How to install Vivotek AM-21C

• Plan and prepare — Identify the optimal location for camera coverage, taking into account line of sight, lighting conditions, and potential obstructions. Ensure the chosen surface can support the camera weight and mounting hardware you plan to use.
• Attach the bracket — Position the AM-21C mounting bracket on the selected surface. Use appropriate screws or anchors for the material (drywall, concrete, wood, or metal). Tighten securely to prevent any movement that could affect camera alignment.
• Integrate with a junction box (if used) — If your installation requires a junction box, align the AM-21C with the box and secure it using the provided hardware. Verify that there is ample space for cable routing and that the box remains accessible for future maintenance.
• Mount the camera — Attach the network camera to the AM-21C following the camera manufacturer's mounting pattern. Adjust tilt, pan, and rotation to achieve the intended field of view. Once the alignment is satisfactory, lock the fasteners to maintain angle stability over time.
• Route and secure cables — Use the bracket’s cable management features to guide power and data cables. Keep cables neat and protected, ensuring they do not interfere with the camera’s movement or with other equipment. Connect power and data lines according to your camera model and network requirements, then perform a functional test.
• Test and finalize — Power up the system, verify video feed clarity, verify recording and alert triggers, and re-check all fasteners after a brief test run. If necessary, fine-tune the camera’s angle and perform a final tightening to ensure long-term stability.
