Camera Cabling
Please follow the instructions below for cable connections.
Power Connection
Please use a DC12V / AC24V power adaptor and plug it to the power connector of the camera
and the power outlet.
Alternatively, users can use an Ethernet cable and connect it to the RJ-45 connector of the
camera and a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) switch.
NOTE : If PoE is used, make sure PSE is in use in the network.
Ethernet Cable Connection
Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 connector of the camera, and plug 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
camera directly to the PC.
NOTE : Check the status of both power and network activity indicator LEDs. If either LED
is unlit, please check the corresponding connection.
Green Power LED lights up when the camera is powered up.
Orange Network LED (1) flashes when data is being transmitted over network,
(2) lights up for good network connection.
NOTE : The ITE is to be connected only to PoE networks without routing to the outside
plant or equivalent description.
