Mount PTZ Corner Bracket

The PTZ corner bracket (BSM-PTZ-CRBCK) lets you install a Bascom PTZ camera on an external building corner. This gives the camera a wide view along both walls. The bracket is sold separately from the camera and comes with all the screws and wall plugs you need.

 

Warning: Ensure that the wall is thick and strong enough to withstand more than 8 times the combined weight of the PTZ camera, wall mount and corner bracket.

 

What you need

  • PTZ corner bracket BSM-PTZ-CRBCK (sold separately; includes all screws and wall plugs)
  • Bascom PTZ camera with its wall mount arm (supplied with the camera, not with the bracket)
  • Drill, spirit level, pencil, screwdriver or wrench
  • A ladder or work platform

 

Step 1: Attach the PTZ wall mount bracket to the bracket

Wall mount aligned with the four holes marked 1 on the corner bracket
  1. Find the 4 holes marked 1 on the center plate of the bracket.
  2. Line up the wall mount with these holes and fix it with the 4 screws.
  3. Tighten the screws firmly.

Do this on the ground. The screws are hard to reach once the bracket is on the wall.

 

Step 2: Mark the drill holes

Bracket held against the corner with a spirit level, all eight holes marked with a pencil
  1. Hold the bracket against the corner at the chosen height, with both wings flat on the walls.
  2. Check with a spirit level that the bracket is straight.
  3. Mark all 8 drill holes: 4 in each wing.

Step 3: Drill the holes and insert the wall plugs

Eight drilled holes in the walls, a wall plug being inserted
  1. Drill the 8 holes at the marks.
  2. Clean out the dust and push a wall plug into each hole until it is flush with the wall.

Step 4: Route the cables and fix the bracket

Cable passed through the opening in the bracket, bracket screwed to both walls

Pull the network cable through the oval opening in the bracket and through the wall mount.

  1. Place the bracket over the wall plugs and screw it to both walls with all 8 screws.
  2. Check that the bracket does not move.

Step 5: Mount the camera

PTZ camera lifted into the wall mount
  1. Connect the network cable to the camera's cable. Use the waterproof cable connector outdoors.
  2. Lift the camera into the wall mount and secure it as described in the PTZ installation manual (PDF).
  3. Tighten the locking screws.

Step 6: Check the installation

  • The bracket and wall mount do not move when you push on the camera.
  • The camera hangs straight.
  • The camera can pan and tilt through its full range without pulling on the cable.
