Step 4: Connect and Manage the Cables
The camera and the pre-installed network cable, “pigtail”, are resistant to salt, water, weak acid,
alcohol, oil, grease and other common solvents. If the camera will be installed indoors, simply
connect the network side cable to the camera Ethernet port.
However, if the camera will be installed outdoors, ensure that the cable connections are
protected from different environmental factors. Use the bundled cable gland to protect the
Ethernet connection and use a waterproof tape to protect other cable connections. See Using a
Power Adapter (Optional) on page 17 for more information.
DISCLAIMER: ACTi will not be responsible for camera damage caused by water entering the
cable connections.
