Quick Start Guide

Installation Requirements

• Pole-mounting: Two metal straps (not included)
• Shielded Category 5 (or above) cabling with drain wire should be used for all outdoor wired Ethernet connections and should be grounded through the AC ground of the PoE.

We recommend that you protect your networks from harmful outdoor environments and destructive ESD events with industrial-grade, shielded Ethernet cable from Ubiquiti Networks. For more details, visit www.ubnt.com/toughcable

- Surge protection should be used for all outdoor installations. We recommend that you use two Ethernet Surge Protectors, model ETH-SP, one near the camera and the other at the entry point to the building. The ETH-SP will absorb power surges and safely discharge them into the ground.

TERMS OF USE: All Ethernet cabling runs must use CAT5 (or above). Shielded Ethernet cable and earth grounding must be used for outdoor installations as conditions of product warranty. TOUGHCable™ is designed for outdoor installations. It is the professional installer's responsibility to follow local country regulations.
