  Installing and Connecting the Camera 
This chapter describes how to install and connect the unit. It includes the following topics:  
•  Pre-Installation Checklist
 
•  Outdoor Mounting Recommendations 
•  Mounting Instructions 
•  Powering the Camera 
•  Connecting the Camera to the Network

3.1  Pre-Installation Checklist 
Before installing the unit, make sure that: 
•  Instructions in the General Cautions and Warnings and Site Preparation
 sections are followed. 
•  All related equipment is powered off during the installation. 
•  Use best security practices to design and maintain secured camera access, communications 
infrastructure, tamper-proof outdoor boxes, etc. 
•  All electrical work must be performed in accordance with local regulatory requirements. 
 
 
Caution 
To avoid damage from overheating or unit failure, assure that there is sufficient temperature 
regulation to support the unit’s requirements (cooling/heating). Operating temperature should be kept 
in the range -30°C to 60°C (-22°F to 140°F), with no more than 90% non-condensing humidity. 
Attention 
Afin d'éviter tout dommage dû à une surchauffe ou toute panne de l'unité, assurez-vous que la 
régulation de température est suffisante pour répondre aux exigences de l'unité 
(refroidissement/chauffage). La température de fonctionnement doit être maintenue dans la plage (-
30° à 60°C/-22° à 140°F), sans condensation d'humidité supérieur à 90%. 
3.2  Outdoor Mounting Recommendations 
Following are additional considerations for outdoor installation: 
•  For outside wiring installation, always use weatherproof equipment, such as boxes, receptacles, 
connectors, etc.  
•  For electrical wiring, use the properly rated sheathed cables for conditions to which the cable will be 
exposed (for example, moisture, heat, UV, physical requirements, etc.). 
•  Plan ahead to determine where to install infrastructure weatherproof equipment. Whenever possible, 
ground components to an outdoor ground.
