# Disconnect and Reconnect the CM41-S Video Cable

You can install the [CM41-S](https://docs.verkada.com/docs/Verkada_CM41-S_Split_Mini_Dome_Install_Guide.pdf) in ATMs and other space-constrained locations. The body of the camera and the lens are separated and connected via a video cable.

***

## How it works

The instructions below explain how to disconnect this video cable and reattach it once the camera is installed.

### Step 1: Properly ground yourself

Make sure that you are properly grounded as you will be around sensitive electronic components.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Electrostatic charge buildup is more likely to happen in a dry environment. Use an antistatic wrist strap to make sure you are grounded, as shown below.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**This is what you should see after the screws are removed.**

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Lift up on the side of the connector to detach the video cable connector.**

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Take care that the lens does not fall out of the mount. At this point, the video cable is detached, and the lens can be installed in the desired location.**
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### Step 3: Reattach the CM41-S video cable

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Once the camera is installed, you need to reattach the video cable. The cable connector pushes straight on, as shown below:**

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Attach the back cover of the lens, tighten the 3 screws, and the camera is fully installed.**
