Prepare Drywall Ceiling for Installation
1. Choose the desired location to mount the camera.
2. Use the bracket Base Plate as a template to cut a 7.1 in. hole with a tolerance of ±1/8 in.
(180.34 mm ± 2.2 mm) in the ceiling with a drywall utility saw or Jig Saw. Proceed to Wire
the Interface Box, page 61, for further instructions.
Prepare Suspension Ceiling for Installation
You must use the VGA-IC-SP In-ceiling Support Kit to install the camera In-ceiling housing into
a suspended or drop ceiling. This kit requires a separate purchase.
1. Choose the desired location to mount the dome, and remove an adjacent ceiling tile.
2. Loosen the four (4) securing screws, located in the corners of the Bracket Assembly,
enough to hold the suspension bars but still allowing adjustment during installation.
3. Place the Bracket Assembly over the ceiling tile, which is used to mount the camera. Then
snap the Bar Clips of the bracket to the ceiling rails.
