Mounting the Indoor/Outdoor Pendant Mount

Note: Be aware that the weather sealing ability of the final assembly will depend on the specific mounting surface and the installation methods employed.

  1. Determine where the cables will enter the bracket. The bracket can accept cable entry through the back of the mounting base or through a 3/4" NPT entry at the base of the bracket.

    1. If using the cable entry hole at the back of the mounting base, use the 3/4" NPT closure plug to close the entry hole at the base of the bracket.
      • When installing outdoors, wrap the thread of the plug with the supplied Teflon sealing tape to create a water tight seal around the camera connection and the cable conduit hole. When applying the Teflon sealing tape, be sure to wrap in the same direction that the mount will be tightened. This will ensure the tape does not unravel when installing the mating parts together.
    2. When installing outdoors, wrap the thread of the plug with the supplied Teflon sealing tape to create a water tight seal around the camera connection and the cable conduit hole. When applying the Teflon sealing tape, be sure to wrap in the same direction that the mount will be tightened. This will ensure the tape does not unravel when installing the mating parts together.

      Note: Only vandal resistant conduits should be used to protect the cables, and be compatible with the pendant mount’s vandal resistant design.

      When installing the dome camera outdoors, ensure the conduit and its fitting are designed for outdoor use. They must have a suitable IP rating for the environment that the dome camera is installed.

  2. Use the drill template to drill four mounting holes in the wall.
  3. Pull the cables through the bracket then mount the bracket to the wall surface.

    When installing outdoors, be sure to create a waterproof seal with an appropriate sealant between the gasket and the mounting surface.

  4. Install the camera as described in the camera’s installation guide.

    When installing outdoors, use Teflon sealing tape to create a water tight seal, refer to step 1a.
