5.1 Indoor Installation
Read the instructions provided in this chapter thoroughly before installing the CM-4251-10-I camera.
Following are additional considerations for indoor installation:
 There must be a fuse or circuit breaker at the starting point of the electrical wiring
infrastructure.
 For indoor installations, such as industrial applications, the camera must be protected from
hostile external elements (e.g. corrosive environment, metallic dust, extreme temperatures,
soot, moisture, over spray, etc.).
 Do not place the camera on or near radiators and heat sources.
 All electrical work must be performed in accordance with local regulatory requirements.
5.2 Outdoor Installation
Read the instructions provided in this chapter thoroughly before installing the CM-4251-11-I camera.
Following are additional considerations for outdoor installation:
 For outside wiring installation, always use weatherproof equipment, such as boxes,
receptacles, connectors, etc.
 For electrical wiring, use the properly rated sheathed cables for conditions to which the
cable will be exposed (for example, moisture, heat, UV, physical requirements, etc.).
 Plan ahead to determine where to install infrastructure weatherproof equipment. Whenever
possible, ground components to an outdoor ground.
 Use best security practices to design and maintain secured camera access, communications
infrastructure, tamper-proof outdoor boxes, etc.
 All electrical work must be performed in accordance with local regulatory requirements.
