How to Install Vaddio Mounting Adapter for Camera

Follow these straightforward steps to install the Vaddio Mounting Adapter for Camera and achieve a secure, professional setup:

• Prepare the mounting location: Ensure the selected ceiling or overhead area can support the combined weight of the camera, adapter, and any drop pipe system. Verify that the 1.5-inch pipe is clean and free of debris before installation.
• Attach to the pipe: Screw the adapter onto the standard 1.5-inch threaded pipe or compatible 1.5-inch NPT drop pipe. Use appropriate tools to secure the connection firmly, taking care to maintain alignment with the intended camera orientation.
• Mount the camera interface: Align the camera’s mounting hole with the adapter’s 1/4-20 screw. Begin threading by hand to obtain a stable engagement, then tighten with a suitable tool until snug. Avoid over-tightening to prevent threading damage.
• Position for optimal coverage: If using a Chief CMS drop pipe system or other 1.5-inch NPT pipes, adjust the adapter height and angle to achieve the desired field of view. Pause to verify line-of-sight, pan, tilt, and zoom ranges before finalizing the setup.
• Secure and test: Once the camera is mounted, re-check all fasteners for security. Power on the system and perform a quick test to confirm image stability, alignment, and any required calibration or alignment adjustments.
