No accessory necessary
On a pole
Behind screen (w/ bracket)
There are several ways the ECD can be mounted.
When placed directly on a surface, the ECD-1000 does not require any mounting accessory other than screws.
If a pole is present, such as one used as a pendant mount for the monitor, the ECD’s bundled accessory can be mounted on the pole directly.
A standard VESA mount can also be used to secure the device behind the monitor. Note that VESA mounts are sold separately by third-party vendors.

12. Q & A
Q: Do you have official PDF file for ECD1000? A: Yes. Datasheets can be found on the Partner Zone. Q: Will the ECD-1000 support Non-ACTi cameras? A: Yes. Non-ACTi cameras are supported from firmware version ECD-010-V AC. Please refer to ACTi “Third-party Camera Integration Validator” at Q: Can the BNC and HDMI ports show different video outputs? A: No. The output ports show identical video streams
Some questions and answers can be found on this page.
To summarize, the ECD-1000 datasheet can be found on the Partner Zone.
The ECD-1000 does support some Non-ACTi cameras from the version of ECD-010-V AC. For details, please refer to the Third-party camera integration validator on the ACTi website.
Finally, while the BNC and HDMI outputs can produce separate video streams concurrently, both streams must be identical. (It cannot stream different video outputs separately between the BNC and HDMI ports).
