junction box will be used on an outdoor installation.
If the camera will be installed outdoors and without a junction box to protect the cable
connection from rain or dust, use exterior-grade Ethernet cables (CAT5/CAT5e/CAT6) and
be sure to apply the waterproof installation, see Waterproof Cable Installation on page
