Step 5: Connect and Manage the Cables
The camera and the pre-installed network cable, “pigtail”, are resistant to salt, water, weak acid,
alcohol, oil, grease and other common solvents. If the camera will be installed indoors, simply
connect the network side cable to the camera Ethernet port.
However, if the camera will be installed outdoors, ensure that the cable connections are protected
from different environmental factors. Use the bundled cable gland to protect the Ethernet
connection and use a waterproof tape to protect other cable connections. For other cable
connections, such as a power adapter and input or output device, see ** for more details.
How to Use the Cable Gland
This section describes how to waterproof the Ethernet cable using the bundled cable gland.
Before connection, prepare the following materials:
 An exterior-grade Ethernet cable without the RJ-45 connector
 RJ-45 connector
 Crimping Tool
 Scissors
Perform the following to waterproof the cable connector using the cable gland:
1. Attach the washer to the Ethernet connector of the camera.
2. Detach the clamping nut from the cable gland:
