2.9.8 Variable PoE

The power consumption of the camera depends on the functions in use as well as any periph-
eral devices connected (see table). PoE classes 1, 2 or 3 may be selected in the browser-based
user interface in order to optimally adjust the camera to your system design (PoE switch in
use, emergency power concept, etc.).
PoE Power Level Classes (IEEE 802.3af Standard)
Class Max. power consumption
1 0.44 W–3.84 W
2 3.84 W–6.49 W
3 6.49 W–12.95 W
If the total power consumption of the camera and peripheral devices exceeds the
power provided by the PoE switch for the specified class, the switch can disconnect
the camera from the power supply. In this case, the camera will only be accessible
again once the peripheral devices have been disconnected from the camera and
the camera has been restarted.
The default setting is usually fine, and nothing needs to be changed. However, the PoE power
class must be changed in the browser if a higher or a lower power class is required for your
application:
1. Select Admin Menu > Network Setup >
Ethernet Interface (for experts).
2. Click on Change under Power Supply.
3. A Power Wizard will appear to guide
you through the PoE configuration
steps.
4. Next, restart the camera: Disconnect
the camera from the power supply.
Then reconnect it, for example, by
disconnecting and ten reconnecting
the Ethernet cable at the PoE switch.
Camera operating mode and peripheral devices
LowPower mode; no peripheral devices (available
