Installing the Camera on a Ceiling
Use the supplied ceiling bracket to install the camera.
The ceiling bracket is attached to the camera unit. Remove it before installing.
WARNING
 If you attach the camera in a high location such as wall or ceiling, etc., entrust
the installation to an experienced contractor or installer.

If you install the camera in a high location, ensure that the ceiling is strong
enough to withstand the weight of the camera plus mounting brackets
and screws, and then install the camera securely. If the ceiling is not strong
enough, the camera may fall and cause serious injury.
 To prevent the camera from falling, make sure to attach the built-in wire rope.
 If you attach the camera to the ceiling, check periodically, at least once a year,
to ensure that the connection has not loosened. If conditions warrant, make
this periodic check more frequently.
Before installation

Decide the direction in which the camera will shoot, before making holes for
wiring and screw holes.

Push down the perforated tab to bundle the cables from the side of the
camera. (For details, see " Cable cover" in "Location and Function of Part. " )

How to install
1
Put the built-in wire rope on the hook in the ceiling bracket. (-1)
2
Connect the cables.
Note
Although you can connect the cables while the camera unit is hanging from
the ceiling bracket with the help of the rope, be sure not to put additional
pressure on the unit.
3
Align the triangular mark on the camera with the diamond-shaped
mark on the ceiling bracket, and then attach the camera unit into the
bracket. (-2)
4
Rotate the camera unit in a clockwise direction.
5
Attach the camera unit to the ceiling bracket by fixing two screws at both
sides of the unit.
6
Attach the cable cover.
Note
Use the supplied screws to install the unit. Using other screws may cause
damage inside the unit.
How to remove the camera
1
Loosen and remove the two screws on both sides of the camera unit.
2
Rotate the camera unit in a counterclockwise direction, and remove it
from the ceiling bracket.
3
Disconnect the cables.
Note
Although you can disconnect the cables while the camera unit is hanging
from the ceiling bracket with the help of the rope, be sure not to put
additional pressure on the unit.
4
Unhook the built-in wire rope from the ceiling bracket, and dismount the
camera unit.
Note
Always hold the camera when you dismount the camera unit. This will
prevent any risk of the camera falling.
Install the camera with its head facing upward
Follow the same steps as in "Installing the Camera on a Ceiling" when installing or
removing the camera.
Be sure to place the camera securely to prevent it from falling.
