Pre-Deployment In-Box Configuration
The camera comes equipped with an RJ45 configuration cable pre-installed for users that want to configure
camera settings before installing the camera. The RJ45 connector on the configuration cable is accessible
through the small flap on the side of the camera box for easy configuration before unpacking the camera.
Note:
We recommend that you do not exceed 3 hours of leaving your camera connected during in-
box configuration with ambient temperatures between 20 °C – 25 °C (68 °F – 77 °F).
1. Locate and open the flap on the side of the camera packaging.
2. Connect a network cable to the RJ45 plug on the configuration cable. The network cable must
provide PoE. IEEE 802.3af Class 3, to power the camera during configuration.
3. Connect to the camera using an ACC Client, the Camera Configuration Tool, or the camera's web
browser interface to configure the camera's settings. For more information about connecting to the

camera may be hot when handling it or removing from the packaging immediately after in-box
configuration.
