Mounting the Housing
The housing consists of two main assemblies, the camera mounting frame and the removable
front plate, where the camera and all electronics are mounted. The front plate is secured to the
base plate with Resistorx tamperproof screws. A special bit is supplied in the accessory pack for
removing and replacing these screws. When the installation is complete, retain the Torx bit in
case access to the interior of the housing is required later. Additionally, a rear cover is supplied
for those installations requiring Canadian UL compliance or extra protection from fire.
1) Installation without the rear cover:
1. Remove the front plate using the no. 20 Torx bit provided; retain the screws in a safe place.
Using the camera mounting frame as a template, mark the locations of the mounting holes on
the three mounting tabs (2 holes per tab). Open a hole in the wall or ceiling to accommodate
routing the cables to the camera.
2. Route all necessary cables to the location if not already done so.
3. Drill suitable holes for the hardware selected appropriate for the wall/ceiling material. The use
of No. 8 (or 4 mm metric) mounting hardware is recommended. Use hollow-wall anchors or, if
the housing is being mounted on a sheet metal surface, use rivet nuts.
4. Secure the camera mounting frame to the wall/ceiling with fasteners appropriate for the
mounting surface. Route the cables through the access hole in the wall or ceiling.
5. When the camera mounting frame is secured to the surface, apply an epoxy security sealant
around the perimeter of the base plate where it meets the ceiling/wall. [Vicon recommends
DynaPoxy™ EP1200 (US) or Arbokol 1025 (UK) or equivalent for this purpose.]
2) Installation with the rear cover:
Note: The installation corner must be sharp and clean; if necessary, clean any excess material
from the installation location.
1. Remove the front plate using the no. 20 Torx bit provided; retain the screws in a safe place.
2. Select the cable access hole in the rear cover to be used (6 provided) and knockout the hole.
Place the rear cover in the corner; using it as a template, mark the locations of the three (3)
mounting holes and the cable access hole. Remove it from the corner.
3. Drill suitable mounting holes and open the hole to accommodate routing the cables to the
camera in the wall/ceiling. Be sure the cable access hole is large enough to accommodate the
cable clamp.
4. Route all necessary cables to the location if not already done so. Fasten the cable clamp
(provided) into the cable access knockout hole so that the clamp is on the inside of the rear
cover. Route cables through the access hole and through the rear cover; be sure to allow
enough cable length to make connections to the camera board. Mount the rear cover to the
wall/ceiling through the 3 holes provided; use hardware appropriate for the mounting surface.
5. Using the camera mounting frame as a template, insert it into the rear cover and mark the
mounting holes on the 3 tabs (2 holes per tab) that align with the holes in the rear cover; drill
suitable mounting holes. Attach the camera mounting frame onto the wall/ceiling and secure it
using appropriate hardware for the mounting surface. The use of No. 8 (or 4 mm metric)
mounting hardware is recommended. Use hollow wall anchors or, if the housing is being
mounted on a sheet metal surface, use rivet nuts.
6. Make cable connections to the camera board. See instructions below. Adjust the cable length
