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.
1
Connect the power cable and the
Alarm I/O cable.
2
Wind butyl rubber tape around the
connections.
3
Wrap butyl rubber tape around the
joint of the LAN cable connector.

Note
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.
Sufficient waterproofing performance cannot be
obtained unless the tape is sufficiently stretched.
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.
