The installer will need to supply the following items, which are specific to the installation.
• 24 V Power supply
• Electrical wire, for system power; up to 100' (3-conductor, shielded, gauge determined by cable
length and supply voltage. Refer to
• Camera grounding strap
• Coaxial RG59U video cables (BNC connector at the camera end) for analog video

The camera will require connections for power, communications (IP Ethernet, and/or serial
communications), and video.
Install cameras with an easily accessible Ethernet connection to support future software updates.
Ensure that cable distances do not exceed the specifications and that cables adhere to all local and
Industry Standards, Codes, and Best Practices.
If the camera is to be mounted on a pole, tower, or other hard-to-reach location, connect and
operate the camera as a bench test prior to mounting the camera in its final location.

When selecting a mounting location for the F-Series camera, consider cable lengths and cable routing.
Ensure the cables are long enough, given the proposed mounting locations and cable routing
requirements, and route the cables before you install the components.
Use cables that have sufficient dimensions to ensure safety (for power cables) and adequate signal
strength (for video and communications).
