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 refer to the following sections for camera connection.
2.1 Power Connection
For power connection, please refer to section CONNECTORS. Alternatively, users can power the camera by PoE if a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) switch is available. Please refer to the section below for Ethernet cable connection.
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 / 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.
