HD88 Bus / Ethernet Wiring
Wire the HD88 camera with a CAT5e or higher cable. Connect the two
twisted pairs to the Green (Data) and Clock (Y) of the panel bus and two
twisted pairs for the Ethernet lines. The maximum CAT5e cable length is
50 meters. When using Ethernet do NOT use Green (Data) and Yellow
(Clock) in one twisted pair, but rather separate them into different twisted
pairs as shown below.
Use a separate minimum 18 gauge wire for the power. If your power is
not coming from the panel or a bus power supply then you will also need
to connect the solid blue of the CAT5e cable to the negative (-) of the
camera to have a common ground.

Note: Green (Data) and Yellow (Clock) need to be on
separate pairs otherwise bus errors will occur.
HD88 WiFi Wiring
Wire the HD88 camera with a standard 4-wire bus cable. Connect the
Yellow and Green to the Green (Data) and Yellow (Clock) of the panel
bus.
Use a separate 18 gauge (minimum) wire for the power. If your power is
not coming from the panel or a bus power supply then you will also need
to connect the Black of the 4-wire bus cable to the negative (-) of the
camera to have a common ground.
