Installation

Step 1

1. Remove the enclosure from the camera body.
   For compact dome types and indoor dome types of cameras, the enclosure is removed before installation. Refer to the parts describing installation in the Installation Guide for each camera for information on how to remove the enclosure.
   
2. For models other than the compact dome-type WV-S31xx, S35xx series, attach the attachment plate (camera accessory) to this product using the fixing screws for attachment plate.

When attaching using the attachment plate included with the camera (Recommended tightening torque: 0.78 N·m {0.58 lbf·ft})

NOTE

• When attaching an indoor 360-degree panoramic type camera, the “TOP” mark direction on the attachment plate will be in the direction of the Panasonic logo after the camera is installed.
• When attaching the camera directly to this product (Compact dome type WV-S31xx, S35xx series) The attachment plate is not used.The installation instructions from hereon use the installation of the WV-S2531LN (outdoor dome type) on a wall using this product as an example. The procedure for installation is the same for other cameras. When installing by combining this product with other brackets, refer to the Operating Instructions for the other brackets as well.

Step 2

* Determine the diameter and depth of the holes according to the specifications of the fixing screws (4 pcs.) (M4: procured separately).

NOTE

• When wiring using the “wiring hole on the side” of the camera, the “wiring hole” in the illustration at right is not necessary.
  

Step 3
Thread the cables through this product, then fix to the wall.

NOTE

• When installing outside, waterproof the wiring hole and the holes for the fixing screws.
  Fixing screws (4 pcs.) (M4: locally procured) Minimum pullout strength: 196 N {44 lbf} (per 1 pc.)
  

Step 4
