Preface
This ceiling mount bracket is exclusively designed to mount the network camera on a ceiling. Refer
to the catalog or the installation guide of the camera for supported cameras.
This bracket can be used for an area with weak pull-out strength such as plasterboard in a double
ceiling.
This bracket is an embedded type to reduce the exposed portion of the camera body.
• WV-Q159C: Clear dome cover
• WV-Q159S: Smoked dome cover (approx. 50 % of transmittance)

Precaution for installation
In order to prevent injury, the product must be securely mounted to a ceiling according to
Installation Guide.
This product is designed to be used indoors. This product is not oper-
able outdoors.
• Consult the dealer about the installation area to select a strong ceiling area. Make sure that the
installation area is strong enough to hold the total weight of the camera assembly (approx.
1.9kg {4.2 lbs.}) before installation.
• The installation area shall have 180 mm {7-1/8 inches} or more space behind the ceiling.
180 mm {7-1/8 inches}
or more
Ceiling board: between 9 mm {3/8 inches} and
40 mm {1-9/16 inches}
• The thickness of the ceiling board for installation can range between 9 mm {3/8 inches} and
40mm {1-9/16 inches}.
• Do not place this product in the following places.
• Locations where a chemical agent is used such as a swimming pool
• Locations subject to moisture or oil smoke such as a kitchen
• Locations that have a specific environment that is subject to an inflammable atmosphere or
solvents
• Locations where a radiation, an X-ray, a strong radio wave or a strong magnetic field is gen-
erated
• Locations near coasts directly subjected to sea breezes, or locations subject to corrosive
gases such as from hot springs, volcanic regions, etc.
• Locations where the temperature is not within –10 °C - +50 °C {14 °F - 122 °F}.
• Locations subject to vibrations, such as on vehicles, marine vessels, or above product lines
(This product is not designed for on-vehicle use.)
• Locations where it may get wet from rain or water splash (including under the eaves, etc.)
• Locations subject to moisture or dust
• Locations subject to condensation as the result of severe changes in temperature (In case of
installing the product in such locations, the front cover may become foggy or condensation
may be caused on the cover.)
• The screws and bolts must be tightened with an appropriate tightening torque according to the
material and strength of the installation area. After tightening the screws or bolts, perform visual
check to ensure tightening is enough and there is no backlash.
• The pull-out strength of the installation area shall be 196 N {
44 lbf} or more per 1 screw.

Note: If there is already an anchor bolt installed, it can be used as an anchor bolt for the safety
wire. Make sure that the distance between the anchor bolt for the mounting base and the
anchor bolt for the safety wire is 1 m {3.28 feet}or less before use.
3. Put Template A (accessory) against
the ceiling and make a hole.
q Make 4 holes of 12 mm {1/2 inches} in
diameter.
w Remove the center part from the tem-
plate.
e Make a hole of 160 mm {6-5/16
inches} in diameter.
* The hole shape is shown below.

5. Mount the safety wire angle (accessory) on the anchor bolt for the safety wire and
connect the safety wire (accessory) to the angle.
q Disconnect the safety wire from the
safety wire angle.
w Engage the face marked q with the
anchor bolt.
e Bend the face marked w.
r Connect the safety wire to the safety
wire angle again.
Note: To use the anchor bolt that was already installed, the use of 2 spacer nuts is helpful.

8. Secure the mounting base to the ceil-
ing board with the ceiling board fixing
screws (4 positions).
q Engage the top of the mounting base
with the
anchor bolt for the mounting
base
.
w Secure the mounting base by turning
the ceiling board fixing screws clock-
wise.
Turning the ceiling board fixing screws
clockwise provides ceiling board tight-
ening between the bottom of the
mounting base and ceiling board fixing
bracket resulting in mounting base
securing.
(Recommended tigtening torque:
0.78N·m {
0.58 lbf·ft}
e Secure the top of the mounting base
with double nuts.
Important: When securing this bracket on
the ceiling, make sure that the four ceil-
ing board fixing brackets are open as
shown in the figure.
9. Prepare the cables.
Run the cables from the cable inlet.
Important: The cables shall be run from
the opposite side of the mark, FRONT.
Failure to observe this makes the cables
unconnectable since the camera faces
the opposite side.

10. Install the inner cover.
Slide the covers located on the both lateral
sides of the camera and put the inner
cover on the camera until the hooks inside
the inner cover are held in the holes of the
camera (until a click is heard).
Important: Put the inner cover down on
the camera until the outside cover of
the camera cannot be seen from the
opening (from which the camera lens is
visible) of the inner cover. If this integra-
tion is not successfully performed, the
inner cover may be removed or the hid-
den part at the top of the screen may
become larger in the WIDE mode.
How to remove the inner cover
Press the inner cover from the front and
rear sides inward (at the same vertical
position as the hooks) to bend the cover
and remove the cover from the camera.

11. Mount the camera on the camera
mounting plate.
q Put the camera onto the camera
mounting plate with aligning the lock
plate of the camera with the guide of
the camera mounting plate and aligning

camera fixing screw (supplied with the
camera).
(Recommended tightening torque:
0.68 N·m {
0.58 lbf·ft})
Important: Be sure to mount the camera
with holding the stationary portion of the
camera. Camera mounting with holding
the rotating portion of the camera may
cause trouble.
12. Connect the safety wire to the camera.
q Connect the safety wire locked on the
mounting base to the camera.
Make sure that the apical ring of the
safety wire is engaged with the safety
wire hook of the camera by pulling the
safety wire after connection.

1.18 lbf·ft})
Important: Do not let the cables be caught
during installation work.
15. Mount the decorative cover.

17. Remove the protection sheet from the
dome cover.
Remove the cover film from the dome
cover after the installation is completed.
Note: When the camera lens is pointed in
the horizontal direction, the inner cover
interferes with the camera's view, and
consequently about upper half of the
monitor screen is hidden in the WIDE
mode.
