Usage Features:
- Versatile Mounting: The AM-231 mount supports both standard parapet wall installations and corner installations, providing flexibility for various architectural structures.
- Secure Installation: The mounting system utilizes sleeve anchors and M8 hex bolts, washers, and lock nuts to ensure a strong and stable attachment to concrete parapet walls.
- Cable Management: The AM5102 Dome Cap integrates a threaded tube end, allowing for organized and protected routing of camera cables through the mount's pipe arm. The design emphasizes pre-installation cabling to simplify the overall setup.
- Adjustable Positioning: The parapet mount allows the pipe arm to be swiveled outwards to the desired position before final tightening of the M8x25 hex bolts, enabling precise camera orientation.
- Alignment Stickers: Included alignment stickers assist in accurately marking drill hole positions for both standard and corner parapet mount installations, ensuring proper bracket placement.
Maintenance Features:
- Robust Construction: The use of durable materials and strong fasteners (M8 bolts, sleeve anchors) suggests a design intended for long-term outdoor use, minimizing the need for frequent maintenance due to wear and tear.
- Cable Protection: Routing cables through the pipe arm and the AM5102 Dome Cap helps protect them from environmental elements and potential damage, contributing to the longevity of the camera system.
- Installation Guide: The detailed installation guide provides clear steps and warnings (e.g., about twisting bolts to avoid cable damage), which, if followed, can prevent common installation errors that might lead to future maintenance issues.
- Component Replacement: The modular nature of the dome cap and mount components implies that individual parts could potentially be replaced if damaged, rather than requiring a full system overhaul.
