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.

2.1 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 /
function cable, 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.

2.3 Alarm I/O Connection

For indoor models, connect alarm devices to the first 4 pins of the camera’s
8-pin terminal block. For outdoor models, connect alarm devices to the 4-pin
terminal block of the All-in-One cable.
