Installation Procedures When Using
Housing with Heater and Fan
This section provides step-by-step procedures in installing the camera on a corner wall using the
Corner Mount with Mounting Bracket and Housing with heater and fan.
Before installation, prepare the following tools and accessories which are not included in the
camera package, thus must be purchased separately:
Corner Mount with Mounting Bracket and Housing SMAX-0006 for 110V or
SMAX-0007 for 220V
Outdoor Power Cable (length depends on installation requirement)
Exterior-Grade Ethernet Cable (length depends on installation requirement)
Step 1: Attach the Corner Mount
1. Align the Corner Mount to the corner wall and mark the location of the eight (8) screw holes.
NOTE:
The illustration above shows only the screw holes on one side of the wall.
Remember to mark the screw holes on the other side of the wall, too.
Due to different corner surfaces and shapes, it is recommended to use the
actual Corner Mount to mark the holes for drilling.
2. Drill the eight (8) screw holes.

Step 6: Waterproof and Insert the Cable
1. As needed, detach one or more clamping nuts of the cable gland. The cable gland is where
the cable, like Ethernet and power, will pass through. Usually, one cable gland is used for
Ethernet and another one is used for the power cable.
2. Using a finger, push from one side to remove the sealing insert from the cable gland body.
3. Using a pointed object, such as a screwdriver, push through the thin rubber layer of the
sealing insert to create a hole.
