Mounting on a Ceiling

Note: You need a #2 Phillips screwdriver, a hammer, and a drill for ceiling-mount installation.
Note: Mount the devices that have fans so that there is enough space for ventilation on the air-intake and air-exhaust sides to maintain the ambient operating temperature.
  • Only the ICX8100-C08PF model may be mounted to a ceiling.
  • The ceiling must be made of a hard material; it cannot be a suspended or drop-ceiling.
