Locally procure the screws
Screws are not supplied with this product. 
Prepare the screws according to the material, 
structure, strength and other factors of the 
mounting area and the total weight of objects 
to be mounted.
Screw tightening
 • The scr ews and bolts must be tightened 
with an appropriate tightening torque 
according to the material and strength of 
the installation area. 
 • Do not use an impact driver . Failure to 
observe this may cause overtightening and 
consequently damage to the screws.   
 • When a scr ew is tightened, make the 
screw at a right angle to the surface. After 
tightening the screws or bolts, perform 
visual check to ensure tightening is enough 
and there is no backlash.

 Remove the dome cover
1 Peel off the protection sheet from the dome 
cover. Don't remove completely as this 
protects the dome during installation. 
2 Loosen the dome cover fixing screw.
3 Adjust the mark on this unit to [|] on the 
dome cover, and turn the dome cover 
counterclockwise to remove it.
When installing the camera on a wall or ceiling, there are two methods as specified below.
	 •	 Use	the	two-gang	junction	box
	 •	 Installing	the	camera	directly	on	a	wall	or	ceiling
Important:
	 •	 Procure	4	screws	(M4)	to	secure	the	camera	to	a	wall	or	ceiling	according	to	the	material	of	the	
installation area. Do not use wood screws and nails. For mounting a camera on a concrete wall 
or	ceiling,	use	an	anchor	bolt	(M4)	for	securing.	
	 	 (Recommended	tightening	torque	M4:	1.6	N·m	{1.18	lbf·ft})	
	 •	 Required	pull-out	strength	of	a	single	screw/bolt	is	196	N	or	more.	
	 •	 If	a	ceiling	board	such	as	plaster	board	is	too	weak	to	support	the	total	weight,	the	installation	
area	shall	be	sufficiently	reinforced.	
	 •	 The	protection	sheet	attached	to	the	dome	section	should	be	peeled	off	after	installation.	
The mounting conditions of the camera are described as follows:

 About the side cable access hole 
If you choose not to drill hole in the wall or 
ceiling, but to wire the camera with the cable 
exposed, cut the cable access hole on the side 
of the dome cover to provide a cable entry. 
Precautions when wiring from the side: 
• Remove the dust guar d cap. Run the cable 
through the cable access hole and bend it 
inward, then reinstall the dust guard cap. 
• Run the cable through the side cable access 
hole as shown. 
• Be careful not to pinch the cable with the 
dome cover.
 Installation method of camera
Using a gang junction box 
(locally procured) 
When using a gang junction box, procure one 
locally that meets the dimensions in the figure.
Next locally procure 4 camera-mounting screws 
suitable for the installation surface and structure 
of the wall/ceiling or gang junction box.
1
 Attach the gang junction box to the wall or 
ceiling. 
2
 Attach the camera to the gang junction box 
with the 4 screws. 
3
 Tighten all mounting screws.

Installing the camera directly on a wall or ceiling
Affix the installation template label (accessory) to the ceiling or wall\
, and use a pen to mark the 
positions of the screws and cable mounting hole in the ceiling or wall. 
Remove the installation template label, and attach the camera with 4 scr\
ews (M4, locally procured). 
 Connections
Connect the video output
Important: 
	 •	 Be	sure	to	turn	off	the	power	of	each	
device before connecting. 
	 •	 Be	sure	to	secure	the	coaxial	cable	
connectors.
Connect a coaxial cable (locally procured) to 
the video output connector. 
Connect the power supply
Connect the power cord of the camera to the 
power supply. The colors and functions of the 
conductors are shown below.

Important:  • The power supply of 24 V AC/12 V DC shall be insulated against  220 to 240 V AC.
 • The power supply is automatically switchover either 24 V AC or  12 V DC. No setting is required 
with this camera. 
Connection of power cord
When connecting the power cord, use connectors that are designed for the power cord, and be 
careful not to let the power cord fall off. 
In addition, waterproofing work is needed at the joint, e.g., wrapping waterproof tape around the 
joint. 
Cable length and wire gauge
24 V AC 
The recommended cable length and wire gauge are shown in the table for reference. The voltage 
supplied to the power terminals of the camera should be within 19.5 V AC\
 and 28 V AC.
The recommended wire size for 24 V AC power cord is shown below:
12 V DC
Calculation of the relation among the cable length, resistance, and power supply.
The voltage supplied to the camera shall be between 10.8 V DC and 16 V D\
