Be sure to check our pro tips to avoid pit falls and installation mistakes. The Dotworkz housing is great choice for the Axis HD camera for many reasons: it looks great when installed, versatile so you can add wireless or other products safely inside with the camera and best of all it is engineered to protect the camera better then any other product available. The process should take 10 minutes: | |||
 All the parts and tools Please read both Axis and Dotworkz manuals before beginning. Photo of hardware and components you will need to have the Axis P5534 installed into the D2 outdoor enclosure system. |  Prepare the camera Using the included Axis Torx screw driver unscrew all 8 bottom Torx screws (4 "outside" ones for the main cover plus 4 for smaller cables latch cover). |  Remove shroud After unscrewing, remove P5534 camera cover and open smaller cable latch. Set aside the main lower camera shroud as it is not going to be needed. |  Connect cables Attach the Dotworkz 5502-491 patch cable that will provide camera power; attach the RG45 connector of a CAT5 Ethernet cable to the camera; Feed both cables out their respective slots. |
 Reassemble latch cover Securely close the cable latch using the Torx screw driver again. |  Install Axis collar Attach the Axis P5534 camera collar to the Dotworkz universal camera mounting plate, making sure to line up correctly and tightening lock washers securely. |  Mount the standoffs You will need to use the 1.5 and the 0.75 inches standoffs on the 4 brass inserts on top of the D2 enclosure - DO NOT over tighten or cross thread the standoffs. |  Secure camera Twist-lock camera into collar while applying down pressure; line up the diamond mark as in this picture; Secure the camera plate to the standoffs using included 832 pan head screws. |
 Check camera fit Check camera install by carefully closing the D2 camera hatch and verifying clearance between camera and D2 lens: should be enough space between the clear dome and the camera to move freely. |  Using Dotworkz cable Remove the terminal block from Dotworkz 5502-491 cable: you will only use BROWN and RED wires. |  Correct poles Connect BROWN wire to (-) negative and RED to (+) positive on the MVP terminal. The BLACK wire is not used so we recommend isolating it with electrical tape. |  IP68 Cable glands Run CAT5 cable through existing D2 cable gland; Remove the plug and install an included second cable gland, making sure to seal it tight. Note: if using conduit be sure sealing to avoid water moisture. |
 External power source Have a qualified electrician connect an external power source to D2 terminal power block. See manual for more details. |  Tighten cable glands Make sure to have only one cable per gland and tighten them really shut to completely seal D2 enclosure from the outside. |  Close the D2 Close the enclosure and tighten all screws using a philips screw driver. The D2 can be mounted directly to a wall or to a pole mount adapter. |  Leave a drip loop Make sure to create a U shape drip loop with the cables to prevent water from pooling and possibily seeping inside. |
