2. Camera Cabling

Before users connect cables, make sure that all cables and the power adaptor
are placed in dry and well-waterproofed environments, e.g. waterproof boxes.
The purpose is to prevent moisture accumulation inside the camera and
moisture penetration into cables, which might lead to camera breakdown.
Please follow the instructions below to complete camera connection.

2.1 Power Connection

For power connection, please power the camera by PoE with a Power Sourcing
Equipment (PSE) switch. Refer to the section below for Ethernet cable
connection.

NOTE: If PoE is used, make sure PSE is in use in the network.

2.2 Ethernet Cable Connection

For best transmission quality, cable length shall not exceed 100 meters.
Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 connector of the camera,
and plug the other end of the cable to the network switch or PC.

NOTE: In some cases, Ethernet crossover cable might be needed when
connecting the IP camera directly to the PC.

Check the status of the link indicator and the activity indicator LEDs. If the LEDs
are unlit, please check the LAN connection.

Green Link Light indicates good network connection.
Orange Activity Light flashes for network activity indication.

2.4 Waterproof Cable Connector

Follow the instruction below to waterproof the connectors of different types of
cables. The supported cables are as shown below.

IP66 RJ-45 Cable

IP66 RJ-45 Cable

For IP66 RJ-45 cable, please use an RJ-45 IP66 plug for connection to prevent
water damage. Follow the steps below for cable connection.

Step 1:

Take out the supplied connector from the
RJ-45 IP66 plug. Loosen the thread-lock
sealing nut on the RJ-45 IP66 plug. Then
thread the Ethernet cable through the
thread-lock sealing nut and the RJ-45 IP66
plug. If the Ethernet cable is attached to a
connector already, please remove it first.

Step 2:

Carefully remove a section of rubber coating
from the end of the Ethernet cable to reveal
the wires. Inset the wires to the correct pins
of the connector. Plug the Ethernet cable to
the connector of IP66 RJ-45 cable.

Step 3:

Fasten the RJ-45 IP66 plug to the connector
of the IP66 RJ-45 cable. Lastly, tighten the
thread-lock sealing nut to the plug.
