Installation and setup instructions 

Step 1.  Route wiring to the camera

Interface cables can be routed into the camera either through the adapter plate (through the mounting 
surface) or through the cable channel on the side of the camera. 

NOTE

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

bounce back onto the lens causing reflections.

•  Determine how interface wiring are routed into the camera. The cable can be routed 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. A weatherproof Ethernet Fitting is provided. 

• 

12 Vdc power input

 (optional if PoE powered, required if not): If powering the camera 

with a long power extension cable, refer to the tables at the end of this guide for wire gauge 
requirements. Voltage input at the camera can be within the range 12 Vdc ± 25%. 

1. 

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

2. 

If the camera is not powered using PoE, route 12 Vdc power cables from an adequate power 
source to the location where the camera will be installed. Voltage input at the camera can be 
within the range 12 Vdc ± 25%. 

Step 2.  Remove the Adapter plate

To remove the adapter plate: 
1. 

Set the camera base down on a clean surface.
