3. Mount the attachment plate and the base bracket.
   • When using the conduit on the ceiling or wall for wiring>
   • When drilling a hole through the ceiling or wall for wiring>

IMPORTANT:

• If open wiring is conducted, be sure to use conduits and run the cables inside the tubes to protect the cables from direct sunlight.
• Installation work shall be such that there is no exposure to water into the architecture through the conduits having been joined

Step 2 Making connections

IMPORTANT:

• Turn off each system’s power supply (PoE hub or device to supply power to the camera) before making a connection.
• The 12 V DC power supply shall be insulated from the commercial AC power.

1. Connect an Ethernet cable (category 5e or better, straight) to RJ45 (female) network cable. * The maximum cable length is 100 m {328 feet}.
   IMPORTANT:

   • 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.
   • The external dimensions of the Ethernet cable are from ø5 mm {ø3/16 inches} to ø6.5 mm {ø1/4inches}.
   1. First pass the Ethernet cable through the RJ45 waterproof connector cap (accessory) and then through 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.
   2. Take care not to remove the rubber parts from inside the RJ45 waterproof connector cover. BInsert the RJ45 plug into the RJ45 waterproof jack connected to the camera.
