NOTE:
1. The AM-522 is necessary when installing the AM-712 mounting cap to VIVOTEK's
standard mounting options such as AM-212 (wall mount bracket) and AM-221
(gooseneck).
The AM-522 features the mounting option for NPT pipes only.
2. Route cables before you secure the accessories to a wall.
3. For details on the cable connections with each camera, please refer to their Quick
Installation Guide.
For cabling and conguration details with each network camera, please refer to their
documentation.

When installing the mounting cap, take note that the orientation of the mounting cap can
affect the camera's shooting direction. You may need to disconnect the conduit box from
the NPT pipe, rotate, and re-install it for the best orientation.

2. You can route cables through other accessories before you install cameras to the base
plate.
3. Orient and install the camera to the base plate (to the side with printed characters).
4. Connect cables to the camera.
5. Install the base plate to the conduit box.
6. Proceed with initial setup such as enabling network access, focus tuning, or zooming.
When done, secure the outer dome cover.

III-2. Installing the Pendant Head and Pipe
3/4”pendent pipe
AM-522 adapter
AM-118 pendant head
3/4” female adapter
Below are the sample procedures using a pendant head and pendant pipe:
1. Determine a hard surface ceiling location, and use the alignment sticker to mark the
positions where holes will be drilled to secure the pendant head. Hammer the anchors
into the ceiling.
Note that mounting holes should be 10mm in diameter and 60mm deep. The included
screws are M6.2 x75mm.
2. Install an NPT or PT male thread pipe (length determined by installers) by turning it
clockwise to the pendant head, and secure the connection using an included 3mm hex
wrench.
NOTE:
This mount type applies to NPT pipes
only.
For NT pipes, xture on the other end
should be handled by users.

English
3. Route Ethernet cable and other wires through the pendant head. You may apply a 1
inch conduit.
Note that when routing Ethernet cables, please make sure you have tagged the cables
as PoE input (coming from a PoE switch), or PoE output (one that transmit data and
power to the next conduit box).
4. Secure the pendant head to ceiling by driving screws through its mounting holes.
Depending on the length of your cables, you may need the help from your colleague for
holding the components.
Pendant Head Cables

Connector side
1. Pull cables through the NPT pipes and then the conduit box.
2. Install the conduit box to the NPT pipe.
3. When done, install the PoE extender by driving 2 screws to the conduit box, its
connector side facing the inside of the box.
III-3. Installing the Conduit Box and PoE Extender
4. In a cascade topology, there should be 2 Ethernet cables in the pipe. One is used as
PoE input, the other as the out port to the next conduit box.
