Indoor Installation Procedures

This section describes the procedures in installing the camera indoors using PMAX-1104 indoor

bracket (purchased separately).

When using brackets from other manufacturers, check the installation guide included in the

bracket to install the camera. Similar procedures apply when using brackets from other camera

manufacturers.

NOTE: Some pictures in this documentation only show one type of camera lens; this means that

the procedures are applicable to other types of lens, unless specified otherwise.

Step 1: Attach the Camera Lens

NOTE: To avoid scratches or leaving fingerprints on the lens, it is recommended to retain the

protective cap covering the lens until the camera is completely installed.

1. Unpack the camera and check the bundled camera lens. The camera comes with one of the

following lens.

D21FA / E21FA

D22FA / E22FA /

E217 / E270

D2xVA / E2xVA / E2xA /

E23B / E222 / E271

2. Pull to remove the cap covering the camera lens holder.

Step 2: Attach the Mounting Block

Determine where you want to install the camera: on the ceiling or on the wall.

 If the camera will be installed on the ceiling, attach the mounting block on the top side

of the camera.

 If the camera will be installed on the wall, attach the mounting block on the bottom

side of the camera. Secure the mounting block to the camera using the two (2) screws

included in the mounting block package.

Step 3: Mount the Indoor Bracket

NOTE:

 The indoor bracket is not included in the camera package and must be purchased

separately.

 The pictures on the succeeding pages are for reference only, camera labels and

appearance may vary depending on camera model.

Before installing the bracket, make sure the ceiling or wall can bear more than the weight of the

camera and its accessories.

Install the indoor bracket to the ceiling or wall using the three (3) screws included in the bracket

package.

Step 4: Attach the Camera to the Bracket

NOTE: The following images show the mounting bracket attached on the bottom side of the

camera. Same procedures apply when attaching the mounting bracket on the top side.

1. If necessary, insert a memory card into the memory card slot of the camera with the metal

contacts facing down. Push until the card clicks into place. See How to Install / Remove the

Memory Card on page 36 for more information.
