Before Starting the Installation:
The IN-Ceiling Half-Recessed Enclosure for the HD or RoboSHOT Series PTZ camera is
an integrated enclosure designed for installation in a suspended ceiling tile. A recessed
conversion kit is available for gypsum board or hardwood ceilings and includes mounting
flanges, a larger white trim ring and mounting hardware kit.
Before starting the installation of the enclosure and camera, check above the ceiling where the camera is to be
installed to verify the area is clear of obstructions and confirm that there is adequate room for the camera
enclosure.
When terminating the Cat-5e cabling, make sure that each cable is marked for purpose “Power/Video/Control”
and is tested for proper termination of all ends with a continuity tester. Please do not use the “pass -thru” type
RJ-45 connectors.
All above-ceiling work must conform to local building codes and should be performed by qualified personnel.
There is a clamp down ¾” conduit connector on the side back box that can be switched out to an EMT type
connector to seal the box for areas that have building codes that require conduit for all cabling.
The supplied one-piece tile support brace has six (6) points that can be tied to the structure for additional
support and to meet seismic stabilization requirements.
The camera module enclosure and tile support brace allows for superior flexibility and positioning freedom when
used with 2’x2’ and 2’x4’ ceiling tiles. The camera does not have to be mounted in the center of the tile.
Before cutting the hole in the ceiling tile, remove the ceiling tile from the grid and place it on a suitable and safe
work surface.
Always measure twice, and then check your work, then cut the tile.
STEP-BY-STEP Installation Instructions:
Step 1:
For the most obvious reasons, a ladder is required to install the IN-Ceiling Half-Recessed
Enclosure and Vaddio PTZ camera into an acoustic tile ceiling. Safety comes first, so
please use safe tools ladders and installation practices.
Choose the tile that the enclosure and camera are to be installed. Make sure that it is
not too close to a wall or ceiling lighting fixture that will serve to interfere with proper
operation of the camera lens or iris. Also make sure there are no above ceiling
obstructions or rumbling air handling equipment close by (vibration). Mark the optimum
location on the tile.
