Connect Ethernet cable and IO wires (this may include the AC24V wires) to the interface
section of the camera, and then combine the interface section with the dome cap. Note
that you must route cables through the waterproof connector and the rubber seal plug, and
install them to the dome cap. Please refer to the Quick Installation Guide for details.
Cabling should be done before mounting the camera.

IV-1-1. Pendant Mount without Pendant Pipe: AM-118
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 a pendant adapter (AM-519) by turning it clockwise to the pendant head, and
secure the connection using an included 3mm hex wrench.

3. Route power lines and other wires through the pendant head. You may apply a 1 inch
conduit.
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 camera top section.

2. Drill 4 pilot holes (10mm in diameter and 5.5cm deep) into the wall, and then hammer in
threaded anchors. Note that you should hammer the anchors with hex nuts on them so
that the threaded poles will not be deformed! If preferred, drill another hole for routing
cables.
3. Secure the wall mount bracket to wall using 4 sets of lock washers and nuts.
4. Attach the top section (dome cap and interface section) of the camera to the gooseneck
bracket
5. Align the camera body with the top section. Align the

Room for routing cables
The parapet bracket is designed for installation on the inside of a parapet. Note the
following before you start to install:
1. There must be a clearance of 65mm between the upper edge of the parapet wall and
the metal bracket xed to the wall. You can ush align the upper edge of the alignment
sticker with the edge of a parapet wall.
2. At least two inches of space should be available below the parapet bracket for routing
cables.
The space requirements for a parapet mount are shown below:
The parapet wall should have a
concrete strength of 4000 PSI or higher.
Each sleeve anchor can withstand an
800kgs pull-out force.
IMPORTANT:

Below is a sample procedure using the parapet mount bracket:
1. Determine a hard surface location. Use the alignment sticker to mark the positions
where holes will be drilled for the bracket.
2. Drill 6 pilot holes (10mm in diameter and 5.5cm deep) into the wall, and then hammer
in the sleeve anchors. Note that you should hammer the anchors with hex nuts and
washers on them so that the threaded poles will not be deformed!

If you install the corner parapet bracket, use the included alignment sticker, and mark the
drill holes through the mounting slots on the brackets.
NOTE:

4. Use a crescent wrench to secure the outer brackets to the brackets on the wall using
the M8x25 hex bolts and washers. Do not completely tighten the bolts yet! When the
speed dome is installed to the mount pipe, it needs to be swiveled out to the desired
position.
6. Feed cables through the pipe arm. The cable length for passing through the pipe arm is
250cm at least. You can pass a rigid copper wire through the pipe arm rst, and use it to
pull other wires through the pipe.
5. Install the AM-519 adapter to the parapet pipe.

21
English
7. Install the top section of the camera to the pipe arm by driving 3 M5 x8 screws.
8. Insert the pipe arm into the round openings on the brackets until it is rested on the
bottom bracket.

22
9. Install the camera to the top section. For installation details, refer to the Quick
Installation Guide or page 15 in this document.
10. Swivel the pipe arm outwards to the opposite position. Use the M8 x70 bolts to secure
the pipe arm to the brackets. You also need to tighten the M8 x25 bolts between the
inner and outer brackets.
IMPORTANT:
When inserting the M8 bolts, you may
damage the cables inside. Try twist the
bolts a bit to get around cables if you feel
resistance when inserting through the pipe.
