Preparing the cables
Which and how many cables you will be preparing depends upon whether you are setting up your dome to
transmit video via its coaxial or UTP source, how many alarms and relays you are connecting in addition to the
video, data, and power cables, and if you will be installing an Ethernet cable for flash upgrades.
To prepare the facility camera cables, terminate the cable ends as shown in Figure 8.
Figure 8. Prepared cables
Power: strip ends of wires
Alarms and relays: strip ends of wires
Data: strip ends of wires (UTP for RS-422 or STP for RS-485)
Note:
Analog video and data wires can share the same
jacket but must remain separate twisted pairs.
Video (UTP): strip ends of UTP wires
Note:
Analog video and data wires can share the same
jacket but must remain separate twisted pairs.
Video (coaxial): terminate coaxial cable with BNC connector
Note:
Use only crimp-on BNC connectors. Do not use screw-on connectors.
Ethernet (for flashing software upgrades): terminate standard CAT-5
Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connector
Note:
If you are making your cables, do not add a boot. If you are using ready-
made cables that include a boot, cut off the boot and reterminate the cable.
