Preparations When installing the camera on a wall or a ceiling, there are two methods as specified below. • Using a two-gang junction box • Use the supplied mount bracket IMPORTANT: • Procure 4 screws (M4) to secure the camera attachment (accessory) or the mount bracket (accessory) to a wall or a ceiling according to the material of the installation area. Do not use wood screws and nails.
Note: • For wall mounting: The camera attachment (accessory) shall be mounted with "gTOP" facing upward. • For ceiling mounting: The camera attachment (accessory) shall be mounted with "hFRONT" facing in the direction of the camera front (the side where the Panasonic logo is).
Page 20
Using the mount bracket (accessory) Note: • When the camera is mounted on the wall or ceiling with a hole for cable running, or the camera is mounted using open wiring, the mount bracket is used. IMPORTANT: • If open wiring is conducted, be sure to use conduits and run the cables inside the tubes to protect the cables from direct sunlight.
• For wall mounting: The camera's upwards direction (the side opposite to where the Panasonic log is) is fixed. Select which direction to make the upward direction for the mount bracket. • For ceiling mounting: Select which direction to face the front (the side where the Panasonic logo is) of the camera.

<Using a conduit> Align the direction of the conduit to the direction of female thread for the conduit on the mount bracket, and mount the mount bracket to hole A or hole B on the wall or ceiling. [For use of the hole Conduit Mount bracket (accessory)
Page 23
• For ceiling mounting: The camera attachment (accessory) shall be mounted with aligning the front side (the side where the Panasonic logo is) of the camera with the position of the arrow in "hFRONT". IMPORTANT: • For installations on the wall, to prevent water from accumulating on the surface of the dehu- midifying device ( page 13), do not connect it at the upper side.
