Standard accessories 

• Confirm the following items are included in the camera’s packaging

Connection

Device external cable

Assembling RJ 45 waterproof connecto

Important:

• The maximum cable length is 100 m.
• Make sure that the PoE device in use is compliant with the IEEE802.3af standard.
• Use all 4 pairs (8 pins) of the Ethernet cable.
• The external dimensions of the Ethernet cable are ø5 mm to ø6.5 mm.

If the procedure for the RJ45 waterproof connector (accessory) part is not correctly followed, the waterproofing may be compromised. Do not install the camera where the RJ45 waterproof connector is exposed to constant rain or moisture

1. Attach the rubber ring (accessory) to the RJ45 waterproof jack connected to the
   • Arch with the fat surface of the rubber ring facing the RJ45 waterproof jack.
2. First ,pass the Ethernet cable through the RJ45 waterproof connector cap (accessory), the inner rubber (accessory), and then the RJ45 waterproof connector cover (accessory).
   Next, use a specialized tool (locally procured) to crimp the RJ45 plug (locally procured) to the end of the Ethernet cable.
   Pass the inner rubber over the cable so that the grooved surface faces the RJ45 plug and the flat surface faces the Ethernet cable.
3. Insert the inner rubber into the far end of the waterproof connector cover (the direction in which multiple tabs are open) to secure it temporarily inside the multiple tabs.
   The following steps illustrate how to attach the connector to a camera as it is being installed.
4. Connect the RJ45 plug to the RJ45 waterproof jack and then rotate and tighten firmly the RJ45 waterproof connector cover.
5. Connect the RJ45 waterproof connector cap to the RJ 45 waterproof connector cover and rotate the RJ45 waterproof connector cap until there is no gap between it and the RJ45 waterproof connector cover.
