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
