Waterproof
Solution Using the “Pigtail”
The camera and the pre- installed network cable, “pigtail”, are resistant to salt, water, weak acid,
alcohol, oil, grease and other common solvents. However, users must ensure that the cable
connection and the network side cable itself are also protected from different environmental
factors.
When using a Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) switch or injector, connecting the network cable
through the “pigtail” is recommended. In this case, there are two waterproofing methods.
Bundled Accessory Description
Female Cable Gland Use this solution when connecting an Exterior-grade
Ethernet cable between the camera and a
Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) switch or injector. See How
to Use the Female Cable Gland on page 19.
Female Conduit Gland Use this solution when connecting a standard indoor
Ethernet cable between the camera and a
Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) switch / injector. A flexible
conduit (trade size 1/2”) is required to house the Ethernet
cable. See How to Use the Female Conduit Gland on
page 22.
NOTE: The flex conduit is not included in the package
and must be purchased separately.
If other devices, such as a power adapter, digital or audio input or output devices will be
connected to the camera, or in some cases, users may require the use of specific cables with
customized length, use the back connectors of the camera to connect the cables. See
Waterproof Solution Using the Camera Connectors on page 26 for cabling information.
