Installing the
Camera
Place the camera on a flat surface.
If you have to place the camera on an
inclined surface, make sure that the
inclination is less than ±15 degrees to
guarantee pan/tilt performance, and take
measures to prevent it from falling.
Do not grasp the camera head when
carrying the camera.
Do not turn the camera head by hand.
Doing so may result in a camera
malfunction.
If you turn the camera head by hand
without DC 12 V connection, the lamps on
the front may light. This is not a
malfunction.
Attach a tripod to the screw hole used for
attaching a tripod on the bottom of the
camera.
The tripod must be set up on a flat surface
and its screws tightened firmly by hand.
Use a tripod with screws of the following
specifications.
Using the ceiling bracket, wire rope, and
screws, you can utilize existing junction
boxes, etc., to attach the camera to the
ceiling.
When you install the unit, always install it on
a level ceiling. If you have to install it on a
sloping or uneven ceiling, make sure that the
place where you install it is within ±15
degrees of the horizontal.
Entrust installation to an experienced
contractor or installer when installing the
unit on ceilings or other high locations.
When installing the unit in a high location,
be sure that the location and installation
components (excluding the supplied
accessories) are strong enough to
withstand at least 20 kg of weight, and
install the unit securely. If the components
are not strong enough, the unit may fall
and cause serious injury.
