Wiring Steps
1) Connect breakout cable to controller and wire the red (POS+) and black (NEG-) wires to the correct terminals on the unplugged power supply.
2) Connect the controller to the camera using the camera cable.
3) Connect the controller to an active internet connection via ethernet.
Once your controller is powered up and connected to ethernet you will see the indicator light illuminate green (the controller can take up to 2-3 minutes to sync)
