Cable Guide Rubber:
Based on the installation environment, remove the rubber plug on the side of the camera’s bracket and
use the gap as a cable guide to prevent cables from getting caught between the camera and the
mounting surface, which can cause damage to the cables and prevent the camera from mounting flush
with the mounting surface.
