Connecting Cables
Refer to the diagrams in the Overview section for the location of the different connectors.
To connect the cables required for proper operation, complete the following:
1. Make sure the safety lanyard is connected to the dome camera.
2. If there are external input or output devices that need to be connected to the camera (for example: door
contacts, relays, speakers, etc), connect the devices to the camera I/O connector cable.
3. Connect power using one of the following methods:
l Power over Ethernet (PoE) Class 3 or PoE Plus Class 4 — Connect a PoE compliant injector or
switch to the Ethernet network cable.
l External Power — Connect an external “Class 2” or “LPS” or “Limited Power Source” with output
rated 24VAC +/- 10%, 37VA minimum or 24VDC +/- 10%, 26W minimum.
For more information, see Connecting External Power on page17.
Tip: When installing in cold environments, use PoE Plus Class 4 or external power to defrost or
defog the dome bubble more quickly.
4. Connect a network cable to the Ethernet port (RJ-45 connector).
The Link LED will turn on once a network link has been established.
5. Check that the Connection Status LED indicates the correct state. For more information, see LED
Indicators on page19.
