Hello I recently purchase a Hikvision Smart IPC DS-2CD4332FWD-IZHS camera and nearly had a heart attack when I opened the box. There is 18 bare wires, 1 Ethernet plug & 1 other plug. The manual only talks about the Ethernet cable which is straight forward no mention about the other 18 wires. The NVR system I have is a Hikvision DS-9008HFI-ST and I have a POE switch on my network. Not sure if anyone knows what type of wire I need to run in the ceiling or suggestions on how to connect. Thanks in advance Jamie

Thanks for reply I just wanted to check in case I do something wrong, that may cause some damage because it cost me an arm and a leg. I will use the cat5/6 cable, so its basically plug and play, sounds easy. I will give it a go. Thanks Jamie

Hello I have a ptz ip camera that I purchased, but it does not come with any wiring installations. There is only 2 wires coming out of the camera, there is a rj45 Ethernet female port and a 12volt power supply, which it came with its own power supply. Where the camera is getting installed I have already cat6 cabling, rg59 & power outlets. There is no wires for the control of the ptz but I assume that will some how be built in to the rj45, any help how to wire up this would be appreciated. I assume I must need to use Baluns but I have no idea what wire one the rj45 will be doing what. I plan on once I have the wires sorted out that the video and rs ports will be directly installed into the NVR or does it have to go via a switch or router first. The camera I have is this one http://www.cctvdiscover.com/ipc-network-cameras-c58/cctv-speed-1080p-x20-ptz-dome-camera-hikvision-module-p189.html The nvr I am using is http://www.cctvdiscover.com/digital-video-recorder-hybrid-dvr-nvr-c19_86/hikvision-9008hfi-8ch-hybrid-dvr-p192.html Thanks for your help Jamie
