Ethernet Cable Connection

Connect one end of the CAT 5 Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 connector of the camera and
the other end of the cable to the network switch or recorder.

Note

In some cases, you may need to use an Ethernet crossover cable when
connecting the camera directly to the recorder.

Check the status of the link indicator and activity indicator LEDs. If the LEDs are unlit,

check the LAN connection.

The Green link light indicates a good network connection.

The Orange activity light flashes to indicate network activity.

Grounding Recommendation

The GND (ground) wire must be directly connected to the middle pin of the AC24V
power connector. Failure to connect the ground can cause damage and failure of the
camera and may void the warranty.

If the connection of the GND wire causes video noise, use a video isolator. This is only
necessary in some situations.
