2.3 Mounting the Camera
The Observer can sit on a flat surface, such a shelf or bookcase, be mounted to a wall using the included bracket, or mounted atop a tripod stand using the standard tripod mount located on the underside of the base. When using the camera free standing, be sure to secure the cables. Failing to secure the cables could cause the camera to be pulled off the mounting surface resulting in damage to the camera.
CAUTION: The camera should be mounted indoors only. Outdoor exposure may result in damage and will void your warranty
CAUTION: Don’t mount the camera with the lens facing into direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight will damage the sensor.
Wall Mounting
The mounting bracket included with your camera provides convenient mounting to vertical surfaces, such as walls. The camera support platform can be tilted up or down to help point the camera toward your area of interest. You can also rotate the camera in any direction on the platform.
Step 1. Find a suitable location to mount the camera.
Step 2. Using the mounting bracket as a guide, mark the location of the two mounting holes.
Step 3. Drill a ¼” hole for each screw.
Step 4. Use a hammer to tap the two plastic anchors into the holes.
Step 5. Use the two screws to fasten the bracket to the wall.
Step 6. Place the camera on the mounting bracket platform and rotate the camera to be facing in the desired direction.
Step 7. Secure the camera to the mounting bracket using the thumbscrew located on the bottom of the platform.
Step 8. Loosen the tilt adjust thumbscrew and tilt the camera toward the area to be observed.
