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 remove the mounting cap, rotate,
and re-install it for the best orientation. Use the hex wrench to tighten its retention hex
socket screw when done.

Note that for cameras that come with cable glands, e.g., FD8134 and FD8134V, it can be
tricky passing them through a 3/4" pendant pipe.

From local network
1. You can pass the cable gland and other
wires into or through the pendant pipe, while
leaving the RJ-45 connector behind.
2. Route another Ethernet cable from the
local network through the other end of the
pendant pipe.
3. You can then install the pendant pipe.

RJ-45 coupler
You can then connect the RJ-45 from the camera with that from the local network using an
RJ-45 coupler. When done, press the coupler and the cables into the recess of the bracket.
Align and install the camera to the bracket.
