How do I install my Cobalt Series camera?

 

Your client support manager will be the primary contact for technical support. The team is available at 888.849.2583 (Monday - Friday, 9 am - 5 pm EST).

Install the quick connect bracket to your preferred mounting substrate.

 

Installation Tips: 

  • Ensure your camera is level.
  • The camera has a field view of up to 97°.
  • Place the camera outside of the construction area to capture maximum activity. 
  • The ideal area to mount a camera is in a corner.

Slide the universal mount base onto the quick connect bracket and secure it using the two bolts on the mount.

Attach the camera to mount the head using the screws on the base of your
camera.

  • Adjust camera direction by rotating the mount head at the end of the universal mount base; tighten the bolt to hold the position.
  • Adjust camera angle by loosening the four bolts on the sides of the mount head and pivot along channel tracks; tighten bolts to the position.
  • Make sure the power cable isn’t tweaked against the universal mount. If stained, point the mount in a different direction and adjust the camera angle as shown in
    diagram 5.

Optional Tether Installation

In areas where there is the risk of a falling camera causing injury or significant damage, a 1/32” wire rope with a minimum 150 lb breaking strength is recommended to be installed separately to the camera and camera mount, and then back to the structural support. For tether equipment, contact your client support manager.
