5.2 Canting the Camera
The MIC-550 features twist-lock on-site canting functionality. This allows the camera to be
installed upright (90°), inverted, or canted (45º) to achieve the perfect field of view. Installers
can adjust the camera from an upright position to a canted position if desired.
The following graphic shows the camera in both upright and canted positions.

(3); Side view, canted (4))
To cant the camera, follow these steps:
1. Firmly secure the camera base by the 4-inch PCD foot bolts.
2. Locate and remove the two (2) pan body fixing screws (identified by arrows in Figure 5.2
below). Once the screws have been loosened, lift them up and continue turning to lock
the screws open. Ensure not to damage the paint work on the camera.
