Mounting Your CameraMan
You can mount your CameraMan Camera on any flat, non-slick, non-metal surface with a minimum supporting area of 8”x8” by
following these easy steps.
Step 1: Check your selected camera-location to ensure that you have enough camera and
cable clearance space (right) for the CameraMan to pan and tilt without
obstruction.
Note: Do not mount the camera upside down, or with more than a 10°
angle from horizontal.
Tip: See Appendix E: FIELD OF VIEW SPECIFICATIONS on page 18, to
assist in placing the CameraMan 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 correctly. 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 your 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 non-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 temperature and humidity specifications outlined in Appendix C:
CAMERA SPECIFICATIONS on page 16.
