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.
