how to install AXIS TQ3102 Ceiling Mount for Network Camera

how to install AXIS TQ3102 Ceiling Mount for Network Camera

• Prepare the installation site by selecting a sturdy ceiling point capable of supporting the combined weight of the camera and mount. Use proper ceiling anchors or a mounting structure that meets building codes and AXIS installation guidelines.
• Attach the TQ3102 mounting plate to the ceiling using the provided hardware. Ensure the plate is level and securely fastened to minimize vibration and movement, which can affect image stability and camera alignment.
• Route the network and power cables through the pendant’s internal cable path. Use the designed gland or conduit openings to protect cables and maintain a clean appearance, reducing exposure to wear and accidental damage.
• Mount the AXIS Q38 Series camera onto the pendant plate or compatible adapter plate as per the camera’s installation instructions. Align the camera with your desired field of view, then secure it firmly to the pendant mounting hardware to prevent drift over time.
• Adjust tilt and rotation to achieve optimal coverage. Perform a thorough check of the camera’s coverage area, then tighten fasteners to lock in the settings. Power up the system and verify video feed, focus, and exposure, making any minor refinements as needed.

Important installation notes

• Always follow local electrical and building codes during installation. If you’re unsure about structural integrity or electrical connections, consult a qualified professional.
• Test the entire installation for stability and cable integrity after mounting. Periodically inspect the pendant kit to ensure fasteners remain secure and cables are free from wear.
• Keep the camera’s field of view unobstructed and avoid mounting near heat sources or sources of EMI (electromagnetic interference) to preserve image quality and system reliability.
• Store and manage cables neatly to prevent accidental disconnections during maintenance or cleaning activities.

Maintenance and care

• Periodically inspect the pendant mount for signs of wear or loosening hardware. Re-tighten as needed to preserve alignment and stability.
• Clean the exterior surfaces with a soft, non-abrasive cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the finish or insulation of cables.
• Verify camera alignment after any room reconfiguration or repositioning of nearby fixtures to ensure continued optimal coverage.
