Cabling Notes
Use Cat-5e or better cable. Cat-6 or Cat-7 cabling allows longer maximum cabling distance, and may
provide better performance in noisier RF or EMF environments. We recommend shielded cabling if the
cables will be coiled, run tightly with other cables, or routed near sources of electromagnetic interference
such as power lines or fluorescent light fixtures. When in doubt, use shielded Cat-6 cable or better.
Caution
When making cables for Vaddio products, do not use pass-through RJ-45 connectors. If
they are crimped incorrectly, they can damage the connectors on the product, cause
intermittent connections, and degrade signal quality. Physical damage to the connectors
will void your warranty.
Intact
– Contact fingers will make
reliable contact with the cable
connector
Damaged
– Some contact fingers
are bent and will NOT make
reliable contact with the cable
connector
We recommend using high-quality connectors and a high-quality crimping tool.
Caution
Check your cables. Connecting a cable to the wrong port or using the wrong pin-out can result in equipment
damage and will void the warranty.
Pro Tip
To prevent tragic mishaps, label both ends of every cable.
Functional Check
Before you install the camera, you may want to verify functionality.
1. Connect the camera in its minimum functional configuration.
2. Connect power. The camera moves, the indicator light turns blue, and video is available on the
connected display.
3. If the camera turns on and sends video, continue with the installation.
