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-AB1, ALI-AJ1 and ALI-AJ6 junction boxes are compatible with the camera. If using a junction box, 
connectors between the camera drop cable and extension cables should be stored within the box. 

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): Refer to the Specifications section 

of this document for voltage and current requirements. ALWAYS COMPLY WITH THE POLARITY 
SHOWN IN THE PICTURE ABOVE. 

• 

Ground

: A ground terminal is provided camera body for attaching an earth ground cable. See the 

photos above. Always ground the camera if it is installed in a moist or humid environment. Follow 
local electrical codes for proper grounding. 

NOTE

This camera includes the TVS 2000V lightning protection feature. To use this feature, refer to the  
TVS 2000V section at the end of this document for implementation guidelines. 

1. 

Route a LAN extension cable from a network switch or Network Video Recorder (NVR) to where the 
camera will be installed. 

2. 

If the camera is not powered using PoE, route 12 Vdc power extension cables from an adequate 
power source to the location where the camera will be installed. 

3. 

You can attach an earth ground extension cable to the junction box. Route the cable to the location 
of the junction box, if needed. Always follow local electrical codes when using an earth ground. 

CAUTION

Do not apply power to the camera at this time. Before applying power to the camera, ensure that 
the polarity is correct. An incorrect connection may cause a malfunction and can damage the 
camera. 

Step 2.  Install the camera

An ALI-NS2002R camera can be mounted directly to a wall or ceiling, or with a junction box. The surface 
should support at least four times the weight of the camera and junction box (if used). The video/power 
drop cable from the camera can be routed either through mounting surface or through a cable channel in 
the mounting base.
