Mount the power box. 

  • Install quick connect bracket to your preferred mounting substrate. 
  • Insert the center tab of the power box plate into the top of the bracket. Lower the power box into position and secure it with the provided bolt. 

Connect the power box to the camera. 

Optional Tether Installation

In areas where there is a risk of a falling camera causing injury or significant damage, a 1/32” wire rope with a minimum 150lb 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.

 

Installation Tips:

  • Clip the small tether to the camera mount as illustrated below. 
  • To secure the large tether to the pole, loop the cable around the pole and feed the green pool through the other. 
  • Hook the carabiner attached to the camera's tether to the green pool of the pole's tether.
