Install Kit

Your HALO Install Kit mounts to a wall for a permanent spot. This guide covers what's in the box, choosing fasteners, and mounting your HALO.

What's in your box

Cover

HALO body

Cover

Wall mount

Cover

6.5' power cord

You'll also need fasteners. Because we don't know your wall type, fasteners aren't included. Pick them up at most hardware stores using the guide below, and always follow the instructions that come with your fasteners.

Surface
Into wood studs
Into metal studs / anchors

Drywall

#10 wood screws, 1¼" or longer

#10 toggle bolts, 1¼", rated 50+ lbs

Plaster

#10 wood screws, 2" or longer

#10 toggle bolts, 2", rated 50+ lbs

Masonry

Any 3/16" x 1¼" masonry anchor, rated for hundreds of lbs. A hammer drill makes it easier.

Mounting to something else? Research your surface type and choose fasteners rated for 50+ lbs. When mounting to drywall or plaster, always find and use a stud, with anchors for the other half of the mount.


Mount your HALO

Cover

1. Mark the location

Use the wall mount plate to mark your fastener positions. We recommend about 5 feet (1.5 m) high.

Cover

2. Secure the wall mount

Hang the mount following your fasteners' instructions. Make sure it's fully tightened and secure.

Cover

3. Insert the power cord

The cord goes into the back of the HALO, so plug it in before mounting.

Cover

4. Mount the HALO

Guide the silver pin on the back of the HALO into the wall mount's receptacle until it is no longer visible.

Cover

5. Secure the HALO

Lock the equipment in place using the wall mount's securing screw (1).

Cover

6. Insert the iPad

Pull the faceplate off using the side tabs near the top, then rotate the interior swivel tabs fully behind the iPad to secure it. That keeps the camera’s view clear.

Cover

7. Plug in the iPad and replace the faceplate

Hold the bottom of the enclosed iPad near the bottom of the HALO body and plug in the USB-C connector (1). Then align the faceplate and let the magnets snap it into position, making sure the USB-C cable isn’t caught underneath.

Cover

8. Power on

Plug the power cord into the wall and flip the bottom-back switch (1) to power on.

Cover

9. Adjust lighting and exposure

Set HALO's brightness with the side knob (1), then fine-tune exposure and other camera settings in the app's Mission Control.
