Mount

When placing the mounting plate, take care to orient it such that your camera’s target is situated within the “Camera Pan Angle”. If your cable is routed through a hole in the mounting surface, position one of the mount plate’s notches labeled “Cable” as close to the cable hole as possible.
Use the mounting plate to mark holes for mounting screws.
For a solid material like wood or metal, drill 1/8-inch pilot holes. Drive mounting screws directly into the pilot holes.
For drywall, drill 1/4-inch holes. Insert plastic anchors into holes and drive mounting screws into anchors.
For a drop ceiling, drill 3/16-inch holes through the ceiling tile and insert machine screws. Behind the ceiling tile, place washers and wing nuts on each screw and hand tighten.
Plug in the camera. Line up the blue notches on the mounting plate and the camera body and place the camera over the center pin on the mounting plate.
With the camera on the mounting plate, rotate the entire camera body on the mounting plate to adjust the pan angle. Tilt and rotate just the camera lens for further adjustment.
Secure
Route the cable snuggly between the camera base and the mounting plate. Place the cover on the camera. Be sure the magnets have pulled the cover flush against the mounting surface.
