Insert Anchors: Insert two wall anchors into the drilled holes. (Diagram: Shows anchors being inserted into wall holes).
Secure Bracket: Position the gasket (mounting bracket) and secure it by tightening screws into the plastic anchors. (Diagram: Shows screws being tightened into anchors on the wall).
Attach Camera: Align the grooves on the bottom of the camera with the raised area on the gasket. Press down until flush, then turn the camera in either direction to lock it in position. (Diagram: Shows camera base aligning with and locking onto the wall bracket).
