For the best plug and play experience, we recommend working with a Samsara install partner.
Tip
Before installing a camera, it is recommend to discover it in the dashboard before completing the mounting. This enables you to identify any discovery issues ahead of final placement.
To install an SC11 camera:
-
Unbox the camera.
Each camera comes with a mounting plate and template, T10 Torx screwdriver, and additional hardware for installation.
The box will contain your camera’s serial number and mac address. Please make sure to save this information.
-
Gather additional equipment and resources that you will need to complete the installation.
-
After you have gathered the equipment, use your T10 Torx screwdriver to loosen the screws and lift the case off.
-
Connect your camera to the PoE network switch and verify the lights are on and the camera is getting power. If powered the red light will come on instantly, the green light will come on momentarily and flash on/off.
-
Mount the camera.
Using the mounting template, place template at desired location on wall or ceiling. Verify position of the holes on template so you will not be drilling into anything behind the wall or ceiling. Additionally, observe the following considerations for mounting placement:
-
We recommend mounting the camera 8+ feet off the ground.
-
Look out for any obstructions that may block the camera’s view.
-
-
Adjust the camera for the most optimal angle.
-
Adjust the Tilt Range between 0 ~ 75°.
-
Adjust the Pan Range (Base) 0 ~ 352°.
-
Adjust the Rotate Range (Aperture) 0 ~ 352°.
-
Adjust the Aperture Orientation.
Note
IR sensors should be on the bottom of the camera.
-
-
Mount the case back on and secure it using the T10 Torx screwdriver.
-
