2. Camera Cabling
Before users connect cables, make sure that all cables and the power adaptor
are placed in dry and well-waterproofed environments, e.g. waterproof boxes.
The purpose is to prevent moisture accumulation inside the camera and
moisture penetration into cables, which might lead to camera breakdown.
Please follow the instructions below to complete IP Camera connection.
2.1 Connect Power
For power connection, please refer to section Connectors (Indoor Only) for
Indoor models, and see section Function Cables (Outdoor Only) for Outdoor
models. Alternatively, users can power the camera by PoE. For Indoor models,
use an Ethernet cable and connect it to the camera and a PoE switch. As for
Outdoor models, connect the Ethernet cable to the function cable of the camera
and a PoE switch.
NOTE: If PoE is used, make sure Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) is
in used in the network.
2.2 Connect Ethernet Cable
To have best transmission quality, cable length shall not exceed 100 meters.
Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the PoE Network connector of the
camera for Indoor models or the RJ-45 connector of the function cable for
Outdoor models. Then plug the other end of the cable to the network switch or
PC.
NOTE: In some cases, Ethernet Crossover cable might be needed when
connecting the IP Camera directly to the PC.
Check the status of the link indicator and activity indicator LEDs. If the LEDs are
unlit, please check the LAN connection.
Green Link Light indicates good network connection.
Orange Activity Light flashes for network activity indication.

2.4 Waterproof Cable Connectors (Outdoor Only)
Follow the instruction below to waterproof the connectors of different types of
cables. The supported cables are as shown below, from left to right are: RJ-45 &
DC 12V Cable, RJ-45 Cable, IP66 RJ-45 Cable 1 and IP66 RJ-45 Cable 2.
RJ-45 & DC 12V Cable
Follow the steps below to waterproof the connectors of the RJ-45 & DC 12V
cable.
Step 1:
Connect the required devices to the RJ-45
& DC 12V cable and coat the joints with
silicone gel. There should be no gap
between the connectors and the cables.
Step 2:
Seal the spot indicated in the figure on the
right with silicone gel. Make sure there is
no gap between the cables and the hole;
otherwise, waterproof function cannot be
guaranteed.

13
RJ-45 Cable
Follow the instruction below to waterproof the connector of the RJ-45 cable.
Plug the Ethernet cable to the connector
of the RJ-45 cable and coat the joint with
silicone gel. Make sure there is no gap
between the Ethernet cable and the
connector; otherwise, waterproof function
cannot be guaranteed.
IP66 RJ-45 Cable 1 / IP66 RJ-45 Cable 2
For IP66 RJ-45 cable 1 and IP66 RJ-45 cable 2, please use an RJ-45 IP66 plug
for connection to prevent water damage. Follow the steps below for cable
connection.
Step 1:
Loosen the thread-lock sealing nut on the RJ-45 IP66 plug. For IP66 RJ-45
cable 2, please take out the supplied connector from the RJ-45 IP66 plug first.
Then thread the Ethernet cable through the thread-lock sealing nut and the
RJ-45 IP66 plug. If the Ethernet cable is attached to a connector already, please
remove it first.
IP66 RJ-45 Cable 1
IP66 RJ-45 Cable 2
Step 2:
Carefully remove a section of rubber coating from the end of the Ethernet cable
to reveal the wires. Inset the wires to the correct pins of the connector. Plug the
Ethernet cable to the connector of IP66 RJ-45 cable 1 / cable 2.
