Notes
Check for reception strength and camera angle before drilling the holes.
The types of screws and anchors you need depend on the composition of the wall. You may need to purchase the screws and anchors separately to mount your camera units.
2.
If you drill the holes into a stud, go to step 3.
If you drill the holes into an object other than a stud, insert the wall
anchors into the holes. Tap gently on the ends with a hammer until the
wall anchors are flush with the wall.
3.
Align the wall mount bracket and screws with the
holes in the wall as shown. Tighten the screw in the
middle hole first, so that the wall mount bracket
position is fixed. You can tighten the other screw in
the top hole.

Insert the screws into the holes and tighten the screws until only 1/4 inch
of the screws are exposed.

Place the camera unit on the wall mount
bracket. Tighten the screw into the threaded
socket at the bottom to secure the camera

bracket with the screws on the wall, and slide
the wall mount bracket down until it locks into
place.
