Man to achieve optimum optical views.
Step 2 Locate the zero-degree position mark labeled
FRONT on the bottom of the base unit. This mark
helps ensure that the base unit is calibrated cor-
rectly. Point this indicator mark in the direction that
best reflects the center of travel in which the camera
will be used (usually the center of the room).

Step 3 To ensure that the camera-mounting is not prone to
vibrations, securely fasten the camera to a rigid flat
surface using a 1/4”-20 UNC cap screw that does
not extend into the base platform by more than 0.4”.
(The screw hole is provided in the base platform for
this purpose. The cap screw is not provided.) This
screw should be hand-tightened. If necessary, use a
hardening threadlock to prevent the screw from
loosening.
Note: Be sure to take environmental conditions into
consideration when operating the camera. Always
operate the camera indoors, and follow the temper-
ature and humidity specifications outlined in Appen-
dix C: CAMERA SPECIFICATIONS on page 37.
