Weatherproofing the PoE Cable
1. Before terminating the RJ45 cable , slide it through the lock nut , the thick rubber gasket , and the
weatherproof endcap as shown. Ensure the notched side of the rubber gasket faces the endcap .
2. Terminate the RJ45 cable with a network plug .
3. Place the O-ring onto the end of the camera’s network interface socket with the flat side toward the
camera. Push it past the locking teeth as far as it easily goes.
4. Connect the RJ45 plug to the camera’s network socket .
5. Align the teeth on the weatherproof endcap with the gaps on the camera’s network interface socket ,
then insert the socket into the endcap. Twist until they click into position (the O-ring gives you a little
flexibility while still weatherproofing the connection).
6. Slide the thick rubber gasket into the weatherproof endcap , and secure it by screwing the lock nut 
tightly onto the endcap .
Prepare for Installation
1. Drill a cable hole and pilot holes for your screws in the mounting surface,
using the supplied template shown. The cable hole needs to be at least
1 inch wide.
2. CAUTION! Before terminating your RJ45 for an outdoor install, you
must weatherproof it! See the next page for how to weatherproof
your cable.
3. Attach power to the camera.
}If using PoE, attach the RJ45 cable to the connector.
}If using 12V DC for power, locate the red and black wire bundle
(on the 700, there are two sets of wires: one has red and black only,
the other is a bundle of eight). Attach the hot line to the red wire, and
the ground to the black wire.
4. For the 700 only: Connect the leads in the eight-wire bundle as shown for additional features. Secure all
other wires so they don’t cause a short circuit.

Set Up Port Forwarding
Port forwarding is typically found under the Applications & Gaming section of your router. Refer to your router’s
user manual for full details.
To complete port forwarding, you will need:
}the IP address of the camera, and
}the server and HTTP port.
You set these values on page 11.
Once you’ve finished, pointing your browser to your device’s URL (example: MyHome.WirepathDDNS.com) gets
you to the login page of your camera, no matter where you are. If you changed your HTTP port from the default
location (80), add a colon and the new port number to the URL (e.g., MyHome.WirepathDDNS:8042).
Set Up Dynamic DNS
DDNS allows you to connect to your surveillance system from anywhere, via the Internet, using a web address
that’s easy to remember.
Click on Basic Network Settings > DDNS.
Click the box labeled Enable DDNS, then choose a type from the DDNS Type drop-down
menu. We recommend WirepathDDNS. Next, choose a server address. We recommend
ns2.wirepathdns.com.
Enter your desired domain in the Domain box. This creates a personalized server address,
which is shown under Device URL.
If someone has already registered your desired domain, the system adds a unique ID
(typically two to four digits) to your domain.
If you do not like these digits, try another
domain or server address.
Example: If you choose the domain myhome
(as shown), your system’s URL would be
myhome.WirepathDDNS.com. If someone
already had claimed the myhome URL, then
your system’s URL would be something like
myhome13.WirepathDDNS.com.
Click Save to finalize the settings here.

Calibrate the Camera’s Clock
Click on System Settings > Time Settings.
Synchronize the Time
At the top, choose your time zone. North American time zones range from GMT-10:00
(Hawaii) to GMT-03:30 (Newfoundland).
By default, the system uses network time protocol (NTP) to synchronize your system to
Coordinated Universal Time. We strongly recommend using NTP to keep your system
well calibrated.
If you want to use manual time sync, or if your system is isolated from the Internet, see
the camera web interface manual (available online).
Disable DST if Necessary
If you are in a location that does not observe daylight saving time, click the Enable DST
checkbox to deselect it.
Click Save to confirm changes.
Create Users and Set Passwords
Click on User Management.
Change the Admin Password
Click on the admin account, then click Modify.
Passwords cannot be longer than 16 characters. If you are using an NVR, to ensure
compatibility with the NVR’s local interface, passwords can only contain numbers,
letters, spaces, and the following special characters: . , : - /
Use a password that is long and easy to remember. A password like parisinthespring is
much more secure and easier to remember than a password like D3x^7b.
Add Additional Users
Click the Add button. Enter the new account’s user name and password. Account names
can be up to 32 characters long. If you are using an NVR, to ensure compatibility with
the NVR’s local interface, user names should contain numbers and letters only.
We recommend that you add accounts by individual users’ names, so that you always
know which user is involved with any activity.
Choose the account’s level. There are two levels for users: operator and user. The only
difference is the default permissions they are given. You can customize permissions for
each account individually. See the camera web interface manual (available online on
your camera’s product page) for more details.
