[3] Mount the camera onto the ceiling or wall using WV-Q120A (Adapter box: 
Optional accessory) (Hereinafter WV-Q120A is referred to as Q120A.)
As shown in the illustration to the right, 
install the camera to a junction box using 
4 M4 fixing screws (locally procured)  via 
the holes in side B of the camera mount 
bracket. (Minimum pull-out strength:   
724 N {163 lbf} (per 1 pc.))
Note:
 
● The procedure for fitting screws in the holes 
for connections and fixing screws is the 
same as for  2
, 3
, and  4
 in [1] Directly 
mount the camera onto the ceiling or wall. 
 
● When junction boxes or the like are used, it 
is recommended that 2 pieces be used side 
by side. (Securing the camera to one junction box and making connections to the other 
makes cable connections easy.)

IMPORTANT:
 
● Securely tighten the 4 front cover fixing 
screws. Failure to do so may cause the cam
-era to fall or waterproof failure.  
Recommended tightening torque: 0.6 N·m 
{0.44 lbf·ft}
Example: When mounting on a ceiling
  3   Remove the protection sheet on the 
lens portion, and turn on the camera.
*   Do not adjust the PAN 
rotation part more than 
±180 °. This may cause 
cables to be wrenched.
IMPORTANT:
 
● For the screws or anchor bolts used in the above methods ([1] to [3]), be sure to secure 
the minimum pull-out strength of 724 N {163 lbf} per screw or bolt.
 
● Select screws according to the material of the ceiling or wall that the camera will be 
mounted to. In this case, wood screws and nails should not be used.
 
● If a ceiling or wall board such as plaster board is too weak to support the total weight, 
the area shall be sufficiently reinforced.
 
● Because the front cover is temporarily removed when installing or adjusting the camera, 
make sure no liquid enters the camera at these times.
