This article applies to the following cameras:
C-12
C-08
When connecting an ethernet cable directly to the camera module, the camera will be identified as an indoor model.
Once the camera module is installed into an outdoor housing, a circuit board point on the rear of the camera module makes contact with the spring inside of the outdoor housing which signals to the module that there is an outdoor housing connected with optional connections and features available. Once the camera is booted up, the camera should now display as an outdoor model.
