SECTION 2: INSTALLING THE SYSTEM
Weatherproof cameras compatible with your DVR may have cables attached to the camera body and not routed through the camera
base. If these cameras are installed in a moist environment, a drip loop should be constructed in the drop cable such that moisture
will tend to flow away from the camera and drop cable connectors.

NOTE
Cable connectors are not weatherproof.
LAN/power cables can be run almost anywhere, and are frequently routed through attics or above drop/acoustic ceilings because
of the ease of installation. For added security, we recommend that you run your cables in areas with limited access to prevent
tampering. Avoid running the cable near high voltage appliances such as fluorescent lighting. Electrical noise and magnetic fields
produced by these devices may affect video and communication signal quality.
