NETWORK CABLE INSTALLATION
When installing your AvertX Night Vision HD Indoor/Outdoor IP Dome Camera, it is 
important to consider how the network cable attached to the camera is arranged. 
•  If passing the cord through a wall or ceiling, drill a 3/4”” hole.
•  For outdoor installations, ensure the connection between your network cable and 
the camera jack is housed within a wall or indoors.
•  For outdoor installations, use silicone caulking to seal any holes in the wall or 
ceiling to protect against leaks.
