6.11.3.1 Connecting and Removing BNC Cables
BNC (Bayonet Nut Connector) is a special connector that locks on to the system port and
cannot be accidently removed.
To connect or remove a BNC connector:
• Push the BNC connector firmly into the BNC port and simultaneously twist the connec-
tor clockwise to tighten.
• To remove a BNC connector from a BNC port, push and simultaneously twist the con-
nector counter-clockwise to loosen the BNC connector.

You can extend the cable run for your camera depending on the cable type used. Addition-
al extension cables sold separately. See table below:
