Usage Features
The NDA-FMT-DOME is designed for straightforward installation and adaptability:
- Discreet Installation: Enables cameras to be recessed into the ceiling, offering a clean and unobtrusive look.
- Versatile Trim Rings: Comes with two different white trim rings (A and B) with varying inner diameters (102 mm and 98 mm respectively) to match different camera models and aesthetic requirements. These rings also feature different tooling hole positions on the sides of the recess mount, allowing for optimal camera fit and positioning.
- Secure Clamping Mechanism: Features clamping plates that secure the mount to the ceiling. These clamps are tightened using supplied screws and a #2 Phillips screwdriver, ensuring a firm grip on the ceiling material within the specified thickness range.
- Safety Tether Point: The recessed mounting bracket includes an additional safety tether point. This is a crucial safety feature, requiring a safety wire to be attached from a secure anchor point above the ceiling to prevent injury in case the primary mounting fails.
- Cable Management: Includes a crescent-shaped cut-out on the side of the mounting plate to facilitate routing of camera wires, ensuring a tidy and secure cable connection.
- Optional Suspended Ceiling Support: For installations in suspended ceiling tiles or surfaces requiring additional support, the VGA-IC-SP mounting kit (sold separately) is recommended. This indicates the mount's compatibility with various ceiling structures.
- Easy Camera Attachment: The camera base attaches to the recessed mount using M4 x 15 mm mounting screws. The trim ring's safety locking screws are then secured with the provided T-10 Torx wrench.
Maintenance Features
While the manual primarily focuses on installation, some aspects imply ease of maintenance:
- Removable Outer Housing: The installation process involves removing and reattaching the camera's outer housing, suggesting that the camera can be easily accessed for maintenance or adjustments once installed.
- Tool-Based Security: The use of a Security Torx T-10 L wrench for the trim ring's safety locking screws ensures that the camera and mount remain securely in place, deterring unauthorized tampering while allowing qualified personnel to access the camera for service.
- Clear Installation Instructions: The detailed, step-by-step instructions with accompanying diagrams simplify the installation process, which in turn can contribute to the longevity and proper functioning of the installed system, reducing the need for frequent corrective maintenance.
- Warning Against Overtightening: A "Notice!" regarding overtightening the ceiling clamps highlights a critical point for installation quality and preventing damage to the clamp or ceiling, which could lead to future maintenance issues if not followed. This emphasizes the importance of proper installation to minimize wear and tear.
The NDA-FMT-DOME is a robust and thoughtfully designed accessory for integrating Bosch cameras seamlessly into various ceiling environments, prioritizing both aesthetics and secure installation.
