Connecting the Cables (continued)
Waterproofing Cable Joints
Waterproof the cable to install the camera using exposed wiring, or when installing the camera under eaves. Though the camera body is waterproof, the cable ends are not waterproofed.
Follow the procedure below to waterproof the power cables (including Alarm I/O cable) and LAN cable connections using butyl rubber tape (provided). If vinyl tape other than butyl rubber tape (provided) is used, water may seep in between the gaps and cause a malfunc- tion.
1Connect the power cable and the Alarm I/O cable.
2Wind butyl rubber tape around the connections.
3Wrap butyl rubber tape around the joint of the LAN cable connector.

• How to wrap butyl rubber tape (provided). |
|
Stretch the tape to about twice its length (see |
|
figure on the right), and wrap it around the cable. | Stretch about 2x |
Sufficient waterproofing performance cannot be |
|
obtained unless the tape is sufficiently stretched. | 2x |
•Waterproof the cable when installing the camera outdoors. The camera body is waterproof (JIS IP66 or equivalent) only when installation specified in this document and appropriate waterproofing is conducted correctly. The mounting bracket is not
waterproofed.
