1 MIC 500 Series Camera Quick Start Guide
1.1 MIC 500 Series Camera Mounting Instructions
The upright unit can be mounted with the camera ball up or down.
For inverted units, first remove the four M3 x 6 screws fixing the rain shield to the face of the
camera, reverse the rain shield, reattach it to ensure that the rain shield is oriented correctly,
and then configure the camera for inverted operation. For further details of configuring and
reversing the controls for inverted units using the MIC Series Universal Camera Setup
Software (cam-set) or via the MIC 500 Series camera on-screen menu, please refer to the Help
and Instruction file in cam-set.
The MIC 500 Series camera, when canted, is designed only to be mounted ball up. The tilt
limits for the canted unit prevent it from working properly if mounted ball down. Do not
manually back drive the pan or tilt axis by hand. Back driving may strip teeth off the internal
gears and in so doing will void the warranty.
M8 Stainless steel nuts, bolts, and washers should be used to secure the base to the
mounting surface. Suitable sealant or the Nebar gasket may be used between the camera
base and the mounting surface.
Ensure that the 12-pin connector is located inside the camera base plug and that the lock ring
is tightened. Ensure that the base compartment containing the 12-way connector is moisture
proof. On inverted units, it is very important that the connector area is watertight to prevent
water pooling around the connector.

inserted into the power source.
WARNING!
Installation should be carried out by qualified personnel only in accordance with the
applicable local codes.
