What is required:
What is included:
Optional Additional Hardware:
Cinder block and brick wall anchors
Step 1
Apply the drill template sticker where you will mount the camera.
If the cable will be mounted externally, make sure to note the direction of the cable exit.
Step 2
If mounting to drywall:
Drill three holes according to the drill template using a 3/16” drill bit.
If mounting to cinder block / brick:
Drill three holes according to the drill template using a 3/16” masonry drill bit.
If mounting to sheet metal:
Drill three holes according to the drill template using a 1/8" drill bit.
Step 3 (optional, if routing cable internally)
If routing the ethernet cable internally, use a 1” hole saw to create the routing hole according to the drill template.
Step 4
If mounting to drywall:
Apply the drywall wall anchors and gently hammer them in.
If mounting to cinder block / brick:
Apply the cinder block / brick wall anchors and gently hammer them in.
Step 5
If mounting to drywall, cinder block or brick:
Start by screwing in the top screw. Tighten by hand to avoid stripping the wall anchors.
If mounting to sheet metal:
Directly screw into the sheet metal. No wall anchors are required. Start by screwing in the top screw. Tighten by hand to avoid stripping the hole.
Step 6
If mounting the cable externally:
Make sure the cable exit is sitting within the cable exit groove before fully tightening the mounting screws.
If mounting the cable internally:
Route the cables into the pass through hole.
Step 7
For the Turret camera:
Snap the camera cover onto the mounting plate.
Use the Spot AI dashboard to view the camera field of view while adjusting the camera angle as desired.
Step 8
Once the camera angle is set, use an allen key to tighten the set screw.
Step 9
Remove the camera protective lens covers from the camera lens.
Note:
Examine the RJ45 waterproof kit provided. One gasket is to cap the ethernet end closed. It is not needed. Discard this part. You will only need what is circled in blue.
The order of assembly is as shown below:
There is a ridge on the inside of the main housing and the grommet. These should mate when assembled.
Step 10
Assemble the grommet into the main housing. Assemble the (1) screw cap then (2) the main housing with grommet insert onto the ethernet cable.
Step 11
Assemble the gasket to the RJ45 receptacle pigtail from the camera side. Ensure that it is properly seated for an appropriate seal.
Step 12
Using an insulation removal tool, strip the cable jacket of your ethernet cable.
Step 13
Orient your cable wires to be inserted into the RJ45 connector
Step 14
Prepare the wires for the RJ45 connection by trimming the wires to 1/2" in length.
Step 15
Check the wire order once more, then with clip side down, push the wires into the RJ45
connector. Ensure all wires slide smoothly into the appropriate wire grooves. Double check all wires are seated in the correct position.
Step 16
Then place the RJ45 connector into the crimping tool and crimp the wire. Many RJ45 crimping tools are all-in-one, stripping and crimping at the same time.
The completed connection should look like the image below. If you have an ethernet cable tester, this is a good time to test the connections for continuity prior to use.
Step 17
Plug in the ethernet connection into the camera RJ45 receptacle pigtail. Slide the waterproof housing over the connection and twist the bayonet lock. Lastly, tighten the end cap to create a watertight seal of the grommet on the wire jacket.
