6.  Connect an Ethernet cable from the network side to the Ethernet port of the camera to 
complete the installation. See Basic Connections on page 23 for more information. 
NOTES on using Ethernet cables: For outdoor installations, it is recommended to use 
exterior-grade Ethernet cables (CAT5/CAT5e/CAT6); ordinary Ethernet cables are only 
designed for indoor use and may deteriorate quickly when exposed to outdoor elements. 
Exterior-grade Ethernet cables are waterproof and do not require a conduit. 
  CAUTION: If the camera will be installed outdoors, be sure to waterproof the cable 
connection by enclosing it inside a junction box or wrap it using a moisture-sealant tape, 
such as 3M PRODUCTS Core Series 4-1000 (not included in the package) or equivalent. 
See example below. 
For other waterproofing methods, see Waterproof Cable Installation on page 14.
