This document provides an installation guide for mounting accessories compatible with VIVOTEK SD83XXE Speed Dome cameras. It covers various mounting options, including pendant pipe, pendant head, gooseneck, and parapet mount, along with their mechanical drawings and installation procedures.

Function Description:

The VIVOTEK SD83XXE Speed Dome Mounting Accessories are designed to provide flexible and secure installation options for VIVOTEK SD83XXE series speed dome cameras. These accessories allow for various mounting configurations, such as ceiling pendant mounts, wall-mounted gooseneck arms, and parapet mounts, catering to different environmental and architectural requirements. The system ensures that the camera can be positioned optimally for surveillance coverage while maintaining stability and protection for the camera's cabling and connections.

The accessories include:

AM-116/117 Pendant Pipe: Used for extending the camera from a ceiling mount, available in 20cm (AM-116) and 40cm (AM-117) lengths. These pipes facilitate overhead installation, allowing the camera to hang at a desired height for optimal field of view.
AM-118 Pendant Head: This component serves as the primary interface between the camera's top section and a pendant pipe or directly to a ceiling. It provides the necessary mounting points and internal space for cable routing.
AM-221 Gooseneck: A wall-mounted bracket designed to position the camera away from the wall, offering flexibility in camera angle and coverage. It's suitable for scenarios where the camera needs to extend outwards from a vertical surface.
AM-231 Parapet Mount: This mount is specifically designed for installation on parapet walls, allowing the camera to be securely attached to the top edge of a building or structure. It includes a pipe arm that extends over the parapet, providing a stable platform for the camera.
AM-519 Pendant Adaptor: This adapter acts as an intermediary component, connecting the camera's top section to the pendant head or gooseneck mount. It is often included with the network camera itself.

The installation process for each accessory involves determining a suitable mounting location, drilling pilot holes, securing the bracket or head, routing cables, and finally attaching the camera's top section. Special attention is given to cable management to ensure a clean and secure installation, protecting the wires from environmental factors and tampering.

Usage Features:

Versatile Mounting Options: The range of accessories (pendant, gooseneck, parapet) allows for installation in diverse environments, including ceilings, walls, and building edges.
Secure Attachment: All mounts are designed for robust attachment, using anchors, bolts, and screws to ensure the camera remains stable and secure after installation.
Cable Management: The designs incorporate features for routing cables internally through the mounts and pipes, providing a clean appearance and protecting cables from damage or tampering. This is crucial for maintaining the integrity of power, data, and I/O connections.
Alignment Stickers: Included alignment stickers simplify the process of marking drill hole positions, ensuring accurate and efficient installation.
Adjustability (Parapet Mount): The parapet mount allows for swiveling the pipe arm to the desired position before final tightening, offering flexibility in camera orientation.
Anti-Tamper Screws: The gooseneck mount utilizes T25 stardriver anti-tamper screws, enhancing security against unauthorized removal or adjustment of the camera.
Modular Design: The components are designed to work together (e.g., pendant head with pendant pipe and adapter), allowing for customized configurations based on specific installation needs.

Maintenance Features:

Durable Construction: While not explicitly detailed, the use of robust materials and secure fastening methods suggests a design intended for long-term outdoor or industrial use, minimizing the need for frequent maintenance due to wear and tear.
Accessibility for Cabling: The design allows for initial cable routing during installation. While not explicitly stated, the modular nature of the mounts might allow for easier access to cabling for future maintenance or upgrades compared to fully enclosed, non-modular systems.
