Installing the Camera Remove the back from the housing. The mounting tray for the camera is secured to the housing back.
Position the camera and lens on the tray,
and then secure it with the mounting bolt which threads into the
camera’s tripod socket. Use a coin or flathead
screwdriver (preferred) to tighten the mounting bolt so the
camera bottom is tight against the tray. 4
