NETWORK CABLE INSTALLATION 

A 100’ Cat5e non-plenum UTP camera cable is included with your camera. It 

is important to consider how the network cable is attached to the camera. 
•  If passing the cord through a wall or ceiling, drill a 7/8” hole.
•  We recommend using the waterproof cable connector on all installations.
•  For maximum weather and tamper resistance in outdoor installations, 

place the connection between your camera cable and the camera jack 

within a wall or use a junction box available at avertx.com.

•  For outdoor installations, use silicone caulking to seal any holes in the 

wall or ceiling to protect against leaks.

• 

If your installation is in a commercial building, consult local fire codes. 

Plenum rated cable may be required.

WATERPROOF CABLE CONNECTOR

To use the IP66-rated waterproof cable connector: 

You do not need to re-terminate the cable to use the waterproof cable 

connector

.

 

•  Slide all pieces of the waterproof cable connector over the cable plug in this 

order: 
1.  Small plastic ring

•  Slide the rubber “O” ring over the camera plug screw and connect the 

camera cable to the plug on the dongle. Screw the large plastic ring into
