2. Camera Cabling
Follow the instructions below to complete the cable connections.
2.1 Power Connection
For power connection, refer to section Connectors (Indoor Only) for the indoor
models and section All in One Cable (Outdoor Only) for the outdoor models.
Alternatively, users can power the camera by PoE if a Power Sourcing
Equipment (PSE) switch is available. Refer to the section below for Ethernet
cable connection.
NOTE: If PoE is used, make sure PSE is used in the network.
2.2 Ethernet Cable Connection
For the best transmission quality, cable length should not exceed
328 ft/100 meters. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45
connector of the camera, and plug the other end of the cable to the network
switch or PC.
NOTE: In some cases, an Ethernet crossover cable might be needed
when connecting the camera directly to the PC.
Check the status of the link indicator and the activity indicator LEDs. If the LEDs
are unlit, check the LAN connection.
Green Link Light indicates good network connection.
Orange Activity Light flashes for network activity indication.

2.3 Waterproof Cable Connector
Follow the instructions below to waterproof the connectors of different types of
cables. The supported cables are as shown below.
All-in-One Cable
for the Indoor Models
All-in-One Cable
for the Outdoor Models
IP66 RJ-45 Cable
(Outdoor Models Only)
All-in-One Cable of the Indoor Models/Outdoor Models
Follow the steps below to waterproof the connectors of the All-in-One cable.
Step 1:
Connect the required devices to the
All-in-One cable and coat the joints with
silicone gel. There should be no gap between
the connectors and the cables. For the alarm
I/O connector and the power connector
(outdoor models only), make sure the side
with wires attached is also sealed with
silicone gel.
Indoor Models
Outdoor Models
For All-in-One cable of the outdoor models,
attach the ground cable to the ground and
wrap the wires with silicone gel. Make sure
the wires are not exposed to the air.

12
Step 2:
Seal the end of the rubber coating of the
All-in-One cable as indicated in the figure on
the right. Be sure to use enough silicone gel
to fill in the hose and wrap around each wire
to guarantee waterproof function.
IP66 RJ-45 Cable (Outdoor Models Only)
For IP66 RJ-45 cable, use an RJ-45 IP66 plug for connection to prevent water
damage. Follow the steps below for cable connection.
Step 1:
Remove the supplied connector from the
RJ-45 IP66 plug. Loosen the thread-lock
sealing nut on the plug. Then thread the
Ethernet cable through the thread-lock
sealing nut and the plug. If the Ethernet cable
is already attached to a connector, be sure to
remove it first.
Step 2:
Carefully remove a section of rubber coating
from the end of the Ethernet cable to reveal
the wires. Insert the wires to the correct pins
of the connector. Plug the Ethernet cable to
the connector of IP66 RJ-45 cable.
Step 3:
Fasten the RJ-45 IP66 plug to the connector
of the IP66 RJ-45 cable. Lastly, tighten the
thread-lock sealing nut to the plug.
