Using the RJ45 Cable Gland

Optional
The RJ45 cable gland covers the camera's Ethernet connector and the RJ45 plug to provide weather-resistance and protection from dust, dirt and other environmental contaminants.
The RJ45 cable gland is pre-attached to the included CAT5e ethernet extension cable.

To use the RJ45 cable gland:
Twist the RJ45 cable gland barrel securely onto the camera Ethernet connector.

NOTE: The RJ45 cable gland is weather-resistant. Seal the cap with silicone and/or electrical tape for additional sealing if it will be exposed to precipitation regularly.

Installing the Unit

ATTENTION:
Test your camera prior to selecting a permanent mounting location by temporarily connecting the camera and cable to your NVR.

Before Installing the Camera

• Decide whether to run the cables through the wall / ceiling (drilling required) or along the wall / ceiling.
• If you run the cables along the wall / ceiling, you must run the cable through the cable notch on the base. This will keep the camera base flush to the surface when mounted.
  

To install your camera:

1. Use the included mounting template to mark holes for the mounting screws and camera cable.
2. Drill holes for the mounting screws and camera cable
   NOTE: Use the included drywall anchors if needed.
3. Connect cables as shown in the section "Connecting the Camera".
4. Attach the camera base to the mounting surface using the included mounting screws (4×).
   
5. Use the included Allen key to loosen the adjustment screw on the camera base. Make the necessary camera angle adjustment.
   
6. Tighten the adjustment screw when finished.
7. Remove the vinyl film from the camera lens when your installation is complete.

ATTENTION:
This camera includes an Auto Mechanical IR Cut Filter. When the camera changes between Day/Night viewing modes, an audible clicking noise may be heard from the camera. This clicking is normal, and indicates that the camera filter is working.

Connecting the Device

Connect the Ethernet cable to the camera.
NOTES:

• For weatherproofing instructions, see "Using the RJ45 Cable Gland (Optional)".
• A 12V DC power adapter (model#: ACCPWR12V2A, not included) is only required if connecting the camera's Ethernet cable to a router or switch that does not support PoE.

Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the NVR's PoE ports. The camera may take a minute to power up after being connected.

OR
Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to a router or switch on your network. See your NVR manual for details on connecting the camera to your NVR using a switch or router.
