Installation 

Before installation: 

• 

Make sure that the device is in good condition and all the assembly parts are included.

• 

Check the specification of the products for the installation environment.

• 

Make sure that the wall or the ceiling is strong enough to withstand 3 times the weight of the camera.

• 

To avoid fire or shock hazard, use only UL listed power supplies. Verify that the power supply will 
provide the rated voltage and wattage for the camera. See the 

Specifications

 section. 

Step 1.   Mounting the camera

A NB8 camera can be mounted directly to a wall or ceiling. The surface should support at least three times 
the weight of the camera and junction box (if used). The LAN/power drop cable from the camera can be 
routed either through mounting surface or through a cable channel in the mounting base.

Typical ceiling mounting

NOTE

If mounting the camera on a wall, ensure that the cable channel in the mounting base is down. 
If mounting the camera on a ceiling, orient the mounting base so that the cable channel is pointing 
away from any source of water, dust, and other contaminates. 

1. 

Using the drill template provided, mark the location of the screws that anchor the mounting base 
to the mounting surface. See the note above. If you are routing the drop cable through mounting 
surface, also mark the position of the hole for the drop cable. 

2. 

Drill holes for the screws that anchor the base to the mounting surface. The mounting hardware 
provided is appropriate for most surfaces. However, depending on the surface materials, more 
appropriate fasteners may be required. 

3. 

If routing the drop cable through the mounting surface, drill a 5/8” hole in the middle of the drill 
template. 

4. 

Route the drop cable through the hole in the mounting surface, or through the cable channel in the 
mounting base, then attach the camera assembly to the surface using the appropriate fasteners. 

5. 

Connect the network LAN and power extension cables to the camera drop cables: 

a. 

Connect the Ethernet LAN cable to the camera LAN drop cable. Protect the connection from 
moisture and other contamination, if necessary. A Weatherproof Ethernet Fitting is provided. 
Installation instructions for the fitting are included later in this document.

WARNING

!

Drop cable connectors are not waterproof. 

Failure of the power or Ethernet connector 

due to moisture or another contaminant is considered an installation error, 
which voids the warranty. If installing this camera in a location such as an 
overhang, shop, garage, kitchen, etc. where high humidity or dust is present, 
seal these connections adequately. 

b. 

If the camera is not powered using PoE (Power over Ethernet injector), connect the 12 Vdc 
power cable to the camera drop cable. The polarity of the drop cable connector is shown in 
the drop cable photo above.
