Before mounting your camera, check the device model number and included contents against the packing list to ensure
components are complete.

Camera Structure

1. Camera Body

2. Pig-Tail Cable

3. Waterproof Connector Kit

Important

 Verify the bearing capacity of the mounted position
 Verify that the mounted position meets the bearing requirements. Otherwise, you are advised to reinforce the

mounted position for the device weight. For more information, see the product datasheet.

 Verify lightning protection and grounding requirements
 Ground the terminal properly.

Network Cable Installation

1. Insert the ③Network cable through the waterproof head kit (④/⑤/⑥/⑦).

2. Insert the Crystal head.

Cable Requirements

Network Cable

10/100 Mbps Ethernet CAT 5/5E/6 UTP cables are applicable to the ANSI/EIA/TIA-568A/B and ISO/D.
Eight wires in the network cable need to be inserted in parallel into the top of the cable connector. The cable connector
needs to be crimped in position. When the cable connector is in position, ensure that the metal pieces of the cable
connector are parallel to each other and the clamp of the cable connector is intact.
