Step 3: Route the Cables
Determine whether the cable will pass through a hole on the surface or be routed along the
surface:
If the cable will pass through a hole on the surface:
1. Drill the hole for the cable on the surface.
2. Route the cable from the network side through the hole and connect it to the Ethernet port of
the camera.
NOTE: If the camera will be installed outdoors or in places wherein environmental factors
change drastically, make sure to waterproof the cable connection; see Step 5: Waterproof
the Cable Connection on page 16 for instructions.
3. Push the cable through the the hole on the surface.
If the cable will be routed along the surface
1. Pull the tab to slide it off from the dome cover.
2. Route the camera cable through the gap on the camera cover.
Drill cable hole
within this block.

Depending on the camera model, the Ethernet cable or the “pigtail” of the camera may either
have the RJ-45 connector.
RJ-45 Ethernet Cable
When using the RJ-45 Ethernet cable, follow the procedures below to waterproof the cable
connection:
1. Detach the cable gland as shown below.
2. On the network side cable, insert the clamping nut through the Ethernet cable.
3. Insert the sealing rubber and claw through the Ethernet cable.

4. Make sure the bundled rubber ring is completely aligned on the gap on the gland body.
5. Attach the gland body to the Ethernet port of the camera.
IMPORTANT!
Make sure the rubber ring is completely aligned and flat on the gland body to avoid
possible water leakage.
6. Connect the RJ-45 connector of the network cable to the Ethernet port of the camera.

Hardware Manual
