weight of the camera and ceiling plates and is suffi ciently reinforced if necessary.

Periodically check the brackets and screws for rust and loose material to prevent

injuries and equipment damage due to falling items.

•

•

•

Do not install in unstable places, places subject to signifi cant vibration or impact, or

places subject to salt damage or corrosive gas.

Be sure to attach the safety wire when installing the camera.

Failure to do so may result in the camera falling or other accidents.

Precautions for Mounting the Camera Underneath Eaves (VB-M600VE)

For installation of VB-M600VE underneath eaves, observe the following precautions to retain
waterproof/dustproof capabilities.

.

Position the
wiring hole
straight down

Be sure to install the camera underneath eaves unexposed to

direct sunlight.

Install the camera in a place unexposed to direct rainfall.
Firmly fi x the dome case to the main unit of the camera with the

lock screws, taking care not to pinch cables between the main
unit and dome case.

If wiring the camera through the wiring hole on the bottom, use

silicone sealant or a rubber mat to ensure waterproofi ng. Also
use an insect repellent sponge if necessary.

If wiring with a composite pipe (NPT 3/4 inch threaded hole)

attached to the wiring hole, wrap tefl on tape around the tip of the
pipe, clear any debris from the wiring hole and fi rmly tighten the
pipe. Apply silicone sealant after attaching the pipe.

When mounting the camera onto a wall or other upright surface, position the wiring hole

straight down to prevent rain infi ltration.
