Step 3: Waterproof and Connect the Cable(s)
The camera and the pre-
installed network cable, “pigtail”, are resistant to salt, water, weak acid,
alcohol, oil, grease and other common solvents. However, users must ensure that the cable
connection and the network side cable itself are also protected from different environmental
factors.
Using Waterproof Tape (for A31, A41 ~ A47, A415)
Regardless of the shape of the camera cable connector, the simplest way to waterproof to
connection is by using the waterproof tape.
Connect an Ethernet cable from the network side to the Ethernet port of the camera and wrap the
connection with waterproof tape 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.
