Camera Mounting
General Camera Mounting Steps
- Fully charge the camera battery before installation.
- Remove the camera's native mounting plate by sliding it in the direction opposite to the [up-arrow] indicator.
- Unclasp the camera mount.
- Detach the camera mount from the battery cover by unscrewing.
- Remove the rubber cap from the camera's back and use it to plug the bottom opening.
- Attach the camera mount to the back of the camera using its screw.
- Clasp the camera mount and attach the camera to the mounting plate by sliding until it clicks.
- Unclasp the mount and tighten the security screw. (For Stick Up Cam Pro, remove the decorative cover first, tighten the screw, then re-attach the cover).
- Refer to your camera setup guide for angle adjustment, securing, and final setup.
Pole Mounting
Steps for Pole Installation
- Choose the correct hose clamp size (e.g., 2-4 inches or 2.5-5.5 inches) [hose-clamp-icon].
- Remove silicone plugs from the mount.
- Loop the hose clamp through the mount's side slots until the fastener head reaches the side.
- Secure the clamp around the pole at the desired height by inserting the clamp into the fastener head.
- Turn the screw with a screwdriver to tighten the clamp. Re-insert and tighten until fully secured. (Optional: use an electric screwdriver, but avoid overtightening).
Wall Mounting
Steps for Wall Installation
- Use the drilling template to mark screw holes on the wall. Print the template at 100% for accuracy.
- For stucco, brick, or concrete, use a 7/32 in (5.5 mm) masonry bit to drill holes for the wall anchors.
- Attach the mount using the four included wall mount screws and anchors.
Solar Panel Mounting
Steps for Solar Panel Installation
- Mount the solar panel [solar-panel-icon]. Ensure the mount is positioned under direct sunlight if installing a solar panel. If not installing a solar panel, insert the solar mount arm cover until it clicks.
- Slide the solar panel onto the solar mount arm bracket until it clicks.
- Wrap the cable underneath the solar panel, leaving enough length to connect the camera.
- Slide the solar mount arm onto the mount until it clicks.
- Adjust the solar panel angle by loosening the knob, then tighten to secure. Extend the mount arm by loosening the ring, then tighten to secure.
- Plug the power cable into your camera [power-cable-icon], ensuring it is fully connected.
- Refer to your solar panel setup guide for cable adapter selection and final setup.
- To remove the solar panel: Untighten and remove the mount from the pole or wall. Press the button behind the mount to release the arm. Pull the tab underneath the arm bracket to release the panel.
