Step 1.  Route interface cables to the camera

Ethernet and power interface cables connect directly to the camera drop cable (see photo above). A ground 
terminal is provided on the mounting surface side of the camera base (see photo above). 

The ALI-AF4 junction box is compatible with the camera. If using this junction box, all connecting cables 
should be routed into this junction box and attached to the camera within it. 

NOTE

When selecting a mounting location for the camera
•  Make sure that there are no reflective surfaces near to the camera lens. IR light from the camera may 

bounce back onto the lens causing reflections.

•  Determine how wiring is routed into the camera. The cable can be routed through conduit (a 

threaded conduit adapter is provided), through the mounting surface and access hole in the 
mounting plate, or through the side inlet. 

The camera includes connectors for the following: 

• 

Ethernet

 (required): The Ethernet drop cable can connect to a LAN extension cable from a switch 

or Network Video Recorder. The camera can be powered across the LAN using power over Ethernet 
(PoE) injection. See the 

Specifications

 section at the end of this document for power requirements. 

• 

12 Vdc power input

 (optional if PoE powered, required if not): 12 Vdc drop cable includes 

screw-down connectors, with the polarity embossed on the cable. ALWAYS COMPLY WITH THE 
POLARITY INDICATED. Voltage input at the camera must be within the range 12 Vdc ± 25%.
