Connect one end of the Ethernet Cable to the RJ-45 connector of the IP
Camera, and the other end of the cable to the network switch or PC.
NOTE:
In some cases, Ethernet Crossover Cable might be needed
when connecting the IP Camera directly to the PC.
Check the status of the link indicator and activity indicator LEDs. If the LEDs are
unlit, please check the LAN connection.
Green Link Light indicates good network connection.
Orange Activity Light flashes for network activity indication.

wires (purple and brown), and the Alarm I/O is connected by a 4 pins terminal
block. Refer to section
