Remove the back from
the housing. The
mounting tray for the
camera is secured to
the housing back.
Position the camera
with lens on the tray
and secure it with the
mounting bolt which
threads into the
camera’s tripod socket.
Use a tool or coin to
tighten the mounting
bolt so the camera
bottom is flush against
the tray.
