Waterproofing the Camera Cables

5.1 Waterproofing the Camera Cables
The camera is IP66-rated to prevent water from entering the camera. Nevertheless, water can enter the
camera if it is not installed properly. Please make sure the warnings below are strictly followed when
installing the camera.
Place all cables and the adaptor in dry and well-waterproofed environments, e.g. waterproof boxes. This
prevents moisture accumulation inside the camera and moisture penetration into cables.
While running cables, slightly bend the cables in a U-shaped curve to create a low point (see figures
below). This prevents water from entering the camera along the cables from above.
