2.8.1 Mounting Indoor Cameras to a Wall or Ceiling
In order to mount the MOBOTIX D12 to a ceiling or wall, you need to drill the holes
for the fixtures. Use the supplied
drilling template
to mark the position of the holes
for the fixtures and the holes through which the cables will be led later on (fold-
out). Remember to position the drilling template according to the direction of
the camera's PIR sensor.
Planning and Connecting the CAT5 Cable
(1) Position the camera housing over the cable exit.
(2) Lead the cables through the appropriate holes in the housing.
(3) Properly lead the cable(s) through the cable guides at the outer rim of the
housing.
(4) Use the proper screws to mount the camera housing to the wall or ceiling.
