Camera orientation
The camera can be mounted in 2 orientations referred to as
“Ball up” and “Ball down”.
D12852-1
Ball up: The camera is mounted on
top of the mounting surface.
D12853-1
Ball down: The camera is
suspended upside down, below the
mounting surface.
Note:
For ball down mounting you must invert the image
orientation using the Web interface or the camera’s On-Screen
Display menu.

Location requirement
When planning the installation location, consider the following
points:
• The camera is waterproof, and appropriate for above decks
mounting.
• The underside (inside) of the compartment or deck on to
which the camera is mounted must be weather-tight. You
must ensure protection from water ingress to cables and
connections.
• The mounting surface must be horizontal.
• If you cannot access both sides of the mounting surface, then
you will need to mount the camera “top down”.
• Fixings are supplied for a mounting surface of up to 41 mm
(1.6 in) thick. A thicker surface will require the installer to
provide alternative fixings.
• The camera mounting surface must be at least as large as
the footprint of the camera itself to ensure an adequate seal
with the O-ring.
• The camera should be mounted as high as practical,
but without interfering with any radar, navigational or
communications electronics.
• Choose a location that will provide the most unobstructed
view in all directions.
• Choose a location as close to the vessel’s center line as
possible. This provides a symmetrical view when looking
forward or aft.
• Select a location for the camera that is at least 7 cm (2.75 in.)
from any magnetic compass.
• Select a location that is at least 1 m (3 ft) from devices that
may cause interference, such as motors, generators and radio
transmitters / receivers.
• If installing an optional JCU, select a location for the JCU that
is at least 11 cm (4.33 in.) from any magnetic compass.
