P5415 Mounting hardware? Screw and anchor size...

[Shaggy D]

I've look all over Axis' site, Youtube. All show how to mark and drill the holes (EYEROLL) but none state what size screw or anchors are needed.

Even found this lovely manual with numbered callouts, but no TEXT and nothing referring back to details in any of the numbered steps.

Mainly depends on what kind of mounting surface your trying to fasten to. There are so many variables that Axis can't reliably recommend a fastener.
This camera is somewhat front heavy but I've never had one fall off a wall.
What are you mounting to?

Cinderblock, (hollow). Done already . I just decided to wait until being onsite until I determined the situation since a hardware store was only 7 minutes away.

3/8" holes, rigid plastic anchors, large washers and 2" screws did the trick. It was nice having the oversized holes in the brackets so I could fine tune the plumbness as I was tightening everything down. That camera was a nice package to work with by the way.

I like the P5415. There are many times a full 360 degree PTZ is not needed and it filled the need. Too bad Axis decided not to produce them any more.

I was doing work for a local government who likes to move slowly. They bought these new just over 5 years ago & are just now getting them hung and connected, HAHA. Building manager expects the IT dept might have them online in about 6 months
