Physical Description
Item
Description
1
Ethernet Port
Connects to a network using a standard Ethernet cable.
2
Audio Input
Connects to audio input devices, such as a microphone with
built-in amplifier, etc.
NOTE 1: The microphone must have a built-in amplifier.
Connecting an ordinary microphone will dwarf sounds and will
result in inaudible recording.
NOTE 2: If the audio connectors will not be used, leave the
rubber caps on to ensure cables remain waterproof and eliminate
short-circuit hazards.
3
Audio Output
Connects to audio output devices, such as a speaker, etc.
NOTE: If the audio connectors will not be used, leave the rubber
caps on to ensure cables remain waterproof and eliminate
short-circuit hazards.
4
Digital Input / Output
Connects to digital input or output devices, such as an alarm
trigger, panic button, etc. Digital Input (DI) and Digital Output
(DO) devices are used in applications like motion detection,
event triggering, alarm notifications, etc. See How to Connect
DI/DO Devices (Optional) on page 23 for information on how to
connect DI/DO devices to your camera.

Step 3: Waterproof and Connect the Cable(s)
The camera and the pre-installed network cable, “pigtail”, are resistant to salt, water, weak acid,
alcohol, oil, grease and other common solvents. However, users must ensure that the cable
connection and the network side cable itself are also protected from different environmental
factors.
For Ethernet connection, there are two waterproofing methods.
Bundled Accessory
Description
Cable Gland
Use this solution when connecting an Exterior-grade
Ethernet cable between the camera and a
Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) switch or injector. See How
to Use the Cable Gland on page 15.
Conduit Gland
Use this solution when connecting a standard indoor
Ethernet cable between the camera and a
Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) switch / injector. A flexible
conduit (trade size 1/2”) is required to house the Ethernet
cable. See How to Use the Conduit Gland on page 18.
NOTE: The flex conduit is not included in the package
and must be purchased separately.
Audio and digital input/output devices can be connected to the camera, for more information,
see Other Connections on page 23.

How to Use the Cable Gland
This section describes how to waterproof the cable-out or “pigtail” of the camera using the
bundled cable gland. An exterior-grade Ethernet cable is required. The camera may or may not
have to be installed first before doing the cable connections (see related installation
procedures for details).
Before connection, prepare the following materials:
Cable Gland
(included in the camera package)
Exterior-Grade Ethernet Cable
(not included in the package)
NOTE: Exterior-grade cables are already
waterproof. Not included in the package.
Washer
(included in the camera package)
Perform the following to waterproof the “pigtail” using the cable gland:
1. Disassemble the cable gland as shown below:

6. Connect the Ethernet cable connector to the “pigtail” connector.
7. Attach the gland body to the “pigtail”.
NOTE: Make sure the gland body is tightly attached to the “pigtail” and the washer is
secured between them.
8. Insert the sealing insert into the cable gland body and then attach the clamping nut to
complete the cable solution.
NOTE: Make sure the clamping nut is tightly attached to the cable gland body and the
sealing insert is squeezed tightly.
