Setting up the Rugged Remote Cameras (up to 1500 ft)
At this point the DVR, monitor, VPD, and alarm box are setup and the monitor shows a blank view as
seen above. If this is not the view, then push the MODE button repeatedly until the split channel view
showing all four channels is seen.
The first step in setting up the remote camera modules is to run the CAT-5 cables from the VPD out to
each camera location. It is highly recommended that all cables and cameras are tested prior to
running your cables to the final installation point. This will help reduce work if a bad cable or
connector is found prior to the running of the cable. The CAT-5 cables should not exceed 1500ft for
optimum performance and should be UV resistant if they are going to be outdoors for prolonged
periods of time (months).
Once the camera modules have been mounted and the cable has been run, the connection at each
camera end is made. First prep the CAT-5 cable by removing any protective boots around the RJ-45
connector and adding several wraps of electrical tape (to help ensure a good seal) around the first few
inches of the cable as shown below.

Once the CAT-5 cable end has been prepared, unscrew the bottom half of the waterproof connector on
the bottom of the remote camera module and pass the end of the CAT-5 cable through the connector as
shown below.
