Frequently Asked Questions - Fusion FCA810V Chief

What is included in the Chief Fusion FCA810V kit?

The kit includes mounting brackets (main, upright, support, horizontal), camera mount, hardware (screws, washers, nuts), USB hub, USB cables, speakerphone, and a camera (Logitech Webcam C930e). The FCA810VE variant also includes an extender box.

Can I mount a television or computer monitor on the FCA810V?

No. The FCA810V is designed only for video conferencing cameras. Placing video equipment like a TV or monitor on the mount is dangerous and will void the warranty.

What tools are required for installation?

You will need a hex-head wrench, Phillips screwdriver, and an open-ended wrench. Sizes are specified in the manual (e.g., 1/4-20 hex key).

Can the mount be installed above a display?

Yes. The manual includes instructions for both above and below display installations. The camera mount can be flipped accordingly.

What is the maximum extension distance?

The maximum extension from the mount center is 29.1 inches for wall mounts and 30.8 inches for cart/ceiling mounts (FCA810VE). Minimum extension is 16.1 inches.

Is the mount compatible with Mac computers?

Yes. The system requires Mac OS X 10.7 or higher, with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 2 GB RAM. The camera appears as 'Logitech Webcam C930e'.

Does the mount include a USB extender?

The FCA810V includes a 10-foot USB cable and a 4-port USB hub. The FCA810VE includes an extender box pair for longer distances (CAT5 cable not included).

How do I adjust the height of the camera?

Loosen the hardware connecting the main bracket to the upright bracket, slide to desired height, then tighten. For above-display installations, it is recommended to rest the mount on top of the display.

Can the camera be offset to one side?

Yes. The horizontal bracket allows offset mounting. Use the carriage bolts and lock nuts to secure the camera mount to the horizontal bracket at an offset position.

What should I do if I need spare parts?

Contact Chief (Milestone AV Technologies) for replacement hardware. The manual includes a parts list with part numbers. Do not use non-authorized parts.
