Mounting the unit
The unit may be mounted in several different ways depending on the type
of surface, whether an electrical box is used and whether the connection is
via the rear or the side (surface mounted).
If the unit is surface mounted, use the separately available raised mounting
base (VDA 455SMB) and mount the unit onto this base.
Tips

Refer to the dimensions drawing to find the exact position of the screw
holes and the entry hole for the wires. Partially screw in two screws for the keyholes and use them to
temporarily hang the camera while the connections are made.
The following figures show the different ways of mounting the unit.
