Routing The Cable - WeatherBug HD MotionCam Installation, Operation And Maintenance Manual

HD MotionCam Installation Manual
Routing the Cables
It is best to work with a team of at least two people, as cable will have to be handled from
both the inside and the outside of the building.
Keep in mind the standard HD MotionCam package contains 100 feet of power cable and
200 feet of Ethernet cable. These cables must reach from the camera to the
corresponding network and power connections.
Note: The HD MotionCam Ethernet Cable is not UV rated. Cable must
be routed in conduit when running outdoors to protect it. The cable
should be run inside as much as possible. Cable can be run in ceiling
spaces. Both cables can be routed together if the internet and power
connections are within 100 ft. If the internet and power connections
are separate, than it is recommended each cable be run separately to
their corresponding connection points indoors.
1. With the end of the cables as close as possible to the network and power
connections that will be used, and allowing about eight extra feet, tape the end of
the cables to something sturdy in the area to hold it in place, keeping in mind that
the cables cannot run directly across the floor and will have to be attached to areas
such as the base of walls when the job is complete.
2. Run the cables to the general area that the camera will be mounted outside; fish
tape may be used here to make this step easier.
3. Tape the cables down as close to where the camera will be mounted as possible,
keeping in mind the cables will need to be run through the mounting arm for the
camera.
4. At the outside location where the camera is to be mounted, as close to the camera
as possible, install conduit to cover any outside portion of the cables. Make sure
the cables will reach through the mounting arm to where the camera will be
mounted.
