It is recommended to connect the camera to your NVR and test the PTZ controls before permanent installation.
For instructions on how to set up PTZ controls, see 5 Controlling the PTZ camera with an NVR, page 17.

1. Connect the PoE+ connector on the camera cable to an Ethernet extension cable.
2. Connect the Ethernet extension cable to one of the PoE+ ports on the back panel of your
NVR.
NOTE
• You can use up to a 300ft (91m) CAT5e Ethernet cable to connect the camera to your NVR (not included).

3.2 Connecting Cameras to the Local Area Network (LAN)

For flexibility, you may also connect the camera to the same Local Area Network (LAN) as the
NVR. This is accomplished by connecting the camera to the same router as the NVR. For these
installations, an external PoE+ switch (sold separately) or power adapter (included) must be used
to provide power to the camera. You also must add the camera on the NVR before it will show a
picture on the monitor or be recorded by the NVR.
