Three mounting methods are available, as shown here. Confirm which side 
is the top and bottom of the camera when mounting; do not mount the 
camera upside down. Consult an authorized dealer for mounting.
Caution

• Do not drive the screws into a soft material. Drive the screws into a 

secure area of the wall or ceiling, such as a column, otherwise the 
camera may fall and be damaged.

• Make sure you attach the safety wire when mounting the camera, to 

prevent the camera from falling.

• Use screws that are appropriate for the material of the wall or ceiling.
• The included screws are for use with wooden walls or ceilings only.

• The camera is intended for indoor use only and should not be mounted 

outdoors.

• To ensure that camera images are displayed properly, do not mount the 

camera on an incline. Mount the camera so that it is perpendicular to the 
floor. Do not mount the camera upside down.

• Mounting and cabling instructions described in this document follow 

generally accepted guidelines suitable for residential installations. In 
some areas, commercial and industrial installations are regulated by 
local or state ordinances. For such installations, contact your local 
building department or building inspector for more details.

• Camera images can be viewed in relatively dark areas, however, image 

quality decreases when viewing dark images. We recommend using 
supplemental lighting for best results.

• Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or halogen light may damage the 

camera’s image sensor. Mount the camera appropriately.

• When mounting the camera, make sure to wrap the AC adaptor cord (if 

used) and other cables (external microphone or speaker cable, video 
cable, etc.) around the hooks as shown to ensure secure connections.

Attach the camera by screwing the threaded mount into the stand 
mounting hole.

Adjust the camera position and tighten the flexible stand grip firmly.

Secure the safety wire to the ceiling or wall using screw B (included) 
and washer L (included).
• Leave some slack in the safety wire, as shown.
• Make sure the safety wire is firmly mounted on a beam of wood (25 

mm and greater) etc. When there is no beam, apply a board on the
other side of the ceiling or wall to make sure the camera does not drop.

Wiring through a hole made in the ceiling or wall
Make a hole for cables in the ceiling or wall.  Secure the safety wire to the 
camera and pass the cables through the notch. Then follow steps 4, 5, 6 

and 7.

• Prepare anchors for 4 mm  diameter screws for mounting.

Place the  flexible stand on the ceiling or wall where you plan to mount the
flexible stand and mark the points where you are going to make holes.

Make holes with an electric drill. Insert anchors (customer-provided) 
into the holes and push them inside the holes with the hammer.
• Mortar ceilings or walls break easily when drilling. Be careful of 

pieces of mortar which may become loose and fall.

Mount the flexible stand using the screws.
