Step 4: Waterproof and Connect the Cable
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.
First, ensure that the pre-installed cable (from the area boxed in blue up to the connectors) as
marked below is routed downwards at all times after the installation. See examples below:
For Ethernet connection, there are two waterproofing methods.
