WIRING CONNECTIONS

WARNING: Make wiring connections only after it has been determined that power has
been disconnected. Use either a 12VDC regulated power supply (C12DCR-500
recommended) or a 24VAC power supply (C24AC recommended). For 12VDC power
input, determine the polarity prior to connection to the camera. Failure to do so could
lead to permanent damage to the device and void the warranty.

NOTE: A BNC connector (included) can be crimped to the WHITE and GREEN video
signal wires using the supplied butt connectors.
