit

• 1⁄8 inch (3mm) drill bit for pilot holes
• A Cat5 or Cat6 ethernet cable with a .2-.25” outside diameter (5-6.5mm)

Mount
Mount the camera on a wall or ceiling. Try to keep the camera 8 to 10 feet above the ground.
For best night vision, avoid overhangs or obstructions. These may reflect the camera’s IR illumination and reduce the image clarity in night mode.
- To remove the mount plate, loosen the mount plate screws and twist the camera counter-clockwise. Lift the camera vertically off the base plate and set aside.
- Use the provided mounting template to mark wall mount holes. For a junction box mount, use the mounting template to determine the correct hole pattern.
Use the provided mounting template to mark wall mount holes. For a junction box mount, use the mounting template to determine the correct hole pattern.
For a solid material like wood or metal, drill 1⁄8 inch pilot holes. Drive mounting screws directly into the pilot holes.
For drywall, drill 1⁄8 inch holes. Insert plastic anchors into holes and drive mounting screws into anchors.
Cable gland Assembly
To seal the ethernet cable, disassemble the cable gland and feed the ethernet cable through the baseplate through-hole.
Place the rubber seal around the cable. Push the plastic collar firmly over
the rubber seal until it snaps into position.
Firmly insert the seal and collar assembly into the pass-through until it is
secured in position.
Place the metal nut over the rubber seal and engage the threads on the pass-
through.
Gently tighten down the metal nut by hand. You should still be able to move
the cable back and forth through the gland, but have enough resistance for it
to remain in place.
Firmly tighten using the provided wrench.
To secure the camera, place it over the mount plate screws and twist counter-
clockwise. Tighten the mount plate screws with a Phillips screwdriver.
Plug in the camera. The status LED will turn orange to indicate the camera has
power. The LED will turn blue to indicate the camera is active.
Adjust
Adjust your camera to the desired viewing angle.
Use the online stream to confirm image orientation.
Image can be flipped 180° online in Command.
Default image orientation is indicated by markings on the lens face. Video orientation is also adjustable from within the Verkada application.
Secure
Open and remove the desiccant pack from its outer pouch. Peel the backing from the double- sided tape on the desiccant pack. Place the pack directly on to the “Attach desiccant here” text on the interior camera shell.
To secure the camera, align the top shell security holes with the baseplate and place the top shell back into its original position. Tighten the security screws using the provided T10 security torx screwdriver.
