Mounting and Aiming Video Analytics Cameras
When installing an Pelco IMF Fisheye video analytics camera, follow the listed mounting and aiming
recommendations to maximize the camera's analytics capabilities:
l The camera should be mounted on a ceiling and look down on the scene.
Video analytics are not currently supported when the IMF Fisheye camera is mounted on a wall and
looking horizontally at the scene.
l We recommend installing the camera above 2.74 m (9 feet).
l The camera should be installed parallel to the floor.
l The camera should be mounted to a stable surface to minimize the physical movement of the
camera after installation.
For more details, see Designing a Site for Video Analytics. The document is available on the Pelco
website.
Preparing the Cables
Before you connect the cables to the camera, you must prepare the cables for installation.
If the camera is installed outdoors, it is important that the cables be insulated against the weather. Provided
with the camera are two rubber grommets for waterproofing the required cables:
l Use the single-hole rubber grommet for installations using PoE power and require only the Ethernet
cable. For more information, see Preparing the Cables.
l Use the 3-hole rubber grommet for installations that require more than one cable. For more
information, see Preparing the Cables.
