2.3 Preparatory Steps
Before mounting the MOBOTIX D12 and (if required) the Outdoor Wall Mount (see
sections 2.9 and 2.12), the following questions should be solved:
• Which connections should the camera use (network/ISDN/RS232)?
• Where should the camera be mounted and which area should the PIR sen-
sor cover?
• How will you provide the camera power supply (PoE switch, inline using Net-
work Power Adapter/Rack, external power supply)?
• How will the connections be provided from within the building (network,
ISDN, RS232, power supply)?
• Which other mounting options (e.g. corner/pole mount) are required?
Make sure that you follow the instructions for mounting the camera to differ-
ent surfaces (see section 2.16).
2.3.1 Mounting to a Ceiling
When mounting the camera to a ceiling, make sure that the PIR sensor
points into the direction where it is most useful. The PIR sensor
reaches about 10 meters (33 ft) and has a field of view of ±15°. The
cable outlet should be positioned so that it is directly behind the
center of the camera housing.
