3 Cable Connection for External Device Network cameras can be connected with external devices such as PTZ, audio/video devices and alarm devices. This chapter introduces the features of various cables and wiring for them.
Figure Name Description Mounting Requirements Network cable Connects to Ethernet copper interface During network cable installation, use the cable that compliances with 568B. And it is recommended that the length of one cable is less than 100 m. When making a network cable, crimp the inner wires to attach the connector properly. LC optical fiber connector Connects to Ethernet optical interface (for SFP module) - Grounding Cable Ground the device to keep away the external interference.
Wiring Keep strong-electricity cables (for example, power cord) at least 30 cm (11.81 in) away from weak-electricity cables (for example, network cable and audio/video cables). Connect the cables correctly. Wrong connection may damage the device. You can attach labels on the cables for easy identification to avoid wrong connection. Use the power adapter delivered with the product. Power adapter with poor quality may damage the device.
3dB, the transmission distance of SYV-75-5C is no more than 200 m (656.168 ft), and that of SYV-75-7C is no more than 300 m (984.252 ft). For more information about cable length that an encoder supports, see the actual specifications of the product. NOTE! Coaxial cables include SYV-75-3, SYV-75-5, SYV-75-7, and SYV-75-9. For example, one coaxial cable is named as SYV-75-5-1 (A/B/C).
Power Cable Data listed in the table below is applicable to copper cables that use 24 VAC power supply. The item Core Diameter indicates the conductor diameter.

Category-3 and higher cables that meet the overall cabling standards.
Alarm Cable Twisted pair cables are recommended. The cable should range from 22 AWG to 28 AWG (24 AWG and 26 AWG are recommended). The direct current (DC) impedance must not be more than 100 ohm. The following table shows the maximum length for different cables, taking 100 ohm as the maximum impedance. Table 3-6 Maximum Length for Different Alarm Cables Specifications (AWG) Maximum Length (m) 22 1453 m (4767.06 ft) 24 914 m (2998.69 ft) 26 570 m (1870.08 ft) 28 360 m (1181.
When mounting the tail cable unit, ensure that the optical fiber is not clamped by the device. Otherwise, the optical fiber could be damaged. Avoid excessively bending the optical fiber during mounting. If the optical fiber is too long, coil the optical fiber. Ensure that the coil diameter is greater than 60 mm and the curvature is greater than 90 degrees. Select a high-quality fiber connector.
Ground Wire The ground wire should be no longer than 30 meters (98.43 ft.), and its impedance must be less than 5 ohm. For more information, see the YD5098 standard. Cable Connection Connecting to PTZ Cameras through an RS-485 Port in PTZ Control Mode The wiring for other cameras are similar, the following takes box camera as an example.
Connecting to a Third-Party Device through an RS-485 Port in Transparent Channel Mode The wiring for other cameras are similar, the following takes box camera as an example. When using an RS-485 cable with an RJ-45 connector to connect to a third-party device, you can connect the RJ-45 connector to the third-party device cable as follows: Twist T+ and R+ of the RJ-45 connector and connect them to the RS485+ of the third party device cable.

4 Lightning Protection and Grounding IP cameras are generally installed outdoors, which is why lightning protection is of great importance. When the camera is installed in extreme environment, you should take related lightning protection measures. This chapter introduces how to perform lightning protection measures for a camera mounted outdoors by installing a protection box, grounding the device properly.
Cameras must be installed in the protection area of the discharging rod, for example, you can place the discharging rod 3 or 4 meters away from the camera. Cable Protection Route the cables carefully to protect them. It is recommended to bury the cables with metal pipes covered, and ground the metal pipe properly. Or you can use following method: Use the metal pipes to cover the cables and route the pipes above the ground.
Figure 4-2 Equipotential Connection Device OUT Signal arrestor IN Equipotential connection Grounding cables should be less than 0.3 m Joint point for grounding NOTE! Please follow the steps above to install the arrestors and connect devices according to the field conditions. 3. Connect the arrestor and the device as shown in the Figure 4-3. Connect the IN terminal with signal channel and OUT terminal with the device.
3. Make sure that the grounding cable on the arrestor and the device chassis are connected properly. 4. Connect the IN terminal on the arrestor to external signal cables, and the OUT terminal to device protected. Make sure the indicators are shown correctly. 5. Tie the cables with nylon clips. CAUTION! See the specifications of the arrestors for detailed information. Ground a Device For outdoor or indoor cameras, you must ground the device properly. Choose a proper grounding method.

Figure 4-7 Ground the device by burying an object to the earth (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) 1: Grounding screw 2: AC power input 5: Angle iron (or steel pipe) 3: Ground wire 4: Earth Using protective earthing conductor of AC power cable If the device installation environment does not have a grounding bar, and does not allow burying a grounding object, you can ground the device by connecting it to the PE conductor of the AC power cable, as shown in Figure 4-8.
5 Waterproof Measure After you connect the tail cables, you must use the waterproof tape to protect the tail cables. The following figures are for your reference only. CAUTION! Prevent the cables from being shorted when covering the insulated rubber tape. Tie the waterproof tape tightly and cover all the cables. 1. Connect the cables. 2. Use insulated rubber tape to protect the connect point. 3. Choose a proper start point to cover the waterproof tape. 4.
6 5. Choose a proper start point to cover the waterproof tape. 6. Protect the cables with waterproof tape. Solutions for Common Problem How to Adjust Back Focus For manual lens, if you cannot get clear image after turning the lens, you can adjust the back focus. For motorized lens with ABF (automatic back focus), you can adjust the back focus by referring to the lens specifications. For motorized zoom lens without ABF function, adjust the back focus by using the BF knob.
1. Open the iris to the maximum, and then direct the camera to an object (such as a test card with high contrast) about 3 meters away. 2. Loosen the back focus knob. Back focus knob 3. Adjust the focus of lens to the minimum, and then fine tune the back focus knob to get clear image. 4. Adjust the focus of the lens to the maximum, and then fine tune back focus knob to get clear image. 5. Repeat the step 3 to 4 until you can always see clear image when changing the focus of the lens. 6.
