Bullet Camera Installation in a Heated Outdoor Enclosure
https://campus.barracuda.com/doc/46897382/
This document explains how to install a Bullet Camera into an outdoor enclosure with environmental
controls. It does not cover the physical mounting of the enclosure mount or running the conduit.
Much of the installation work is best done on the ground. You can complete most of the steps in this
article before you get to the installation site. Only the final step requires you to be at the final
installation location.
PART I: COMPLETE BEFORE MOVING TO THE INSTALLATION LOCATION
Understanding the Parts
You must run two separate cable wires:
for the camera – CAT-5 or better
for the enclosure's control printed circuit board (PCB) – 24 VAC
The images in this article show the use of a cable gland, which shipped with the enclosure. Flexible
conduit systems generally provide better results. It is up to the installer to adapt their chosen conduit
system to the enclosure.
The enclosure includes an opening that accepts industry-standard ½" conduit termination, such as
those shown here.
