Install the housing

The instructions below describe how to install an indoor thermal network camera in a housing, see
www.axis.com for information on outdoor housings and other accessories.

Prepare the network cable

The provided network cable can be connected in several ways. The first option is to use the cable as
is, with the pre-mounted rubber gasket.
The second option is to use the provided plastic M20 cable gland, which must be used to achieve an
IP66 rating. Using any other cable gland may cause water to seep in and damage the camera.
If a cable other than the provided cable is used, you need to prepare a network cable with a gasket.
Gently force the cable through the gasket provided and attach a network connector. It may be
necessary to pierce a hole in the gasket with the supplied screwdriver.
Notes:
• Always use a shielded network cable (STP) between the camera and the end point and ensure that
the end point is properly grounded. Installations of Axis cameras using a shielded network cable (STP)
and a properly grounded end point have been tested to comply with industry immunity standards'
levels such as surge protection. Any other installation method will void the warranty and leave the
unit at a risk.
• Do not force the network connector into the gasket.
• Do not pierce the gasket with a knife or other sharp object.
