Installation Procedures Using the
Bundled Bracket
Step 1: Install the Bundled Bracket
1. Mark the location of the three (3) screw holes using the bracket plate included in the
package.
NOTE: Depending on the surface where you will install the camera, it may be necessary to
drill the holes and use the supplied screw tox.
2. Attach the plate to the surface using the three (3) supplied screws.
3. Attach the bracket to the plate.

Step 2: Attach the Sunshield
The use of sunshield is optional if the camera will be installed indoors. However, if the camera
will be installed outdoors, attach the sunshield to protect the lens from all types of weather and
lighting conditions.
1. Loosely secure the supplied screws and washers to attach the sunshield.
2. Slide to adjust the sunshield to cover the lens as far as possible but out of the camera’s
live view.
3. Tighten the screws to fix the position of the sunshield.

Hardware Manual
11
Step 3: Install the Camera
Before installing the camera, determine the most suitable method to waterproof the cable
connection (see Step 4: Waterproof and Connect the Cable on page 12). Some methods
may require the cable to be waterproof first before installing the camera to its bracket.
1. Depending on how you want to install the camera, attach the camera to the bracket
through one of the two (2) holes below:
2. Adjust the camera viewing angle and tighten the knob to fix the camera position.

Hardware Manual
12
Step 4: Waterproof and Connect the Cable
If the camera will be installed indoors, simply connect the network side cable to the camera
Ethernet port. No need to waterproof the cable connection. However, if the camera will be
installed outdoors, check the type of Ethernet port and follow the applicable procedures to
waterproof the cable connection.
Type of Ethernet Port
Description
Square-Shaped
There are three (3) ways to manage and waterproof
the square-shaped “pigtail”:
Using the Waterproof Tape, see page 13.
Using the Bundled Conduit Gland, see page
14. A flexible conduit (trade size ½”) is required
to house the Ethernet cable.
Replacing the Pre-Installed Square-Shaped ,
see page 19.

Hardware Manual
13
Using the Waterproof Tape
Connect an Ethernet cable from the network side to the Ethernet port of the camera to
complete the installation.
NOTES on using Ethernet cables: For outdoor installations, it is recommended to use
exterior-grade Ethernet cables (CAT5/CAT5e/CAT6); ordinary Ethernet cables are only
designed for indoor use and may deteriorate quickly when exposed to outdoor elements.
Exterior-grade Ethernet cables are waterproof and do not require a conduit.
CAUTION: If the camera will be installed outdoors, be sure to waterproof the cable
connection by enclosing it inside a junction box or wrap it using a moisture-sealant tape, such
as 3M PRODUCTS Core Series 4-1000 (not included in the package) or equivalent. See
example below.

Using the Bundled Conduit Gland
The camera and the pre-installed network cable are resistant to salt water, weak acid, alcohol,
oil, grease and other common solvents. However, in areas with fierce weather conditions and
those that can easily be flooded, ensure that the exposed length of cable is also protected.
It is recommended to use a flexible conduit with 1/2” diameter and the conduit gland (included
in the package) to protect the camera cabling. In this case, the pre-installed network cable with
“pigtail” (female connector) must be replaced with a standard Ethernet cable
NOTE: The flexible conduit and Ethernet cable are not included in the package and must be
sold separately. When purchasing, make sure the flex conduit size is 1/2" to match the bundled
conduit gland.
To do the waterproof cable installation, also prepare the following tools:
Screwdriver
Wrench

Step 1: Remove the Pre-installed Network Cable (“Pigtail”)
1. Loosen the three (3) screws to detach the back cover.
NOTE: A cable is connected inside the camera; do not abruptly pull the back cover.
2. Disconnect the network connector.
3. Remove the pre-installed cable gland and network cable using a wrench (not
included in the package).

Step 2: Prepare the Conduit Gland and Flex Conduit
1. Disassemble the bundled conduit gland as shown below.
2. Pull the Ethernet cable through the flex conduit.
3. Insert the clamping nut through the flex conduit.

3. Secure the clamping nut to the body.
NOTE: Make sure the clamping nut is tight to avoid possible water leak.
Step 4: Connect the Ethernet Cable
1. Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port inside the camera.
2. When done, close the back cover by tightening the three (3) screws.
NOTE: Make sure the rubber ring on the cover is secured and the screws are
completely tightened to avoid possible water leak.

Replacing the Pre-Installed Square-Shaped “Pigtail”
The pre-installed network cable comes with an Ethernet port (female connector), or known as
a “pigtail”. The length of the cable is around 14 ~ 35 cm (varies by model). The network cable
and gland are resistant to salt water, weak acid, alcohol, oil, grease and common solvents.
In case the installation environment requires a change of this network cable, follow the
step-by-step procedures in this section to do so.
To replace the pre-installed network cable, prepare the following:
Screwdriver
Ethernet cable without connectors
RJ-45 Connector (x2)
RJ45 Crimping Tool
NOTE: The above materials/tools are not included in the package.
