Mounting the Camera

Note: It is highly recommended that you configure and test your camera before mounting it.

The DCS-4612EK, DCS-4614EK and DCS-4618EK can be installed on the ceiling or wall. The process is identical for both cameras.

  1. Use the included T10 or T15 screwdriver to unscrew the three screws on the dome cover and remove it.
  2. Press the sides of the plastic lining and gently lift it to remove the lining from the camera.
  3. Place the installation sticker on the ceiling or wall. Using a 4 mm drill bit, drill three holes 30 mm deep into the wall or ceiling. Drive the plastic wall anchors into the holes.
    1. Insert three mounting screws into the holes in the base of the device. Place the device against the mounting sticker and screw it in to attach it to the wall or ceiling.Three screws with rubber gaskets are provided with DCS-4618EK. To ensure waterproofness you MUST mount the DCS-4618EK with all three of the provided screws.
  4. Reattach the lining to the camera body by sliding it on until it clicks. Replace the dome cover and refasten the screws securing it in place
Adjusting the Lens

The angle, zoom and focus of the lens can adjusted using the web UI. For information on how to do this, refer to the User Manual.

Waterproofing Your Installation

To waterproof your camera, follow the instructions below. A round Ethernet cable, a crimping tool, and RJ-45 plugs are required for this procedure.

  1. Place the washer around the base of the Ethernet connector as shown.
  2. Thread the bare Ethernet cable through the waterproof connector as shown
  3. Attach an RJ-45 plug to the end of the cable using a crimping tool.
  4. Connect the RJ-45 plug into the Ethernet connector, then screw the waterproof connector to the Ethernet connector by turning it clockwise about one half-turn.
  5. Screw the back part of the waterproof connector clockwise until there is a tight seal around the Ethernet cable.
  6. The power connector and reset button cables are not waterproof. It is recommended to use waterproof tape to protect them. Wind the tape around each cable in an overlapping manner to cover them.
