• Select an installation area that can support the total weight.
If a selected area is too weak to support the total weight, a fall of the product may occur
resulting in injury. Installation work shall be started after sufficient reinforcement.
• Periodic inspections shall be conducted.
Rust on the metal parts or screws may cause a fall of the product resulting in injury. Consult
the dealer for the inspections.
• Do not rub the edges of metal parts with your hand.
Failure to observe this may cause injury.
• Consult the dealer about the installation area to select a strong ceiling area. Make sure that
the installation area is strong enough to hold the total weight of the camera assembly
(approx. 1.7 kg{3.6 lbs.}) before installation.
• The installation area shall have 180 mm {7-1/8} or more space behind the ceiling.
• The thickness of the ceiling board for installation can range between 9 mm {3/8} and 
40 mm {1-9/16}.
• Avoid installing in the following locations.
• Locations where it may get wet from rain or water splash (not only outdoor)
• Locations where a chemical agent is used such as a swimming pool
• Locations subject to steam and oil smoke such as a kitchen
• Locations near flammable gas or vapor
• Locations where radiation or x-ray emissions are produced
• Locations subject to strong magnetic field or radio waves
• Locations where it may be damaged by briny air such as seashores
• Locations where the temperature is not within –10 °C - +50 °C {14 °F - 122 °F}.
• Locations subject to vibrations (This product is not designed for on-vehicle use.)
• Locations where the temperature may rapidly change such as the peripheral areas of
the air outlets of air conditioners or doors facing outside. (In case of installing the cam-
era in such locations, the dome cover may become foggy or condensation may be
caused on the cover.)
• The screws and bolts must be tightened with an appropriate tightening torque according to
the material and strength of the installation area. After tightening the screws or bolts, per-
form visual check to ensure tightening is enough and there is no backlash.
• The pull-out strength of the installation area shall be 196 N {20 kgf} or more per 1 screw.
• The protection sheet attached to the dome cover shall be peeled off after installation.

Precautions
• Refer installation work to the dealer.
Installation work requires technique and experiences. Failure to observe this may cause
fire, electric shock, injury, or damage to the product. Be sure to consult the dealer.
• Avoid installing this bracket in the locations where salt damage occurs or corrosive
gas is produced.
Otherwise, the mounting portions will deteriorate and accidents such as a fall of the camera
may occur.
• Use only the specified camera.
Failure to observe this may cause a fall of an inappropriate camera resulting in injury or
accidents. Mount WV-NS202 on this bracket exclusively.
• The screws and fixation mechanisms shall be tightened securely.
Failure to observe this may cause a fall of the camera resulting in injury.
• The measures of protection against a fall of the camera shall be taken.
Failure to observe this may cause injury. Be sure to install the safety wire.
Preface
This ceiling mount bracket is exclusively designed to mount the network camera, WV-NS202,
on a ceiling.
This bracket can be used for an area with weak pull-out strength such as plasterboard in a
double ceiling.
This bracket is an embedded type to reduce the exposed portion of the camera body.
• WV-Q151C: Clear dome cover
• WV-Q151S: Smoked dome cover (approx. 50 % of transmittance)

ceiling and make a hole.
qMake 4 holes of 12 mm {1/2} in diam-
eter.
wRemove the center part from the tem-
plate.
eMake a hole of 160 mm {6-5/16} in
diameter.
* The hole shape is shown below.
4. Install two anchor bolts (M10 recommended) into the concrete ceiling.
qDetermine the anchor bolt length by use of Template B (accessory).
wPosition the nut by use of Template B (accessory). (The distance between the bottom
surfaces of the ceiling board and nut shall be 136 mm {5-3/8}.)
Note:If there is already an anchor bolt installed, the anchor bolt can be used as a second
anchor bolt. Make sure that the distance between the 1st and 2nd anchor bolts is 1 000
mm {39-3/8} or less before use.

10. Install the inner shell.
Slide the covers located on the both lat-
eral sides of the camera and put the
inner shell on the camera until the hooks
inside the inner shell are held in the
holes of the camera (until a click is
heard).
Important:Put the inner shell down on
the camera until the outside cover of
the camera cannot be seen from the
opening (from which the camera
lens is visible) of the inner shell. If
this integration is not successfully
performed, the inner shell may be
removed or the hidden part at the
top of the screen may become larg-
er in the WIDE mode.
How to remove the inner shell
Press the inner shell from the front and rear
sides inward (at the same vertical position as
the hooks) to bend the shell and remove the
shell from the camera.

7. Insert the mounting base into the hole
made in Step 1.
8. Secure the mounting base to the ceil-
ing board with the ceiling board fixing
screws (4 positions).
qEngage the top of the mounting base
with the 1st anchor bolt.
wSecure the mounting base with dou-
ble nuts.
eSecure the mounting base by turning
the ceiling board fixing screws clock-
wise.
Turning the ceiling board fixing
screws clockwise provides ceiling
board tightening between the bottom
of the mounting base and ceiling
board fixing bracket resulting in
mounting base securing.
(Recommended tightening torque:
3.1 N·m {30.5 kgf·cm})
9. Prepare the cables.
Run the cables from the cable inlet.
Important:The cables shall be run from
the opposite side of the mark,
FRONT. Failure to observe this
makes the cables unconnectable.
