will be routed through the mounting surface, mark the location of the hole for the cable. NOTE: The
drop cable can be routed through the cable channel on the side of the base.
3. Drill holes for the mounting fasteners, and for the drop cable if needed.
4. Route the drop cable as planned, then secure the mounting base to the surface with the fasteners.
5. Wire the ground terminal on the back of the camera to an earth grounded conductor.
Step 2. Connect the camera to the LAN and power it on
1. Route a Ethernet LAN cable to the camera and plug it into the Ethernet connector. Seal the
connection from moisture and other contamination. A weatherproof fitting is provided.
