Installing the Camera on a Surface 
This section describes the procedures in installing the camera on a flat surface such as a hard or 
dropped ceiling and straight or tilted walls. Before installation, make sure the wall or the ceiling 
can bear more than the weight of the camera. 
Step 1: Drill the Holes 
Before drilling the holes on the ceiling or wall, note the direction of the connectors side of the 
camera, which is also the opposite side of the camera logo. This influences the camera 
placement and where you should drill the hole where the cables will pass through or how the 
cables will go along the ceiling or wall. 
1.  Use the supplied drill template to mark the screw holes on the surface according to the 
preferred orientation. 
2.  Determine how the cables will be routed: pass through the surface or along the surface.   
  If the cables will pass through the surface, drill the cable hole and the three (3) 
screw holes on the surface. 
  If the cables will be routed along the surface, just drill the three (3) screw holes on 
the surface. 
3.  Insert the plastic plugs into the screw holes.
