Step 4: Connect the Cables
1. Connect the Ethernet cable from the network side to the Ethernet port of the camera to
complete the installation.
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.
2. If the camera will be installed outdoors, waterproof the cable connection by wrapping it using
a moisture-sealant tape, such as 3M PRODUCTS Core Series 4-1000 (not included in the
package) or equivalent. See example below.
Step 5: Access the Camera Live View
See How to Access the Camera Live View on page 28 for more information.
Step 6: Adjust the Viewing Angle and Focus
Based on the Live View, adjust the viewing angle and focus of the camera. Adjustments vary per
model; for detailed information, please refer to the following sections:
