Step 2: Connect and Manage the Cable
The camera and the pre-
installed network cable, “pigtail”, are resistant to salt, water, weak acid,
alcohol, oil, grease and other common solvents. If the camera will be installed indoors, simply
connect the network side cable to the camera Ethernet port.
However, if the camera will be installed outdoors, ensure that the cable connection and the
network side cable itself are also protected from different environmental factors. Use the
bundled cable gland or simply use a waterproof tape to protect the cable connectioin.
