Installing the camera

For basic operation, you need to connect Ethernet, power and video output
cables to the components in the dome shown in Figure 2 on page 5. For
advanced operation, you can also connect any combination of alarm, relay, or
audio cables to the dome.

A qualified service person, complying with all applicable codes, should perform
all required hardware installation.

Note: After removing the protective foil, it is recommended to clean the bubble in
order to ensure a clear view at all times.
