The HD438IR camera can be installed directly
onto a wall or ceiling. Be sure that the structure is
strong enough to support the camera.

pre-drill holes for the mounting screws and,
if passing the cable through the ceiling or
wall, drill a 7/8” hole.
2. Thread your Cat5e camera cable through
the waterproof cable connector and connect
to the camera dongle. See reverse page for
instructions on waterproof cable connector.
3. Loosen the locknut on the camera bracket.
Aim the camera down to access screw
holes
4. Attach the camera base to the ceiling
or wall with the included screws. When
mounting on an outdoor wall, the cable
notch should be positioned downward.

the camera while adjusting view.

NETWORK CABLE INSTALLATION
A 100’ Cat5e non-plenum UTP camera cable is included with your camera. It
is important to consider how the network cable is attached to the camera.
• If passing the cord through a wall or ceiling, drill a 7/8” hole.
• We recommend using the waterproof cable connector on all installations.
• For maximum weather and tamper resistance in outdoor installations,
place the connection between your camera cable and the camera jack
within a wall or use a junction box available at avertx.com.
• For outdoor installations, use silicone caulking to seal any holes in the
wall or ceiling to protect against leaks.
• If your installation is in a commercial building, consult local re codes.
Plenum rated cable may be required.
WATERPROOF CABLE CONNECTOR
To use the IP66-rated waterproof cable connector:
You do not need to re-terminate the cable to use the waterproof cable
connector.
• Slide all pieces of the waterproof cable connector over the cable plug in this
order:
1. Small plastic ring
2. Flexible silicone seal ring. You will need to stretch the silicone seal
over the RJ-45 plug.
3. Large plastic ring
• Slide the rubber “O” ring over the camera plug screw and connect the
camera cable to the plug on the dongle. Screw the large plastic ring into
the dongle.
• Insert the exible silicone seal into the “crown” section of the large plastic
ring
• Screw the small plastic ring into the large plastic ring
