For cabling and configuration details with each network camera, please refer to their documentation.

NOTE:

1. The AM-522 is necessary when installing the AM-712 mounting cap to VIVOTEK's standard mounting options such as AM-212 (wall mount bracket) and AM-221 (gooseneck).
   The AM-522 features the mounting option for NPT pipes only.
2. Route cables before you secure the accessories to a wall.
3. For details on the cable connections with each camera, please refer to their Quick Installation Guide.

The following mount types do not apply to PT pipes.

III-1. Installing Camera to Conduit Box

Refer to the matching table on page 4 for the mounting hole information for your camera.

1. Remove the base plate from the bottom of the conduit box.
2. You can route cables through other accessories before you install cameras to the base plate.

1. Orient and install the camera to the base plate (to the side with printed characters).
2. Connect cables to the camera.
3. Install the base plate to the conduit box.
4. Proceed with initial setup such as enabling network access, focus tuning, or zooming. When done, secure the outer dome cover.

III-2. Installing the Pendant Head and Pipe

Below are the sample procedures using a pendant head and pendant pipe:

1. Determine a hard surface ceiling location, and use the alignment sticker to mark the positions where holes will be drilled to secure the pendant head. Hammer the anchors into the ceiling.

Note that mounting holes should be 10mm in diameter and 60mm deep. The included screws are M6.2 x75mm.

NOTE:

This mount type applies to NPT pipes only.

For NT pipes, fixture on the other end should be handled by users.

1. Install an NPT or PT male thread pipe (length determined by installers) by turning it clockwise to the pendant head, and secure the connection using an included 3mm hex wrench.

1. Route Ethernet cable and other wires through the pendant head. You may apply a 1 inch conduit.

Note that when routing Ethernet cables, please make sure you have tagged the cables as PoE input (coming from a PoE switch), or PoE output (one that transmit data and power to the next conduit box).

1. Secure the pendant head to ceiling by driving screws through its mounting holes. Depending on the length of your cables, you may need the help from your colleague for holding the components.

III-3. Installing the Conduit Box and PoE Extender

1. Pull cables through the NPT pipes and then the conduit box.
2. Install the conduit box to the NPT pipe.
3. When done, install the PoE extender by driving 2 screws to the conduit box, its connector side facing the inside of the box.

You Connector side VIVO TEK

You may use cable tags to identify PoE cables.

1. In a cascade topology, there should be 2 Ethernet cables in the pipe. One is used as PoE input, the other as the out port to the next conduit box.

PoE OUT to another conduit box PoE IN PoE OUT to camera VIVOTEK

1. Pull the Ethernet cable (and/or I/O wires) through the cabling hole on the base plate.
2. Orient the alignment notch with the tab on the conduit box.
3. Secure the base plate along with the camera to the conduit box.

To Camera LAN port Alignment Notch

1. Install the camera's dome cover.
2. Proceed with initial setup such as enabling network access, focus tuning, or zooming.
