forward with a 10 tilt.
The camera comes with two (2) glands used for waterproof installation: Cable gland and Conduit
Gland.
Determine the type of waterproof solution that is applicable to your installation requirements and
prepare the necessary accessories or purchase extra materials.
Installation using Naked Cable: This installation uses the supplied cable gland and an
exterior-grade Ethernet cable (not supplied).
Installation Using Flexible Conduit: This installation uses the supplied conduit gland
and a 3/8” flexible conduit (not supplied). This is the recommended solution if other
input / output devices or an external power adaptor will be connected to the camera.
