If you are intending to install the camera on a pole, you should consider using the MOBOTIX
M16 pole mount. This mount is made of 3-mm powder-coated stainless steel (white) and
hasbeendesignedspecicallyforoutdooruse.Thesuppliedstainlesssteelstrapsallowthe
mount to be attached to poles with diameters between 60 mm and 180 mm. By design, the
pole mount does not allow the use of an in-wall socket. We recommend using an MX-Patch-Box
that can be easily inserted into the cavity socket of the wall mount (VarioFlex mount) in
order to ensure a weatherproof connection of the network devices. For more information
on the MX-Patch-Box, please visit www.mobotix.com and go to the
Product Selector >
Accessories > Interface Boxes
section.
The camera is always installed together with the VarioFlex
mount, which is shipped as a wall mount, and can also be
installed directly on the pole mount. The best camera posi-
tion for the selected sensor module must be found before
installing the camera (see Section 2.2, «First Installation
Steps»).Youcanne-tuneitspositiononcethecamera
