Ceiling/Wall Mount

Wiring without making a hole for a cable in the ceiling or wall For BB-HCM531A:

Before following the procedures below, we recommend passing all cables (AC adaptor, LAN, audio/video, etc.) through a duct (i.e., hose, tube, etc.) for proper waterproofing.

1.Secure the safety wire to the camera using screw A (included) and washer S (included).

•Make sure you attach the safety wire when mounting the camera, to prevent the camera from falling.

8.Mount the flexible stand firmly to the ceiling or wall with screw B (included).

•Do not drive the screws into a soft material. Drive the screws into a secure area of the wall, such as a column, otherwise the camera may fall and be damaged.

•Use screws that are suited for the type of material the camera is mounted to.

•Be careful not to nip the cables.

•Make sure the flexible stand is firmly mounted on a beam of wood (25 mm [1 inch] and greater) etc. When there is no beam, apply a board on the other side of the ceiling or wall to make sure the camera does not drop.
