STEP 1 – PREPARING TO MOUNT THE CAMERA

The mounting surface must withstand five times the camera weight.
Do not let the cables get caught in improper places or the electric line cover can be damaged. This may cause a short fire.
CAUTION: These servicing instructions are for use by qualified service personnel only. To reduce the risk of electric shock do not perform any servicing other than that contained in the operating instructions unless you are qualified to do so.
This product is intended to be supplied by a UL Listed Power Supply Unit marked “Class 2” or “LPS” or “PS2” and rated 12 Vdc, 0.43A min.
The wired LAN hub providing power over the Ethernet (PoE) in accordance with IEEE 802-3af shall be a UL Listed device with the output evaluated as a Limited Power Source as defined in UL60950-1 or PS2 as defined in UL62368-1.
Unit is intended for installation in a Network Environment 0 as defined in IEC TR 62102. As such, associated Ethernet wiring shall be limited to inside the building.

STEP 2 – POWERING THE CAMERA

Pass the wires through the mount bracket and make all necessary connections.

If you are using a PoE Switch, connect the camera using an Ethernet cable for both data and power.
If you are using a non-PoE switch, connect the camera to the switch using an Ethernet cable for data transmission and use a power adapter to power the camera.

b. Connect the LAN cable to the camera’s network port b.
c. c will be affixed to b with a ¼ turn counter-clockwise.
d. Thread and twist b tightly to c. NOTE: To ensure moisture seal, make sure the o-ring is in place between a and b. In extreme environments use of an outdoor-rated sealer is recommended.
NOTE: Cables with ø4.5mm to ø5.5mm thickness should use the black rubber ring. Cables over ø5.5mm in thickness should use the white rubber ring.
Mount the camera to the mounting surface and secure using the screws and wall anchors included with the camera.
