If you need to frequently move or remove the cameras from the patrol vehicle roof, you can install the cameras using the universal mounting bracket and pan/tilt mount with a magnetic base.
Before you begin
What you should know
WARNING: Do not remove the silicone boots covering the
magnets. Genetec Inc. is
not responsible for scratches to the vehicle’s paint
caused by contact with bare magnets.
NOTE:
- The magmount uses extremely strong magnets and is is difficult to remove from the vehicle roof. To adjust the camera's position after it is attached, you can loosen the bolts rather than attempt to move the entire mount.
- The holding power of the magnetic mounting system depends on surface finish, surface flatness, and thickness of the steel mounting surface. Keep the mounting surface and magnets clean, dry, and free of foreign particles that would prevent full surface contact.
To complete these steps, you need the following:
- Socket wrench
- Phillips screwdriver
Procedure
-
Attach the pan/tilt/roll bracket to the magmount base using four hex bolts.
-
Attach the camera to the pan/tilt/roll bracket.
-
Verify that the roof of your vehicle is clean, dry, and free of debris, and then
place the mounted camera in the desired position on the patrol vehicle.
NOTE: To reduce the chance of the vehicle roof being visible in the license plate images, select locations that are as close as possible to the corners of the roof.
