  • If passing the cord through a wall or ceiling, drill a 7/8” hole.
  • We recommend using the waterproof cable connector on all installations.
  • For maximum weather and tamper resistance in outdoor installations, place the connection between your camera cable and the camera jack within a wall or use a wall mount or junction box available at avertx.com.
  • For outdoor installations, use silicone caulking to seal any holes in the wall or ceiling to protect against leaks.
  • If your installation is in a commercial building, consult local fire codes. Plenum-rated cable may be required.
