Camera Unit

Before drilling any holes, take care to ensure there are no

cables, conduits, pipes etc. behind the surface to be drilled.

Be sure to site your camera so that it covers all desired

areas and does not obstruct any doorways or become a

hazard in walkways etc.

Allow sufficient space behind the surface to be drilled for

routing the umbilical cable and its connector.

Use the Surface Mount Fixing Plate as a template to mark camera position and drill

mounting holes; For LowLight Camera, line label indicates zero point orientation (Pan).

Make sure to align it to the vessel's bow;

Before the camera is fixed into place, set the appropriate camera

address, protocol and baud rate. This is done via dip switches

located behind a removable cover plate at the bottom of the camera
