Three mounting methods are available, as shown here. Confirm which side is the top and bottom of the camera when mounting; do
not mount the camera upside down. Consult an authorised dealer for mounting.

• Do not drive the screws into a soft material. Drive the screws into a secure area of the wall or ceiling, such as a column, other-

wise the camera may fall and be damaged.

•  Make sure you attach the safety wire when mounting the camera, to prevent the camera from falling.

• For BB-HCM715: The camera is intended for indoor use only and should not be mounted outdoors.
• For BB-HCM735: If you install the camera outdoors, the external microphone or speaker must be outdoor compatible.
• Use screws that are appropriate for the material of the wall or ceiling.
• The included screws are for use with wooden walls or ceilings only.
• To ensure that camera images are displayed properly, do not mount the camera on an incline. Mount the camera so that it is per-

pendicular to the floor. Do not mount the camera upside down.

• Mounting and cabling instructions described in this document follow generally accepted guidelines suitable for residential instal-

lations. In some areas, commercial and industrial installations are regulated by local or state ordinances. For such installations,
contact user’s local building department or building inspector for more details.

• Camera images can be viewed in relatively dark areas, however, image quality decreases when viewing dark images. We rec-

ommend using supplemental lighting for best results.

• Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or halogen light may damage the camera’s image sensor. Mount the camera appropriately.
• When mounting the camera, make sure to wrap the AC adaptor cord (if used) and other cables (external microphone or speaker

cable, video cable, etc.) around the hooks as shown to ensure secure connections.

• For BB-HCM715: To suit the area in which you will install the camera, you can attach the provided SD Card Cover (Hard type),

in order to help prevent SD card theft. (Not all forms of theft can be prevented.)

1. Screw the threaded mount into the stand/tripod mounting

hole.

2. Turn the grip firmly.

Wiring without making a hole for a cable in the ceiling or
wall
For BB-HCM735:
Before following the procedures below, we recommend passing
all cables (AC adaptor, LAN, audio/video, etc.) through a duct
(i.e., hose, tube, etc.) for proper waterproofing.

1. Secure the safety wire to the camera using screw A 

(included) and washer S (included).

•Make sure you attach the safety wire when mounting the 

camera, to prevent the camera from falling.

2. Remove the tab on the flexible stand. Then pass the cables

through the notch.

3. For BB-HCM715:

Connect all necessary cables (AC adaptor, LAN, audio/
video, etc.). Then skip to step 7.

For BB-HCM735:
Pass the cables through the connector cover, and then 
connect all necessary cables (AC adaptor, LAN, audio/
video, etc.). Attach the connector cover by fastening the 
two screws.

4. Attach the sunshade by fastening the two screws.

5. Wrap the cables in the included foam strip and insert the

foam strip into the opening of the connector cover.

• Leave about 10 mm (3/8 inches) of the foam exposed, as

shown.

6. Wrap the first 20 cm (7 7/8 inches) of the cables (starting

with the connector cover) using the included self bonding
tape. Make sure to wrap the opening of the connector cover
thoroughly (three or four times).

• Stretch the tape to twice its length when you wrap the

cables.

• Overlap the tape when you wrap the cables.

7. Attach the camera by screwing the threaded mount into the

stand mounting hole.

8. Mount the flexible stand firmly to the ceiling or wall with

screw B (included).

• Do not drive the screws into a soft material. Drive the

screws into a secure area of the wall, such as a column,
otherwise the camera may fall and be damaged.

• Use screws that are suited for the type of material the

camera is mounted to.

• Be careful not to nip the cables.
• Make sure the flexible stand is firmly mounted on a beam

of wood (25 mm [1 inch] and greater) etc. When there is
no beam, apply a board on the other side of the ceiling or
wall to make sure the camera does not drop.

27

9. Adjust the camera position and tighten the flexible stand

grip firmly.

• Confirm that the cords have been waterproofed and that

the portion of the cord protruding from the flexible stand
is wrapped in self bonding tape, as shown in (A) below.

10. Secure the safety wire to the ceiling or wall using screw B

(included) and washer L (included).

• Leave some slack in the safety wire, as shown.
• Make sure the safety wire is firmly mounted on a beam of

wood (25 mm [1 inch] and greater) etc. When there is no
beam, apply a board on the other side of the ceiling or
wall to make sure the camera does not drop.

• Make sure to waterproof the opening of the duct so that

water does not enter it.

For BB-HCM715 (INDOOR USE ONLY): Wiring through a hole
made in the ceiling or wall
Make a hole for cables in the ceiling or wall. Secure the safety
wire to the camera and pass the cables through the notch.
Then follow steps 7, 8, 9 and 10.

• Prepare anchors for 4 mm (3/16 inch) diameter screws for

mounting.

1. Place the flexible stand on the ceiling or wall where you

plan to mount the flexible stand and mark the points where
you are going to make holes.

2. Make holes with an electric drill. Insert anchors (customer-

provided) into the holes and push them inside the holes
with a hammer.
• Mortar ceilings or walls break easily when drilling. 

Be careful of pieces of mortar which may become loose

and fall.

3. Mount the flexible stand using the screws.
