Mounting and Aiming Video Analytics Cameras
When installing an Avigilon video analytics camera, follow the listed mounting and aiming recommendations
to maximize the camera's analytics capabilities:
l
The camera should be installed above 2.74 m (9 feet).
l
The camera should tilt downwards no more than 45 degrees.
l
The camera image should be level with the horizon line.
l
The camera should be mounted to a stable surface to minimize the physical movement of the camera
after installation.
For more details, see Designing a Site for Video Analytics. The document is available on the Avigilon website.
Inserting Cables through the Sealing Grommet
Unless specified otherwise, you must pull the required cables through the sealing grommet included with the
camera when using a cable entry hole.
1. Remove the sealing grommet from the accessory kit.
2. Push an Ethernet cable through the grommet by one of the following methods:
a. If the Ethernet cable is uncrimped, push the cable through the grommet.
b. If the Ethernet cable is already crimped, place the grommet piercing cap on the Ethernet
connector then push the cable through the grommet.
Ensure that the orientation of the cable and grommet matches the one shown in the image.
3. Push any other required cables through the grommet.
Note: If you will pull multiple cables through the sealing grommet, apply silicone sealant to
seal any gaps in the grommet.
