Video Server Cabling
Before connecting cables, make sure that all cables and the power adaptor are
placed in dry and well-waterproofed environments, e.g. waterproof boxes. The
purpose is to prevent moisture accumulation inside the Video Server and
moisture penetration into cables, which might lead to device breakdown. Please
refer to the following sections for Video Server connection.
3.1 Connect
