If you cannot mount the SharpZ3 camera using the available mounting hardware, you can create a custom solution using the camera's t-slots.
What you should know
- The custom mount you design must be safe, rigid, and all fasteners must provide vibration resistance.
- SharpZ3 fasteners are made of stainless steel. The hardware you use must meet or exceed the quality of the original SharpZ3 hardware.
- SharpZ3 cameras must be mounted at a specific angle for proper ALPR. When designing a custom mount for a SharpZ3 camera, you must consider the required camera angle, or ensure that the camera angle is adjustable after mounting.
T-slot mounting
You can mount the SharpZ3 camera using the two T-slots on the camera body.
IMPORTANT: Use both T-slots. Mounting the SharpZ3 by only one T-slot will damage the
camera body.
